kisne mujhe chauka diya
bhule hue ek naam se
fir dard ke shole uthe
dil jal raha hai sham se
hai sham se, hai sham se
kisne mujhe chauka diya
bhule hue ek naam se

sukhe huye ghav kabhi
fir se hare ho gaye
banke sada ye aaj fir
nagme mere kho gaye
dar ne laga ke anjam se, anjam se
kisne mujhe chauka diya
bhule hue ek naam se

roshan huye bujh bhi gaye
meri aarju ke deeye
aakhir meri aankhe lahu
roti hai kiske liye
puchhe koi mere dil-e-nakam se
nakam se
kisne mujhe chauka diya
bhule hue ek naam se

Who startled me,
With a name long lost,
Then flames of pain,
From dusk, my heart crossed.
From dusk, from dusk,
Who startled me,
With a name long lost?

Wounds long dry,
Once again green they grow,
Becoming echoes now,
My melodies go.
Fear grips the end, the end,
Who startled me,
With a name long lost?

My heart's lamps,
Brightened then dimmed,
For whom then do,
My eyes weep, brimmed?
Ask my failing heart,
Failing heart,
Who startled me,
With a name long lost?
