are zalim na tu hamse khafa hota
to kya hota
are zalim na tu hamse khafa hota
to kya hota
gale milke hamara ho gaya hota
to kya hota

nazar ke jaam pee lete
ghadi bhar ham bhi jee lete
nazar ke jaam
nazar ke jaam pee lete
ghadi bhar ham bhi jee lete
ham bhi jee lete
jo ikarar mohabbat kar liya hota
to kya hota
are zalim na tu hamse khafa hota
to kya hota

tere kuchh bhi na kahne par
tujhi pe jaan dete hain
jaan dete hain
agar kuchh muskurakar kah diya hota
to kya hota
gale milkar hamara ho gaya hota
to kya hota

rulakar mere ashqo ko tamasha dekhne wale
rulakar mere ashqo ko tamasha dekhne wale
dekhne wale
ye aasu teri palko se gira hota
to kya hota
are zalim na tu hamse khafa hota
to kya hota
gale milkar hamara ho gaya hota
to kya hota

Oh, cruel one, had you not been estranged,
What then?
Had you not kept your distance from me,
What then?
Embraced, become one with my heart,
What then?

From the chalice of your gaze, we'd drink,
For a fleeting hour, we'd truly live,
From the chalice of your gaze, we'd drink,
For a fleeting hour, we'd truly live,
Truly live.
Had love’s confession been uttered,
What then?
Oh, cruel one, had you not been estranged,
What then?

Even in your silence, I lay my soul at your feet,
My life I’d surrender for you.
If a smile had graced your lips,
What then?
Embraced, become one with my heart,
What then?

You, who watch my tears, finding delight,
You, who watch my tears, finding delight,
Finding delight.
If those tears had fallen from your lashes,
What then?
Oh, cruel one, had you not been estranged,
What then?
Embraced, become one with my heart,
What then?
