phir vohi shaam vahi gam vahi tanahaai hai
dil ko samajhaane teri yaad chali aai hai

phir tasavvur tere pahalu me bithaa jaaegaa
phir gayaa vaqt ghadi bhar ko palat aaegaa
dil bahal jaaegaa aakhir ye to saudaai hai
phir vohi shaam

jaane ab tujh se mulaaqaat kabhi ho ke na ho
jo adhuri rahe vo baat kabhi ho ke na ho
meri mazil teri mazil se bichhad aai hai
phir vohi shaam

phir tere zulf ke rukhasaar ki baate hogi
hijr ki raat magar pyaar ki baate hogi
phir muhabbat me tadapane ki qasam khaai hai
phir vohi shaam

The same dusk descends, the same grief, the same lone hour,
My heart, to comfort it, your memory finds its power.

Then your image, beside me, will softly reside,
Then time, for a moment, will turn back its stride.
My heart will be soothed, a mad thing, wild and free,
The same dusk...

Who knows if an encounter with you will arise,
If the unfinished words will ever reach my eyes?
My path and your path, alas, have drifted apart,
The same dusk...

Then your tresses, your cheeks, will whisper their lore,
The night of separation, love’s whispers will pour.
In love’s fiery torment, the oath I now swear,
The same dusk...
