bhari duniyaa me aakhir dil ko samajhaane kahaan jaae
muhabbat ho ga_i jinako vo divaane kahaan jaae

lage hai shammaa par pahare zamaane ki nigaaho ke
jinhe jalane ki hasarat hai vo paravaane kahaan jaae

sunaanaa bhi jinhe mushkil chhupaanaa bhi jinhe mushkil
zaraa tu hi bataa ai dil vo afasaane kahaan jaae

In a world brimming, where does the heart find solace,
When love has struck, where do the mad ones go?

The flame is guarded, by eyes of this age,
Those longing to burn, where do the moths then flee?

To tell, so hard, to hide, a greater plight,
Tell me, O heart, where do these tales take flight?
