aansu ki ek bund hu mai
jo aankho se chalak gayi
janam janam ka sathi chhuta
pyasi ruh bhatak gayi
aansu ki ek bund hu mai

jalti hui saanso me jo
sulge hue nagme pale
jab tu najar aaya mujhe
aaho me wo nagme dhale
tufa utha palko tale
aansu ki ek bund hu mai

phir raat ki julfe khuli
jalne lage jakhme jigar
dil ko sukun mil jaye jo
rakh du tere kadmo pe sar
ae hamnashi ae humsafar
aansu ki ek bund hu mai
jo aankho se chalak gayi
janam janam ka sathi chuta
pyasi ruh bhatak gayi
aansu ki ek bund hu mai

A teardrop am I, a solitary sphere,
That spilled forth from eyes, consumed by fear.
A companion lost, across the ages' span,
A thirsty soul, adrift, where life began.
A teardrop am I.

Within the burning breaths, a fragile tune,
A melody of embers, played too soon.
When you appeared, a vision in the light,
The sighs transformed, dissolving in the night.
A tempest stirred, beneath the veiled sight.
A teardrop am I.

Then night's dark tresses loosened, free and wide,
And wounds of the heart began to confide.
If solace could be found, a moment's grace,
My head would bow, before your sacred space.
O confidant, my journey to embrace,
A teardrop am I,
That spilled forth from eyes, consumed by fear.
A companion lost, across the ages' span,
A thirsty soul, adrift, where life began.
A teardrop am I.
