tha intzar jiska woh rat aa gayi hain
dulha miya kaha hain barat aa gayi hain
uljhe huye hai sahib uljhan ko dhundhate hain
mehfil me dosto ke dushman ko dhundhate hain

nashe ka jhonka hai woh najar kaa dhokha hai woh
hujur ayega woh jarur ayega woh
magar woh naa ansu kaa ho yaha
kisi pe kya hai yakin kahi woh mai toh nahi, kuch aitbar nahi
kahi janab ko mera toh intzar nahi

najar udas hain kyun labo pe pyas hain kyun
najar udas hain kyun labo pe pyas hain kyun
uthao jam piyo usi ke nam piyo
gujarne do yeh ghadi badi hain rat padi
gujarne do yeh ghadi badi hain rat padi
ke thodi der me woh kahega aake suno, tumhe karar nahi
kahi janab ko mera toh intzar nahi

yeh amir aur garib jara se aaye karib
yeh amir aur garib jara se aaye karib
toh koyi bat bane meri barat bane
yahi toh soch ke ha mai aa gaya hu yahan
yeh meri bhul sahi galat asul sahi, mai sharmasar nahi
kahi janab ko mera toh intzar nahi

mera jo hal hai abb kiya hai tumne yeh sab
tumhara kam hai yeh ke intekam hai yeh
diya hai tumne mujhe wahi mai dungi tujhe, yahi hai mera
khija hai nam mera ke mai bahar nahi
kahee janab ko mera toh intzar nahi
kisi pe kya hai yakin kahee woh mai toh nahi, kuch aitbar nahi
kahee janab ko mera toh intzar nahi

The night of longing, it has finally arrived,
The groom, they call, the wedding train has thrived.
Lost in a maze, the master seeks,
Amongst friends, the foe he sleekly seeks.

A drunken gust, a deceptive gaze,
He will arrive, in these bewitched days.
But will he come in tears’ embrace?
On whom to trust in this lonely space?
Could it be me? No trust to find,
Does he wait for me, of a doubtful mind?

Why is the gaze so bleak, why the thirst on the lip?
Why is the gaze so bleak, why the thirst on the lip?
Lift up the cup, drink in his name, sip.
Let this moment pass, the long night descends,
Let this moment pass, the long night descends.
For soon he will say, listen, you find no peace,
Does he wait for me, will my longing cease?

Let the rich and the poor draw near,
Let the rich and the poor draw near.
Then a story unfolds, my wedding will appear.
Thinking just this, I have arrived,
My mistake, my fault, the rules defied, I am not ashamed.
Does he wait for me? My heart is now claimed.

The state I am in, is it all done by you?
Is it your work, or vengeance it’s true?
You gave to me, the same I give to thee,
This is my essence, my name is the sea.
Does he wait for me, eternally?
On whom to trust in this lonely space?
Could it be me? No trust to find,
Does he wait for me, of a doubtful mind?
