gam badhe aate hain kaatil ki nigaaho ki tarah
tum chhupa lo mujhe, ae dost gunaaho ki tarah

apni nazro me gunahgaar na hote kyo kar
dil hi dushman hai mukhalif ke gawaho ki tarah

har taraf zist ki raaho me kadi dhup hai dost
har taraf zist ki raaho me kadi dhup hai dost
bas teri yaad ke saye hain panaaho ki tarah
tum chhupa lo mujhe, ae dost gunaaho ki tarah

jinke khaatir kabhi ilzaam uthaaye faakir
wo bhi pesh aaye hain inasaaf ke shaho ki tarah
gam badhe aate hain kaatil ki nigaaho ki tarah

Grief descends, a killer's gaze,
Friend, conceal me, in sin's maze.

Why wouldn't guilt stain our sight,
When the heart itself, the foe's witness, takes flight?

Life's paths ablaze, a scorching sun,
Yet, your memory, a shelter, the only one.
Friend, conceal me, in sin's maze.

For whom, once, accusations we bore,
They appear now, as justice's lords, wanting more.
Grief descends, a killer's gaze.
