kabhi neki bhi uske jee me gar
aa jaye hai mujhse
kabhi neki bhi uske jee me gar
aa jaye hai mujhse
zafa-e-apni aap
sarmaa jaye hai mujhse
kabhi neki bhi uske jee me gar
aa jaye hai mujhse, kabhi neki bhi

khudaya zazba-e-dil ki magar
taseer ulti hai
khudaya zazba-e-dil ki magar
taseer ulti hai
ki jitna khinchta hua
khinchta jaye hain mujhse
kabhi neki bhi uske jee me gar
aa jaye hai mujhse, kabhi neki bhi

sambhalne de mujhe ae na ummidi
kya qayamat hai
sambhalne de mujhe ae na ummidi
kya qayamat hai
ki daman-e-khyal yaar
chhuto jaye hai mujhse
kabhi neki bhi uske jee me gar
aa jaye hai mujhse, kabhi neki bhi

qayamat hai ki hove muddai
humsafar gaalib
qayamat hai ki hove muddai
humsafar gaalib
mauka fir jo khuda kabhi na
saupa jaye hai mujhse
kabhi neki bhi uske jee me gar
aa jaye hai mujhse, kabhi neki bhi

Sometimes, kindness stirs within her breast,
A fleeting grace I dare not claim.
Then, shamed by cruelty, she turns,
Ashamed, and shrinks away from me, the same.

O God, the heart's strange, perverse decree,
Its power flows in reverse, it seems.
The more I yearn, the more she flees,
And slips away in broken dreams.

Let me recover, hope's despair,
A torment that I can't escape.
The hem of love, the thought of her,
Forever lost, a fading shape.

A final blow, a mournful end,
When rivals walk the path I tread.
The chance of grace, a fleeting friend,
Forever lost, and never said.
