ho mere sanam tera khat mila khat me tune khat likhne ko likha
khat ke badle mai aa gayi khat ke badle mai aa gayi
ho mere sanam tera khat mila khat me tune khat likhne ko likha
khat se pehle mai aa gaya khat se pehle mai aa gaya

teri zudayi sah na saki mai teri zudayi sah na saki mai
tujhse mile bin rah na saki mai o tune kaha jo kah na saka mai
tune kaha jo kah na saka mai tujhse mile bin rah na saka mai
o is zor se dil dhadka mera khat me tune khat likhne ko likha
khat se pehle mai aa gaya khat se pehle mai aa gaya

aaya hawa ka har ek jhoka aaya hawa ka har ek jhoka
tera hi koi paigam leke o itni mohabbat mujhse na kar tu
arey itni mohabbat mujhse na kar tu mar jau mai tera naam leke
o rakhe salamat tujhko khuda khat me tune khat likhne ko likha
khat ke badle mai aa gayi khat ke badle mai aa gayi
o mere sanam tera khat mila khat me tune khat likhne ko likha
khat se pehle mai aa gaya khat ke badle mai aa gayi

My beloved, your letter arrived,
a request within, to pen a reply.
Instead of ink, I came to you,
instead of ink, I came.

My beloved, your letter arrived,
a request within, to pen a reply.
Before the words, I was there,
before the words, I arrived.

I could not bear your absence,
I could not bear, no, I could not.
Unable to live without you,
what you couldn't say, I knew.
Unable to live without you,
what you couldn't say, I knew.
My heart pounded with such force,
a request within, to pen a reply.
Before the words, I was there,
before the words, I arrived.

Each gust of wind arrived,
each gust, a messenger of you.
Oh, love me not so deeply,
oh, love me not, lest I die,
whispering your name.
May God keep you safe, always,
a request within, to pen a reply.
Before the words, I was there,
before the words, I arrived.

My beloved, your letter arrived,
a request within, to pen a reply.
Before the words, I was there,
before the words, I arrived.
