dil dhundhta hai fir wahi fursat ke raat din
dil dhundhta hai fir wahi fursat ke raat din
baithe rahe tasawwure jana kiye huye
dil dhundhta hai fir wahi fursat ke raat din

jaddo ki narm dhup aur aangan me let kar
jaddo ki narm dhup aur aangan me let kar
aankho pe khinch kar tere aanchal ke saye ko
aaundhe pade rahe kabhi karwat liye huye
dil dhundhta hai fir wahi fursat ke raat din

ya garmiyo ki raat jo purwayiya chale
ya garmiyo ki raat jo purwayiya chale
thandi safed chadro pe jage der tak
taro ko dekhte rahe chhat par pade huye
dil dhundhta hai fir wahi fursat ke raat din

barfili sardiyo me kisi bhi pahad par
barfili sardiyo me kisi bhi pahad par
wadi me gunjti hui, khamoshiya sune
aankho me bhige bhige se lamhe liye huye
dil dhundhta hai fir wahi fursat ke raat din
dil dhundhta hai fir wahi fursat ke raat din
baithe rahe tasawwure jana kiye huye
dil dhundhta hai fir wahi fursat ke raat din

The heart still seeks those nights and days of ease,
The heart still seeks those nights and days of ease,
Lost in your image, in quiet reverie,
The heart still seeks those nights and days of ease.

Soft winter sun, upon the courtyard's grace,
Soft winter sun, upon the courtyard's grace,
Drawn down across the eyes, your veil's embrace,
We lay, still, ever in a turning space,
The heart still seeks those nights and days of ease.

Or summer nights when breezes softly flow,
Or summer nights when breezes softly flow,
Awake for hours on sheets of purest snow,
Gazing at stars, where shadows ebb and grow,
The heart still seeks those nights and days of ease.

In icy winters, on mountains high,
In icy winters, on mountains high,
Listening to silence, echoing nearby,
With tear-filled eyes, where memories lie,
The heart still seeks those nights and days of ease,
The heart still seeks those nights and days of ease,
Lost in your image, in quiet reverie,
The heart still seeks those nights and days of ease.
