shikava tera mai gaaun dil me samane vale
bhoole se yaad kar le o bhool jane vale
shikava tera

ai aah mera bhed kahin khol na dena
ai aah mera bhed kahin khol na dena
hum ko hai unse pyar kahin bol na dena
hum bhi hain zid ke poore zid ke nibhane vale
pi jayege ansu bhi hum le rulane vale, shikava tera
shikava tera mai gaaun dil me samane vale
bhoole se yaad kar le o bhool jane vale
shikava tera

mar jaye hum aap hume yaad karoge
mar jaye hum aap hume yaad karoge
roge phoot phoot kar fariyaad karoge
dhundhege phir sahara ansu bahane vale
ayege nahin ja ke duniya se jane vale, shikava tera
shikava tera mai gaaun dil me samane vale
bhoole se yaad kar le o bhool jane vale
shikava tera

My lament, I sing for you, you who dwell within my heart,
If only by chance, you’d remember me, you who have forgotten,
My lament.

Oh, my sigh, do not betray the secrets I keep,
Oh, my sigh, do not reveal the depths of my sleep,
We love them, do not speak of it, do not let them know,
We too are steadfast, in our devotion we will grow.
We will drink the tears, even those that cause pain,
My lament, I sing for you, you who dwell within my heart,
If only by chance, you’d remember me, you who have forgotten,
My lament.

We will perish, and then you will remember,
We will perish, and then you will surrender,
You will weep bitterly, and you’ll cry out in despair,
You will search for comfort, with tears beyond compare.
The one who departs this world, will not return again,
My lament, I sing for you, you who dwell within my heart,
If only by chance, you’d remember me, you who have forgotten,
My lament.
