jab nahi aaye the tum
tab bhi to tum aaye the
jab nahi aaye the tum
tab bhi to tum aaye the
aankh mein nur ki aur
dil mein lahu ki surat
yaad ki tarha dhadakte
hue dil ki surat

tum nahi aaye abhi
phir bhi to tum aaye ho
raat ke sine mein mehatab
ke khanjar ke tarha
subho ke haath me
khursheed ke sagar ki tarha

tum nahi aoge jab
phir bhi to tum aaoge
julf dar julf bikhar
jayega phir raat ka rang
shab-e-tanhai mein bhi
luft-e-mulakaat ka rang

aao aane ki kare batein
ke tum aaye ho
aao aane ki kare batein
ke tum aaye ho
ab tum aaye ho to main
kaun si sheh nazar karu
ke mere paas siva mehro
wafa kuch bhi nahi
ek dil ek tamanna ke
siva kuch bhi nahi
ek dil ek tamanna ke
siva kuch bhi nahi

Before you came,
You were here.
Before you came,
You were here.
Light in the eye,
Blood in the heart,
Beating like memory,
The shape of the soul.

Though you haven't arrived,
You are here still,
Like a moon-dagger,
Plunged in night's breast,
Like the sun's ocean,
Held in dawn's hand.

When you will not come,
You will be here then,
Hair by hair, unraveling,
Night's hue will fall,
Even in lonely nights,
The joy of meeting.

Let's speak of arrival,
For you have arrived.
Let's speak of arrival,
For you have arrived.
Now that you are here,
What can I offer you?
I have nothing but love,
And loyalty, nothing more.
Only a heart, a longing,
Nothing more.
Only a heart, a longing,
Nothing more.
