pyas kuch aur bhi bhadka di jhalak dikhla ke
tujhko parda ruke roshan se hatana hoga
chand me noor na taaro me chamak baki hai
ye andhera meri duniya ka mitana hoga

hai mujhe hizr ki raato me jagane wale
ja kabhi nind judai me na ayegi tujhe
subah tapkegi teri ankh se ansu banke
raat seene ki kasak banke jagayegi tujhe
tujhko parda rukhe roshan se hatana hoga
ye andhera meri duniya ka mitana hoga

koi arma hai na hasrat hai na umeed hain
ab mere dil me mohbbat ke siwa kuch bhi nahi
ye mukadar ki kharabi ye zamane ka sitam
bewafa teri inayat ke siwa kuch bhi nahi
tujhko parda rukhe roshan se hatana hoga
ye andhera meri duniya ka mitana hoga
pyas kuch aur bhi bhadka di jhalak dikhla ke
tujhko parda rukhe roshan se hatana hoga
chand me nur na taaro me chamak baki hai
ye andhera meri duniya ka mitana hoga

A glimpse, and thirst, it stoked, a fire unseen,
For you, the veil of light; no star now gleams,
No moon holds light; the stars, their brilliance, gone.
This darkness, from my world, must now be weaned.

You, who kept me awake in separation's night,
May sleep in absence never come to you,
The dawn will trickle down, a tear-soaked stream,
The night, a heart's ache, will awaken you.
From your radiant face, the veil must be removed,
This darkness, from my world, must now be weaned.

No wish remains, no longing, nor a hope,
Within my heart, but love, and love alone,
This fate's cruel twist, the world's harsh decree,
But faithless grace, from you, and you alone.
From your radiant face, the veil must be removed,
This darkness, from my world, must now be weaned.
A glimpse, and thirst, it stoked, a fire unseen,
For you, the veil of light; no star now gleams,
No moon holds light; the stars, their brilliance, gone.
This darkness, from my world, must now be weaned.
