tauba tauba aisi tanhayi
tauba tauba aisi tanhayi ke bas
tauba tauba aisi tanhayi ke bas
aaj teri itni yaad aayi ke bas
tauba tauba aisi tanhayi hoyi ke bas

hosh mein aake bhi raha besudh
hosh mein aake bhi raha besudh
bekhudi is kadar se chhayi ke bas
aaj teri itni yaad aayi ke bas

aur kuch ab nazar nahi aata
aur kuch ab nazar nahi aata
yu nazar mein hai tu samayi ke bas
tauba tauba aisi tanhayi ke bas
aaj teri itni yaad aayi ke bas
tauba tauba tauba tauba
tauba tauba tauba tauba
tauba tauba tauba tauba
tauba tauba tauba tauba

ab to aankho se ashq bhi ruthe
tauba tauba tauba tauba
tauba tauba tauba tauba
ab to aankho se ashq bhi ruthe
tu mujhe itna rulayi ke bas
tu mujhe itna rulayi ke bas
tauba tauba aisi tanhayi ke bas
aaj teri itni yaad aayi ke bas
tauba tauba aisi tanhayi ke bas
aaj teri itni yaad aayi ke bas

A solitude, a chastening of the soul,
A solitude, that's all, and nothing more.
So deep the ache, a boundless, empty hole,
Your memory surged, and flooded to the core.
A solitude, a soul's surrender, sore.

Though senses roused, my spirit numb and lost,
Though senses roused, within a waking dream,
Such sweet oblivion, a heavy cost,
Your memory surged, a never-ending stream.

No other sight, no solace can I find,
No other sight, for only you remain,
Your image held within my heart and mind,
A solitude, a cleansing, cleansing pain.
Your memory surged, a sunlit, pouring rain.
A solitude, again, again, again,
A solitude, again, again, again,
A solitude, again, again, again.

My very tears refuse to fall and flow,
My very tears, a desert, dry and bare.
You made me weep, a river, down below,
You made me weep, beyond all worldly care.
A solitude, a heavy, aching prayer.
Your memory surged, so present everywhere.
A solitude, a loss beyond compare.
Your memory surged, a light within the air.
