aankh se door na ho dil se utar jayega
aankh se door na ho dil se utar jayega
waqt ka kya hai guzarta hai guzar jayega
aankh se door na ho dil se utar jayega

itna manoos na ho khilwat-e-gham se apni
itna manoos na ho khilwat-e-gham se apni
tu kabhi khud ko bhi dekhega to dar jayega
waqt ka kya hai guzarta hai guzar jayega
aankh se door na ho dil se utar jayega

tum sar-e-raah-e-wafa dekhte reh jaoge
tum sar-e-raah-e-wafa dekhte reh jaoge
aur woh baam-e-rifaqat se utar jayega
waqt ka kya hai guzarta hai guzar jayega
aankh se door na ho dil se utar jayega

zindagi teri ata hai to yeh jaane wala
zindagi teri ata hai to yeh jaane wala
teri bakhshish teri dahleez pe dhar jayega
waqt ka kya hai guzarta hai guzar jayega
aankh se door na ho dil se utar jayega

If you vanish from sight, you'll fade from the heart,
If you vanish from sight, you'll fade from the heart,
Time, a river, will flow and depart.
If you vanish from sight, you'll fade from the heart.

Do not despair in the chambers of sorrow,
Do not despair in the chambers of sorrow,
You, one day, will gaze, and fear will borrow.
Time, a river, will flow and depart.
If you vanish from sight, you'll fade from the heart.

You'll watch all the paths of loyalty's grace,
You'll watch all the paths of loyalty's grace,
As they step down from friendship's embrace.
Time, a river, will flow and depart.
If you vanish from sight, you'll fade from the heart.

Your life, a guest, arrives and then must flee,
Your life, a guest, arrives and then must flee,
At your threshold, it will finally be.
Time, a river, will flow and depart.
If you vanish from sight, you'll fade from the heart.
