phir mujhe dida-e-tar yaad aaya
phir mujhe dida-e-tar yaad aaya
dil jigar tishn-e-fariyaad aaya
dil jigar tishn-e-fariyaad

dam liya tha na qayamat ne hanoz
dam liya tha na qayamat ne hanoz
phir tera waqt-e-safar yaad aaya
phir tera waqt-e-safar

jindagi yu bhi gujar hi jaati
jindagi yu bhi gujar hi jaati
kyu tera raah-e-gujar yaad aaya
kyu tera raah-e-gujar

koi veerani si veerani hain
koi veerani si veerani hain
dasht ko dekhke ghar yaad aaya
dasht ko dekhke ghar yaad

maine majnu pe ladakpan mein asad
maine majnu pe ladakpan mein asad
sang uthaya tha ke sar yaad aaya
sang uthaya tha ke sar yaad

Again, the tear-filled eye returns,
Again, the tear-filled eye.
The heart, the liver, thirsty for a cry,
The heart, the liver, thirsty to cry.

Even Judgment held its breath,
Even Judgment held.
Then your hour of departure came to mind,
Then your time of flight.

Life would have passed regardless,
Life would have passed.
Why did your path, your passing, return to me?
Why your path, your passing?

A desolation, a vast emptiness,
A desolation, a deep void.
Seeing the desert, home is remembered,
Seeing the desert, home.

In childhood, I threw stones at Majnun, Asad,
In my youth, Asad.
I remembered the stone, and the head it struck,
The stone, and the head.
