kuch chehre jaane se jane pehchane se
koi dhundle se nishan jaise koi karwa
yadon ke bhawar se mujhko de sada
rato ko cheerti wo juno ko teergi
wo mithi si kasak wo sach tha ya ke shak
wo jismo ke dariya me jhumke ki girti khanak

kuch chehre jaane se jane pehchane se
na bhul chuka na bhul saka tujhe
ik tuta sa aaina chubhan jo jae na
ik aag si barish me kuch mausam ruthe se
ik pyasi nadi jaise sagar ke tat pe thame
ye kaisi dhun baje mujhe pagal jo kare
jaise koi dewana tufan me sur bhare
to bhi rato me chede tarane wo deewane se
gaye mausam pyar ke lamhe intezar ke
na bhul chuka na bhul saka tujhe

Familiar faces fade from sight,
Leaving whispers, a blurred, faint light.
Like echoes of a caravan's trek,
Memories' vortex, a constant beck.
Piercing the night, passion's dark flight,
The sweet ache, truth or a doubtful plight?
The jingle of earrings in bodies' sea,
A fleeting sound, haunting me.

Familiar faces, as they depart,
I cannot forget you, nor erase from my heart.
A shattered mirror, a lingering sting,
A fire-like rain, where seasons took wing.
Like a thirsty river, paused on the shore,
A melody plays, driving me to the core.
Like a madman singing in a storm's roar,
He still plays his tunes throughout the night, evermore.
The gone seasons of love, moments of wait,
I cannot forget you, sealed by fate.
