kab yaad mein tera sath nahi
kab yaad mein tera sath nahi
kab hath mein tera hath nahi
sad-shuqr ke apni raato mein
sad-shuqr ke apni raato mein
ab hizr ki koi raat nahi
sad-shuqr ke apni raato mein
ab hizr ki koi raat nahi

maidaan-e-wafa darabaar nahi
ya naam-o-natab ki puchh kaha
maidaan-e-wafa darabaar nahi
ya naam-o-natab ki puchh kaha
aashiq to kisi ka naam nahi
aashiq to kisi ka naam nahi
kuchh ishq kisi ki zaat nahi
aashiq to kisi ka naam nahi
kuchh ishq kisi ki zaat nahi
kab yaad mein tera saath nahi
kab hath mein tera hath nahi

jis dhaj se koyi maqatal mein gaya
wo shaan salamat rahti hai
jis dhaj se koyi maqatal mein gaya
wo shaan salamat rahti hai
ye jaan to aani-jaani hai
is jaan ki to koyi baat nahi
ye jaan to aani-jaani hai
is jaan ki to koi baat nahi
kab yaad mein tera saath nahi
kab haath mein tera haath nahi

gar baazi ishq ki baazi hai
jo chahe laga do dar kaisa
gar baazi ishq ki baazi hai
jo chahe laga do dar kaisa
gar jeet gaye to kya kahna
gar jeet gaye to kya kahna
gar jeet gaye to kya kahna
haare bhi to baazi maat nahi
kab yaad mein tera sath nahi
kab hath mein tera hath nahi
sad-shuqr ke apni rato mein
ab hizr ki koi raat nahi

When does your memory not enfold me?
When does your hand not hold mine?
Thanks be to nights, our own,
Thanks be, no night of separation now.

The field of devotion, no court it knows,
Nor does it seek renown or lineage.
The lover, nameless, does not claim,
Love knows no caste, no bounded place.
When does your memory not enfold me?
When does your hand not hold mine?

The grace with which one goes to the slaughter,
That glory remains, serene and true.
This life is fleeting, here today, gone tomorrow,
This life holds no true worth.
When does your memory not enfold me?
When does your hand not hold mine?

If the game is love, the only game,
Then stake all you have, fear not the loss.
If we win, what joy to celebrate!
If we lose, then know it is no defeat.
When does your memory not enfold me?
When does your hand not hold mine?
Thanks be to nights, our own,
No night of separation now.
