baad muddat unhe dekh kar yun laga
jaise betaab dil ko karaar aa gaya
baad muddat unhe dekh kar yun laga
jaise betaab dil ko karaar aa gaya
aarzuon ke gul muskuraane lage
jaise gulshan mein jaan-e-bahaar aa gaya

tishna nazaren mili shokh nazaron se jab
may barasne lagi jaam bharne lage
tishna nazaren mili shokh nazaron se jab
may barasne lagi jaam bharne lage
sakiyaa aaj teri zarurat nahi
bin piye bin pilaaye khumaar aa gaya
baad muddat unhe dekh kar yun laga
jaise betaab dil ko karaar aa gaya

raat sone lage subah hone lagi
shamma bujhne lagi dil machalne lage
raat sone lage subah hone lagi
shamma bujhne lagi dil machalne lage
waqt ki raushni mein nahaai hui
zindagi pe ajab saa nikhaar aa gaya
baad muddat unhe dekh kar yun laga
jaise betaab dil ko karaar aa gaya

har taraf mastiyaan har taraf dilkashi
muskuraate dilo mein khushi hi khushi
har taraf mastiyaan har taraf dilkashi
muskuraate dilo mein khushi hi khushi
kitna chaha magar phir bhi uth na saka
teri mahfil mein jo ek baar aa gaya
baad muddat unhe dekh kar yun laga
jaise betaab dil ko karaar aa gaya
jaise betaab dil ko karaar aa gaya
jaise betaab dil ko karaar aa gaya

After so long, to gaze upon that face,
As if my restless heart found its peace,
After so long, to gaze upon that face,
As if my restless heart found its peace,
Desires blossomed, smiling bright,
As if spring's soul graced the garden's space.

Thirsty eyes met eyes of playful grace,
As wine began to flow, and goblets filled,
Thirsty eyes met eyes of playful grace,
As wine began to flow, and goblets filled,
No need for the cupbearer this night,
Intoxication came, unbidden, un-quilled,
After so long, to gaze upon that face,
As if my restless heart found its peace.

Night began to sleep, the dawn drew near,
The candles dimmed, and hearts began to yearn,
Night began to sleep, the dawn drew near,
The candles dimmed, and hearts began to yearn,
Bathed in the light of passing time,
When life's true beauty did return,
After so long, to gaze upon that face,
As if my restless heart found its peace.

Everywhere ecstasy, a captivating scene,
Smiling hearts, brimming with delight,
Everywhere ecstasy, a captivating scene,
Smiling hearts, brimming with delight,
I tried to rise, but could not flee,
Once I entered your gathering's light,
After so long, to gaze upon that face,
As if my restless heart found its peace,
As if my restless heart found its peace,
As if my restless heart found its peace.
