yaadon ka sahara na hota
hum chhod ke duniya chal dete
ye dard jo pyara na hota
hum chhod ke duniya chal dete

toota hua dil, toote arman
teri hai amanat paas mere
toota hua dil, toote arman
teri hai amanat paas mere
teri hai amanat paas mere
ye dil jo tumhara na hota
hum chhod ke duniya chal dete
yaadon ka sahara na hota
hum chhod ke duniya chal dete

shayad ke tere kam aa jaaye
ye jaan meri o jaan-e-jigar
shayad ke tere kam aa jaaye
ye jaan meri o jaan-e-jigar
ye jaan meri o jaan-e-jigar
kismat ka ishara na hota
hum chhod ke duniya chal dete
yadon ka sahara na hota
hum chhod ke duniya chal dete

ruk jayen, kahan hain kisko khabar
dauran-e-safar ya manzil par
dauran-e-safar ya manzil par
gardish mein sitara na hota
hum chhod ke duniya chal dete
ye dard jo pyara na hota
hum chhod ke duniya chal dete

If memory were not my anchor,
I'd have departed this world's shore.
If this beloved ache weren't near,
I'd have departed, shedding more.

A shattered heart, broken dreams,
A trust you placed, I still hold dear.
A shattered heart, broken dreams,
A trust you placed, year after year.
A trust you placed, always near.
If this heart weren't yours to keep,
I'd have departed, lulled to sleep.
If memory were not my anchor,
I'd have departed, secrets to reap.

Perhaps my life might serve your need,
My soul, my love, my dearest one.
Perhaps my life might serve your need,
My soul, my love, beneath the sun.
My soul, my love, the race is run.
If fate's command weren't holding me,
I'd have departed, wild and free.
If memory were not my anchor,
I'd have departed, finally.

Where it stops, no one can say,
In journey's course, or nearing end.
In journey's course, or nearing end.
If my star's bright dance wouldn't sway,
I'd have departed, heaven sent.
If memory were not my anchor,
I'd have departed, heaven bent.
