phir se dil dukhane ye rat aayi
teri yade ye sath layi
aasu banke aankho me chayi
aankhe subah tak so na payi
yad mujhe na aa dil tadpane na aa
jaa tu mujhe na kabhi yad aa
tu mere jane ke baad aa

tare aasma pe kyu jhilmilaye
chayi kyu hai kali ghataye
chalti kyu hai thandi hawaye
yade teri bhi kyu sataye
yad mujhe na aa dil tadpane na aa
phir kyu yad aaye gujre jamane
masti ke wo lamhe suhane
chahat ke wo pyare tarane
hale dil tu mera na jane
yaad mujhe na aa dil tadpane na aa
ja tu mujhe na kabhi yad aa
tu mere jane ke bad aa

phir se dil dukhane ye rat aayi
teri yade ye sath layi
aasu banke aankho me chayi
aankhe subah tak so na payi
yad mujhe na aa dil tadpane na aa

Again, the night descends, a heart's lament,
Your memories, a haunting testament.
Tears, a deluge, in my eyes reside,
Sleep evades, until the morning's tide.
Do not return, to wound my aching core,
Depart, and haunt my soul no more.
Come not to me, but after I am gone.

Why do stars in the heavens shimmer and gleam?
Why do dark clouds gather, a sorrowful dream?
Why does a chill wind whisper and roam?
Why do your memories still seek my home?
Do not return, to wound my aching core,
Why recall the days of yore?
The joyous moments, the sweet embrace,
Love's tender songs, I can't replace.
You know not the ache within my breast,
Do not return, to put my heart to the test.
Depart, and haunt my soul no more.
Come not to me, but after I am gone.

Again, the night descends, a heart's lament,
Your memories, a haunting testament.
Tears, a deluge, in my eyes reside,
Sleep evades, until the morning's tide.
Do not return, to wound my aching core.
