na aankho me aansu na hotho pe haye
magar ek muddat hui muskuraye
na aankho me aansu na hotho pe haye
magar ek muddat hui muskuraye

ye ek boond aansu jo aankho me aaya
aankho me aaya
ye ek boond aansu jo aankho me aaya
aankho me aaya
kahi ye bhi girkar na haahto se jaye
kahi ye bhi girkar na haatho se jaye

mila chain ab bhi na barbad hokar
barbad hokar, mila chain ab bhi
na barbad hokar, barbad hokar
jo dil jal raha ho, wo kya chain paye
jo dil jal raha ho, wo kya chain paye

raha zindagi ka andhera salamat
andhera salamat, raha zindagi ka
andhera salamat, andhera salamat
jo dil bujh chuka ho, wo kya jagmagaye
jo dil bujh chuka ho, wo kya jagmagaye

No tear in the eye, no sigh on the lip,
Yet, an age has passed since a smile could slip.
No tear in the eye, no sigh on the lip,
Yet, an age has passed since a smile could slip.

This single tear, that in the eye did gleam,
In the eye did gleam,
This single tear, that in the eye did gleam,
In the eye did gleam,
Lest it too should fall, escape my dream.
Lest it too should fall, escape my dream.

No peace is found, though ruin's hand has played,
Ruin's hand has played, no peace is found.
Though ruin's hand has played, ruin's hand has played,
A heart aflame, how could it be swayed?
A heart aflame, how could it be swayed?

The shadows of life, they still remain,
They still remain, the shadows of life.
They still remain, the shadows of life,
A heart extinguished, how can it gain?
A heart extinguished, how can it gain?
