na uda yu thokaro se meri khak ke kabar jalim
ye hi ek rah gayi hain meri pyar ki nishani
tujhe pahle hi kaha tha
tujhe pahle hi kaha tha hain jahan saray pani
din-e-badnasib tune meri baat hi na mani
kabhi iltifa ke paiham, paiham
kabhi iltifa ke paiham kabhi mujh se badgumani
teri wo bhi meharbani
teri ye bhi meharbani

kuch yaadgare shehre sitamgar hi le chale
kuch yaadgare shehre sitamgar hi le chale
aaye hain is gali me toh patthar hi le chale
kuch yaadgare shehre sitamgar hi le chale

yu kis tarah katega kadi dhup ka safar, safar
yu kis tarah katega kadi dhup ka safar
sar par khayale yaar ki chadar hi le chale
sar par khayale yaar ki chadar hi le chale

ranje safar ki koi nishani to paas ho
s g ma p ga ma
sa re ga re ga
ni dha re ni re
m ga sa dha
ni pa dha ma
ga ma ga ma re sa sa dha pa
ranje safar ki koi nishani to paas ho
ranje safar ki koi nishani to paas ho
ranje safar ki koi nishani to paas ho
thodi si khak kucha dilbar hi le chale
aaye hain
aaye hain is gali me to patthar hi le chale
kuch yaadgare shehre sitamgar hi le chale

is shehre becharag me jayegi tu kahan, kahan, kahan
is shehre becharag me jayegi tu kahan
aa ae shabe firak tujhe ghar hi le chale
aaye hain
aaye hain is gali me toh patthar hi le chale
kuch yaadgare shehre sitamgar hi le chale

ye kah ke chhedti hain hume dil giraftagi
ye kah ke chhedti hain hume dil giraftagi
ghabra rahe hain aap to bahar hi le chale
aaye hain is gali me to patthar hi le chale
kuch yaadgare shehre sitamgar hi le chale

Do not, cruel one, kick up the dust of my grave,
For this alone remains, a relic of love's brave.
I told you, before,
I told you before, this world's but a transient wave.
O, ill-fated heart, you spurned my words, you did not save.
Sometimes with endless grace, grace,
Sometimes with doubt's dark stain.
Your kindness then,
Your cruelty now, a similar refrain.

Let us carry away some echoes of the city of pain,
Let us carry away some echoes of the city of pain.
Since we've come to this street, let us carry the stone's stain.
Let us carry away some echoes of the city of pain.

How will this journey fare beneath a sun's harsh reign?
How will this journey fare beneath a sun's harsh reign?
Let us bear the thought of love, a sheltering chain.
Let us bear the thought of love, a sheltering chain.

Let there be a trace of this journey's ache,
Sa ga ma pa ga ma
Sa re ga ma re ga
Ni dha re ni re
Ma ga sa dha
Ni pa dha ma
Ga ma ga ma re sa sa dha pa
Let there be a trace of this journey's ache.
Let there be a trace of this journey's ache.
Let there be a trace of this journey's ache,
A little dust from the beloved's lane, we take.
Since we've come
Since we've come to this street, let us carry the stone's stain.
Let us carry away some echoes of the city of pain.

In this city of no light, where will you go, go, go?
In this city of no light, where will you go?
O, night of separation, to your home we'll flow.
Since we've come
Since we've come to this street, let us carry the stone's flow.
Let us carry away some echoes of the city of pain.

The heart's captivity teases us with this plea,
The heart's captivity teases us with this plea.
You're restless, you see, let us take you to be free.
Since we've come to this street, let us carry the stone's decree.
Let us carry away some echoes of the city of pain.
