is ishq-o-muhobbat ki kuch hai ajib rasme
kabhi jine ke vade kabhi marne ki kasme
na ye tere bas me na ye mere bas me
kabhi jine ke vade kabhi marne ki kasme

kabhi itazaar karate barsat ki raato me
kabhi raat guzar jaae baato hi bato me
ek dard machaltaa hai is dil ki nas nas me
kabhi jine ke vaade kabhi marne ki kasme

agar hamko juda kar de ek baar jahaa ke sitam
har baar janam lekar har baar milege ham
yu ahad-e-vafa kar le aa milkar aapas me
kabhi jine ke vade kabhi marne ki kasme

main teri mohabbat me har rasm nibha dunga
apni ninde dekar tere khvab saja dunga
aisaa hi hota hai jab dil na rahe bas me
kabhi jine ke vade kabhi marne ki kasme

In love's strange dance, a peculiar decree,
Promises of life, vows of death we see.
Neither in your grasp, nor mine to claim,
Promises of life, vows of death the same.

In rainy nights, anticipation's hold,
As hours pass, stories unfold.
A pain that stirs in every vein's recess,
Promises of life, vows of death, no less.

If worldly woes should tear us far apart,
Each birth anew, we'll find each other's heart.
Let's pledge such faith, with joined embrace,
Promises of life, vows of death's space.

In your love's name, each custom I will keep,
My sleep I'll give, your dreams to steep.
Thus it unfolds, when hearts no longer heed,
Promises of life, vows of death indeed.
