mai har rat jagi ki is bar sayad
mohabbat tumhe is taraf khich laye
tumhari kasam tum bahut yad aaye
tumhari kasam tum bahut yad aaye
na pucho ye din hamne kaise bitaye
tumhari kasam tum bahut yad aaye

barasne lage ashk to kya nind aaye
barasne lage ashk to kya nind aaye
udhar kadke bijli idhar jan jaye
udhar kadke bijli idhar jan jaye
na pucho ye din hamne kaise bitaye
tumhari kasam tum bahut yad aaye

jara ek najar is taraf ab to dekho
jara ek najar is taraf ab to dekho
jamana hua hai hame muskuraye
jamana hua hai hame muskuraye
tumhari kasam tum bahut yad aaye
na pucho ye din hamne kaise bitaye
tumhari kasam tum bahut yad aaye

Each night I waked, a vigil kept, believing,
Love might draw your soul towards this shore,
By your oath, your memory’s a grieving,
By your oath, your presence evermore.
Ask not how these days have worn me through,
By your oath, your absence sees me sore.

When tears descend, can slumber find its way?
When tears descend, can slumber take its hold?
Lightning strikes without, life slips away,
Lightning strikes without, a story told.
Ask not how these days have worn me through,
By your oath, your absence leaves me cold.

Just a glance, a single look, I crave,
Just a glance, a single look, I plead,
Ages have passed since joy I gave,
Ages have passed, my heart now bleeds.
By your oath, your memory’s engraved,
Ask not how these days have sown the seed,
By your oath, your presence, I am saved.
