shaharo shaharo aaj hai tanhaa, dil par gaharaa daag liye
dil par gaharaa daag liye
galiyo galiyo ho gaye rusavaa, dil par gaharaa daag liye
dil par gaharaa daag liye

aaj gulistaan me faili hai khushaboo teri yaado ki
mausam-e-gul hai ham hai tanhaa, dil par gaharaa daag liye
dil par gaharaa daag liye

rote-dhote ji ko jalaate, mazil-e-shab tak aa pahunche
chehare par hai gadr-e-tamannaa, dil par gaharaa daag liye
dil par gaharaa daag liye

dhundhane unako shahar-e-butaan me aaj gaye the ham bhi 'adib'
aankh me lekar gam kaa dariyaa, dil par gaharaa daag liye
dil par gaharaa daag liye
shaharo shaharo aaj hai tanhaa, dil par gaharaa daag liye
dil par gaharaa daag liye

Cities, cities, orphaned now, bearing wounds unseen,
Bearing wounds unseen.
Streets, streets, disgraced and lost, bearing wounds unseen,
Bearing wounds unseen.

In this garden, scents of you still softly bloom,
Spring's breath surrounds, yet I'm alone, bearing wounds unseen,
Bearing wounds unseen.

Weeping, burning life's core, we reached the night's dark shore,
Dust of longing on our face, bearing wounds unseen,
Bearing wounds unseen.

Searching for them in the city of idols, I too went, Adeeb,
Carrying an ocean of sorrow in my eyes, bearing wounds unseen,
Bearing wounds unseen.
Cities, cities, orphaned now, bearing wounds unseen,
Bearing wounds unseen.
