rahaa gardisho me haradam mere ishq kaa sitaaraa
kabhi dagamagaayi kashti, kabhi lut gayaa kinaaraa

koi dil kaa khel dekhe, ki muhabbato ki baazi
vo qadam qadam pe jite, mai qadam qadam pe haaraa

ye hamaari badanasibi jo nahi to aur kyaa hai
ki usi ke ho gaye ham, jo na ho sakaa hamaaraa

pade jab gamo ke paale, rahe mitake mitanevaale
jise maut bhi na puchhaa, use zindagi ne maaraa

My love's star, it swirled in constant plight,
A boat that swayed, a shore lost to night.

Who sees this game of hearts, this lovers' plea?
They win each step, while I fall endlessly.

This sorrow, ours, what else can it be?
That we are his, who could not be with me.

When sorrows fell, we withered, met our end,
Whom death ignored, life struck, its bitter trend.
