ae nigah-e-yar ae ae nigah-e-yar
tera shukriya tera shukriya kar diya bimar
kar diya bimar tera shukriya shukriya
ae nigah-e-yar
lutne wale mera sabr aur karar
lutne wale mera sabr aur karar
shukriya tera sau bar shukriya shukriya
ae nigah-e-yar

tu hi meri bekashi ka dost hai
tu hi meri bekashi ka dost hai
ae khyale yar ae khyale yar
tera shukriya shukriya ae nigah-e-yar
jindagi ban jata jo tune barbad ki
ishq ka aabhar tera shukriya shukriya
ae nigah-e-yar

O, gaze of the beloved, O, gaze of the beloved,
My thanks, my thanks, you made me ill,
Made me ill, my thanks, my thanks.
O, gaze of the beloved,
Plundered my patience, my peace,
Plundered my patience, my peace.
My thanks a hundredfold, my thanks, my thanks,
O, gaze of the beloved.

You, alone, are friend to my exile,
You, alone, are friend to my exile.
O, thought of the beloved, O, thought of the beloved,
My thanks, my thanks, O, gaze of the beloved.
Life transformed, though you destroyed it,
Love's gratitude, my thanks, my thanks,
O, gaze of the beloved.
