koyi jo mila to mujhe aisa lagta tha
jaise meri sari duniya me geeto ki rut
aur rango ki barkha hai, khushbu ki aandhi hai
mahki huyi si ab sari fijaye hain
bahki huyi si ab sari hawaye hain
khoyi huyi si ab sari dishaye hain
badli huyi si ab sari adaye hain
jaagi umange hain, dhadak raha hai dil
saanso me tufan hain, hontho pe nagme hain
aankho me sapne hain, sapno me beete huye
sare wo lamhe hain

jab koyi aaya tha, najro pe chhaya tha
dil me samaya tha, kaise mai batau tumhe
kaisa use paya tha, pyar se chehre pe bikhri jo julfe
to aisa lagta tha, jaise kohre ke pichhe
ek os me dhula huwa, phul khila hai jaise
badal me ek chand chhupa hai
aur jhank raha hai, jaise raat ke parde me
ek savera hai, roshan roshan aankho me
sapno ka sagar, jisme prem sitaro ki chadar
jaise jhalak rahi hai

lahro lahro baat kare, to jaise moti barse
jaise kahin chandi ki payal gunje
jaise kahin shishe ke jaam gire
aur chhann se tute, jaise koyi chhip ke sitar bajaye
jaise koyi chandni raat me gaaye
jaise koyi haule se paas bulaye
kaisi mithi baate thi, wo kaisi mulakate thi
wo jab maine jana tha
najro se kaise pighalte hain dil
aur aarju pati hai kaise manjil
aur kaise utarta hai chand jami par
kaise kabhi lagta hai swarg agar hai
to bas hai yahi par

usne bataya mujhe, aur samjhaya mujhe
hum jo mile hain, hume aise hi milna tha
gul jo khile hain, unhe aise hi khilna tha
janmo ke bandhan, janmo ke rishte hain
jab bhi hum janme, to hum yunhi milte hain
kaano me mere jaise, shahd se ghulne lage
khwabo ke dar jaise, aankho me khulne lage
khwabo ki duniya bhi kitni hasi aur
kaisi rangin thi, khwabo ki duniya
jo kahne ko thi, par kahin bhi nahi thi
khwab jo tute mere, aankh jo khuli meri
hosh jo aaya mujhe
maine dekha, maine jana
wo jo kabhi aaya tha, najro pe chhaya tha
dil me samaya tha, ja bhi chuka hai
aur dil mera hai ab, tanha tanha
na to koyi armaa hai, na koyi tamanna hai
aur na koyi sapna hai
ab jo mere din aur ab jo meri raate hain
unme sirf aansu hain
unme sirf dard ki, ranj ki baate hain
aur fariyade hain
mera ab koyi nahi
mai hu, aur khoye huye pyar ki yaade hain
mai hu, aur khoye huye pyar ki yaade hain
mai hu, aur khoye huye pyar ki yaade hain

When you came, the world bloomed in song,
A monsoon of hues, a fragrant storm,
The air, now scented, swayed and spun,
The winds, now wild, their course begun.
All compass points, adrift, undone,
Each gesture changed, a new day won.
Hope awoke, the heart now beat,
A tempest in the breath, a song on lips,
Dreams in eyes, of moments fleet.

When you arrived, a shadow on my sight,
Enveloped my heart, I can't quite say,
How I had found you, in the light,
Your hair, across your face, did play,
Like dew-washed blooms, after the fray,
A moon behind the mist did stay,
Peeking from a night's dark stage,
A dawn within your eyes ablaze,
A sea of dreams, with love's bright page.

Like waves that speak, and pearls descend,
Like silver anklets, ringing clear,
Like crystal goblets, at the end,
Shattered with a clink of fear,
Like someone, secretly to hear,
A sitar plays, a song so dear,
Like a moonlit night, with voice so rare,
Like whispers soft, you drew me near,
What sweet words, what meetings there.
When I learned then, from your gaze,
How hearts melt down, in a daze,
How desire finds its destined space,
How the moon descends to this place,
How heaven, if it exists, is here.

You showed me, and you explained to me,
That our meeting was meant to be,
That blooms must open, wild and free,
That bonds of ages, we both could see,
When we are born, we meet, you and me.
Like honey dripped, into my ear,
Like doors to dreams, now drawing near,
How lovely, and how bright, I hear,
That dream's world, it was there, but never near,
My dream now shattered, my eyes did clear,
I knew when I awoke, when I did know,
That you, who came, in the light did glow,
And into my heart, did deeply go,
Have left, and now my heart is low.
No longing now, no wish to hold,
No dreams remain, this story told.
The days are just, and nights are too,
Filled only with tears, a mournful view.
With pain and sorrow, regrets anew,
Now I have none, but memories true,
Of lost love's hue.
