ye mohabbat kaa taqaazaa thaa hu_aa tu jo shahid
kyun na khush hun ke meri puri hu_i aaj ummid
jaan to hans ke liye jaan ko khone waale -2
dekh majabur khade hai tere rone waale
dete du_aa tak bhi nahi ahal-e-watan dekhataa jaa
jaanewaale

muskaraataa hu_aa kis shaan se aayaa hai tu
gayaa to wo khushi kaa ko_i laayaa hai tu
jaanisaari me teri dulhaa banaayaa hai tu
mujhako rulaa gayaa jo khun me nahaayaa hai tu
dete hai ham tujhe ragin qafan dekhataa jaa

O traveler,
as you go, glance at the world's way,
twice.
Behold, without your gaze, the garden's state.
O traveler.

This was love's demand, you, a martyr made.
Why not rejoice, my hope fulfilled today?
You who laughed and gave life, who lost your soul,
twice.
See those forced to stand and weep for you.
Even a prayer, the homeland withholds, behold,
O traveler.

Smiling, in what glory you arrived,
Departed, bringing joy, you contrived.
In sacrifice, a groom you were made,
You left me weeping, in blood arrayed.
We give you now a colorful shroud, behold,
O traveler, twice.
