dil dhakane ka sabab aaya aaya yaad aaya
wo teri raah thi aaya
dil dhakane ka sabab aaya aaya yaad aaya

haale dil hum bhi suna de lekin
jab ruksaad huye tab aaya yaad aaya
wo teri raah thi aaya
dil dhakane ka sabab aaya aaya yaad aaya

baith kara saya gulme nasir hum bahut roye
wo jab aaya yaad aaya
wo teri raah thi aaya
dil dhakane ka sabab aaya aaya yaad aaya

A reason for the heart's quickening, it came, it came, remembered,
That sigh of yours, it came.
A reason for the heart's quickening, it came, it came, remembered.

We too would speak the heart's tale, but then,
When you turned your face, it came, remembered.
That memory of you, it came.
A reason for the heart's quickening, it came, it came, remembered.

Sitting beneath Nasir's rose, we wept so much,
When that moment came, remembered.
That memory of you, it came.
A reason for the heart's quickening, it came, it came, remembered.
