dhundhli dhundhli shaam huyi ab to wapas aa jao
dhundhli dhundhli shaam huyi ab to wapas aa jao
ke iss samay to parinde bhi laut aate hai
tumhare baad hamara haal aisa hai
ke jaise saaz ke sab taar toot jaate hai
ke iss samay to parinde bhi laut aate hai
dhundhli dhundhli shaam huyi

tum to gaye par yaad na gayi
zuban se meri fariyad na gayi
guzari na aisi koi saans
jis me tumhara naam na ho
tab tak karunga yaad me
jab tak umar tamam na ho
tumhare hath se mera hath yu chhuta
ke jaise bheed me kuch hath chhoot jate hai
ke iss samay to parinde bhi laut aate hai
dhundhli dhundhli shaam huyi ab to wapas aa jao

The twilight bleeds, a hazy, veiled embrace, return.
The twilight bleeds, a hazy, veiled embrace, return.
For even the birds now seek their haven's grace,
And homeward bound, their weary journeys yearn.
After your leaving, this is the plight I bear,
Like strings that snap, the melody undone,
For even the birds now seek their haven's care,
The twilight bleeds, and shadows overrun.

You departed, yet your memory remains,
From my tongue, no plea for you has flown.
No breath I draw escapes these mournful strains,
Where your dear name is not forever known.
Until my life's final and fading breath,
In memory’s keep, your essence shall reside.
Your hand slipped mine, a parting wrought by death,
Like hands adrift, lost in the surging tide.
For even the birds now seek their haven's grace,
The twilight bleeds, return to this empty space.
