Jo Utar ke zeena-e-shaam se
Tere chashm-e-khush me samaa gaye..
Wohi Jalte Bujhte Se Mehar-O-Maah
Mere Baam-O-Dar Ko Sajaa Gaye
After descending from the staircase of dusk, In your parched eyes they were parked in
Those blazing snuffed-out sun and moon, Embellished my roof and door
Ye Ajeeb Khel Hai Ishq Ka
Main Ne Aap Dekhaa Ye Mojza
Wo Jo Lafz Mere Gumaan Mein The
Wo Teri Zubaan Par Aa Gaye
This is a strange play of love, I myself have witnessed this miracle
Those words that were in my thoughts, They came out of your tongue
Wo Ajeeb Phool Se Lafz The
Tere Honth Jin Se Mehak Uthe
Mere Dasht-E-Khwab Mein Door Tak
Koi Baagh Jaise Lagaa Gaye
Those were strange flower like words, The ones that perfumed your lips
In the wilderness of my dreams far beyond, Some garden as if bloomed away,
Meri Umr Se Na Simat Sake
Mere Dil Mein Itne Sawal The
Tere Paas Jitne Jawaab The
Teri Ek Nigaah Mein Aa Gaye
By my lifetime I could not gather, In my heart there were so many questions
But all the answers that you had, In your one gaze were revealed
