khushboo sa wo meri saason mein bas jaayega
ek nasha sa banke meri jindagi pe chhayega
karun intzaar, mera yaar kab aayega
yaadon mein wo rootha tha
khwaabon mein maan jaayega
bujh gayi hai shama, aake phir jalaayega
kab talak mere bin kaho usse raha jaayega
husn pe ho yakin to ishq dagmagaayega
karun intzaar, mera yaar kab aayega
wo julmi sitamgar kab pachhtaayega
yaadon mein wo rootha tha
khwaabon mein maan jaayega

aaja aaja o deewaane aaja
ek duje mein kho jaaye hum
duniya mein jitne ghum hai pyaare
hai sabse pyaara mohabbat ka gham
jindagi bewafa aaj hai kal nahi
raat jo dhal gayi, tum nahi aur hum bhi nahi
husn pe ho yakin to ishq dagmagaayega
karun intzaar, mera yaar kab aayega
wo julmi sitamgar kab pachhtaayega
yaadon mein wo rootha tha
khwaabon mein maan jaayega

Like a fragrance, he will settle in my breaths,
A captivating intoxication, he'll cast on my life's crest.
I wait, my beloved, when will he arrive?
In memories, he was angered,
In dreams, he'll concede and revive.
The lamps have dimmed, he will come and ignite again,
How long, without me, shall he remain?
If beauty is all you trust, love will falter and wane,
I wait, my beloved, when will he arrive?
That cruel tyrant, when will he repent his stain?
In memories, he was angered,
In dreams, he'll concede and regain.

Come, come, oh, my mad one, come near,
Let us lose ourselves, disappear.
In the world's sorrows, my dearest,
Love's sorrow is most treasured, held dear.
Life is faithless, today, then gone,
The night has passed, you gone, and we withdrawn.
If beauty is all you trust, love will falter and be withdrawn,
I wait, my beloved, when will he come on?
That cruel tyrant, when will he mourn?
In memories, he was angered,
In dreams, he'll concede, reborn.
