aaj dil dukha hai
tum yaad aaye
anjane log hai
apne kahan dhoond paaye

jaagey hai soye nahi
aisi hai meri ye bechaini
din bhi wahi raatein wahi
sanso mein sansein hai nahi

shaamein ab dhalti nahi
aanchal jo tera simat jaaye
aap yahan hamesha rahe
duri rahe na ho fasle

jaagey hai soye nahi
aisi hai meri ye bechaini
din bhi wohi raatein wohi
sanso mein sansein hai nahi
ho ho

ab ager tum mile to
itna ye yaqeen hai
hans deinge hum to
rona nahi hai

My heart aches today,
And you are what I recall.
Strangers surround me,
Where can I find my all?

Awake, yet sleep evades,
This unrest within me dwells.
The days are the same, nights too,
My breath, it barely swells.

Evenings now cease to fall,
Should your embrace enfold,
May you ever remain here,
No distance, story told.

Awake, yet sleep evades,
This unrest within me dwells.
The days are the same, nights too,
My breath, it barely swells.
Ho, ho.

If we meet once more,
This much I do believe:
We will only laugh then,
And no longer grieve.
