ek pal tere bina dil na lage yaha
ek pal tere bina dil na lage yaha
kaise karu main tay lambi ye duriya
bekhabar bekadar sun jara dil ki sada

ae humsafar abhi tahaiyan meri
aati nahi nazar parchhaiyan meri
ae humsafar abhi tahaiyan meri
aati nahi nazar parchhaiyan meri
kaise kahu, dard-e-jigar hai mere
tu hi bata kaise jiyun bin tere

shikwa nahi koi, na tum se kuch gila
meri wafao ka bas thik hai sila
shikwa nahi koi, na tum se kuch gila
meri wafao ka bas thik hai sila
nadan jara sa main hi tha
anjaan teri jafa se main hi tha

ek pal tere bina dil na lage yaha
ek pal tere bina dil na lage yaha
kaise karu main tay lambi ye duriya
bekhabar bekadar sun jara dil ki sada

A moment without you, my heart cannot abide,
A moment without you, where can I hide?
How to traverse these vast, unending miles,
Unknowing, ungrateful, heed my heart's wails.

Oh, companion, now my solitudes remain,
My shadows unseen, lost in the rain.
Oh, companion, now my solitudes remain,
My shadows unseen, etched in pain.
How can I speak, the ache within my breast?
Tell me, how can I live without your rest?

No complaints I hold, nor grievances to impart,
My faithfulness rewarded, a brand upon my heart.
No complaints I hold, nor grievances to impart,
My faithfulness rewarded, torn apart.
A fool, a child, was I indeed,
Unknowing of the wounds your actions breed.

A moment without you, my heart cannot abide,
A moment without you, where can I hide?
How to traverse these vast, unending miles,
Unknowing, ungrateful, heed my heart's wails.
