raat bhar dida-e-namnar me lahrate rahe
saans ki tarah se aap aate rahe jate rahe

khush the hum apni tamannao ka khwab aayega
apna arman barf gand nakab aayega
aa gayi thi dile mujtar me shikebai si
baj rahi thi mere gham khane me shehnai si

shab ke jaage huye taaro ko bhi nind aane lagi
aapke aane ki ek aas thi ab jane lagi
subah hone se jaise uthte huye li angdai
o saba tu bhi jo aayi to akeli aayi
o saba tu bhi jo aayi to akeli aayi

All night, you swayed in my tear-filled eyes,
Like breath, you came and went, a sweet surprise.

Joy bloomed, anticipating dreams to come,
My heart's desires, a frosted, veiled sum.
A tremor danced within my restless core,
And in my grief, a wedding song did soar.

Even the night's awake stars sought their rest,
Hope of your return now left my breast.
As dawn arose, stretching in sleepy grace,
Oh, morning breeze, you came, yet left no trace.
Oh, morning breeze, you came, alone, in space.
