sham-E-Gham ki kasam aaj gham hi hai hum
aa bhi ja aa bhi ja aaj mere sanam
sham-e-gham ki kasam

dil pareshaan hai raat veeran hai
dekh ja kis tarha aaj tanha hai hum
sham-e-gham ki kasam

chain kaisa jo pehlu mai tu hi nahi
maar daale na ye gham ki judai kahi
rut aisi hai hai to kya chandani narm hai
aur judai ka gham
sham-E-Gham ki kasam aaj gham hi hai hum
aa bhi ja aa bhi ja aaj mere sanam
sham-e-gham ki kasam

ab to aaja ab raat aadhi so gai
zindagi sharao ke gham me kho gai
ab to aaja ab raat aadhi so gai
zindagi sharao ke gham me kho gai
dhundti nazer tu kaha hai magar
dekhte dekhte aaya aankho me dum
sham-E-Gham ki kasam aaj gham hi hai hum
aa bhi ja aa bhi ja aaj mere sanam
sham-e-gham ki kasam

By the oath of sorrow's eve, today, sorrow is all we are,
Come, oh come, oh come, my beloved, this very hour.
By the oath of sorrow's eve.

The heart is restless, the night desolate and bare,
See how alone we are, in this moment's snare.
By the oath of sorrow's eve.

What peace is there when you are not by my side?
This separation, this sorrow, may well be my tide.
The season's embrace, though the moonlight be mild,
And the sorrow of separation, a heart running wild.
By the oath of sorrow's eve, today, sorrow is all we are,
Come, oh come, oh come, my beloved, this very hour.
By the oath of sorrow's eve.

Now come, for the night has slumbered half its way,
Life is lost in the desert of grief this day.
Now come, for the night has slumbered half its way,
Life is lost in the desert of grief this day.
My gaze searches, where are you, my love, where do you roam?
Watching, watching, until life's breath has gone home.
By the oath of sorrow's eve, today, sorrow is all we are,
Come, oh come, oh come, my beloved, this very hour.
By the oath of sorrow's eve.
