mujhe dekho hasrat ki taswir hu mai
mujhe dekho hasrat ki taswir hu mai
jo ban ban ke bigdi wo takdir hu mai
mujhe dekho hasrat ki taswir hu mai

gira jo zami par mai hu ek wo aasu
mai hu ek wo aasu
gira jo zami par mai hu ek wo aasu
mai hu ek wo aasu
mili khak me aisi tadbir hu mai
jo ban ban ke bigdi wo takdir hu mai
mujhe dekho hasrat ki taswir hu mai

nahaya hua hu khud apne lahu me
khud apne lahu me
nahaya hua hu khud apne lahu me
khud apne lahu me
magar fir bhi berang taswir hu mai
jo ban ban ke bigdi wo takdir hu mai
mujhe dekho hasrat ki taswir hu mai

chala mai toh ahl-ae-watan khush raho tum
raho khus raho tum
chala mai toh ahl-ae-watan khush raho tum
raho khus raho tum
na mai tha nishane pe wo teer hu mai
jo ban ban ke bigdi wo takdir hu mai
mujhe dekho hasrat ki taswir hu mai

Behold, I am the portrait of longing,
Behold, I am the portrait of longing,
Of a destiny, forever undone, belonging.
Behold, I am the portrait of longing.

I am the tear that falls to earth,
I am the tear,
I am the tear that falls to earth,
I am the tear,
A plan that dissolves in dust, from its birth.
Of a destiny, forever undone, belonging.
Behold, I am the portrait of longing.

I am bathed in my own crimson tide,
In my own tide,
I am bathed in my own crimson tide,
In my own tide,
Yet a colorless portrait, I can't hide.
Of a destiny, forever undone, belonging.
Behold, I am the portrait of longing.

As I depart, may you, my homeland, be glad,
May you be glad,
As I depart, may you, my homeland, be glad,
May you be glad,
I am the arrow that never once had.
Of a destiny, forever undone, belonging.
Behold, I am the portrait of longing.
