saki ki zarurat hai na zam ki zarurat hai
humko to sanam tere bas naam ki zarurat hai
subha ki zarurat hai na sham ki zarurat hai
humko to sanam tere bas naam ki zarurat hai
saki ki zarurat hai na zam ki zarurat hai
humko to sanam tere bas naam ki zarurat hai

har ek wada kasam se tod de
har ek wada kasam se tod de
chahe duniya akela chhod de
mil gaya humko kisi ke palko ka saya
thak chuke hai hum hume aaram ki zarurat hai
saki ki zarurat hai na zam ki zarurat hai
humko to sanam tere bas naam ki zarurat hai

tum ho apne koi bhi hum nahi
tum ho apne koi bhi hum nahi
darne wale saza se hum nahi
mana ulfat hai badi badnaam duniya me
phir bhi humko to kisi ilzam ki zarurat hai
saki ki zarurat hai na zam ki zarurat hai
humko to sanam tere bas naam ki zarurat hai

is jaha se hume kya wasta
is jaha se hume kya wasta ab hamara zuda hai rasta
sunke jismo dil dhadak uthe ye diwana
dil diwane ko usi paigam ki zarurat hai
saki ki zarurat hai na zam ki zarurat hai
humko to sanam tere bas naam ki zarurat hai
subha ki zarurat hai na sham ki zarurat hai
humko to sanam tere bas naam ki zarurat hai

No need for the cup, nor the wine's embrace,
Beloved, your name is all we chase.
No need for dawn, nor for evening's guise,
Beloved, your name is our only prize.
No need for the cup, nor the wine's embrace,
Beloved, your name is all we chase.

Shatter each vow, break every plea,
Let the world forsake, and leave just me.
Finding refuge 'neath lashes' gentle shade,
Weary we are, for solace we've prayed.
No need for the cup, nor the wine's embrace,
Beloved, your name is all we chase.

You are all, we are less than naught,
Of punishment, we have no thought.
Love, they say, is a world of ill fame,
Yet, we crave the whisper of blame.
No need for the cup, nor the wine's embrace,
Beloved, your name is all we chase.

What have we to do with the world's hold?
Our path is set, a story told.
The heart and soul, trembling with love's fire,
The heart craves that message to inspire.
No need for the cup, nor the wine's embrace,
Beloved, your name is all we chase.
No need for the cup, nor the wine's embrace,
Beloved, your name is all we chase.
