kismat to dekho humsafar
kismat to dekho humsafar
char kadam chale nahi
char kadam chale nahi
is tarah juda huye
ke aaj tak mile nahi
aaj tak mile nahi
kismat to dekho

dil ne to ki dua bahut
lekin na aa saki bahar
phul ummido ke mere
khilaye bhi khile nahi
khilaye bhi khile nahi
kismat to dekho

dil ne to chaha tha ki ab
kahde apna mazra
ulfat ne si diye aise lab
hilaye bhi hile nahi
hilaye bhi hile nahi
kismat to dekho

roshan thi jinse ye jami
roshan tha jinse aasman
yu gul hue mere chirag
jalaye bhi jale nahi
jalaye bhi jale nahi
kismat to dekho humsafar
char kadam chale nahi
is tarah juda huye
ke aaj talak mile nahi
kismat to dekho

Look at fate, my companion,
look at fate.
We walked but four steps,
only four.
Then parted ways,
never met again,
never met again.
Look at fate.

The heart prayed fervently,
but spring never arrived.
The flowers of my hopes,
bloomed not, nor unfurled,
bloomed not, nor unfurled.
Look at fate.

The heart longed to speak,
to tell its story.
Love stitched my lips so tight,
they moved not, nor parted,
moved not, nor parted.
Look at fate.

The earth glowed with their light,
the sky, too, with their gleam.
My lamps were extinguished,
though lit they were not,
though lit they were not.
Look at fate, my companion,
we walked but four steps,
Then parted ways,
never met again.
Look at fate.
