kab yaad me tera sath nahi
kab hath me tera hath nahi
chal shukar ke apni raato me
ab hijar ki koi raat nahi

main jane wafa darbar nahi
yaha naam-o-nasl ki puchh kahan
aashiq to kisi ka naam nahi
kuch ishq kisi ke jaat nahi
kab raah me tera sath nahi, sath nahi
kab hath me tera hath nahi

kab yaad me
agar baazi ishq ki baazi hai
jo chahe laga do darr kaisa
jo jeet gaye to kya kahna
haar bhi to baazi maat nahi
chal shukar ke apni raato me
ab hijar ki koi raat nahi
kab raah me tera sath nahi, sath nahi
kab hath me tera hath nahi
kab yaad me tera sath nahi, sath nahi
kab hath me tera hath nahi

When your memory, a phantom's embrace, is ever-present,
When your hand, a whispered promise, is absent from my own?
Let us give thanks, for in these nights of remembrance,
The long night of separation has finally flown.

I am not the court of a lover's decree,
Where lineage and label hold any sway.
Here, love transcends all earthly identity,
For a lover's name is simply, "Love's Way."
When your path intertwines not with mine,
When your hand is not held in my own?

When in memory...
If this game is the game of love's fire,
Then gamble all, let fear take flight.
If victory is ours, what praise could be higher?
Even defeat is not the end of the light.
Let us give thanks, for in these nights of remembering,
The long night of separation has finally flown.
When your path intertwines not with mine,
When your hand is not held in my own?
When your memory, a phantom's embrace, is ever-present,
When your hand, a whispered promise, is absent from my own?
