sabar de ya mere zakhmo ko masiha dede
sabar de ya mere zakhmo ko masiha dede
warna phir mujhko tadapne ka salika dede
sabar de ya mere zakhmo ko

thak ke benoor huyi, dhundhne wali aankhe
thak ke benoor huyi, dhundhne wali aankhe
thak ke benoor huyi, dhundhne wali aankhe
ab ilaahi mere pairo mein ujala dede
sabar de ya mere zakhmo ko

umar bhar jisne kadi dhup mein raahat di hain
umar bhar jisne kadi dhup mein raahat di hain
us sulagti huyi diwaar ko saaya dede
warna phir mujhko tadapne ka salika dede
sabar de ya mere zakhmo ko

aarzu hain ke kisi aankh me aansu na rahe
aarzu hain ke kisi aankh me aansu na rahe
aarzu hain ke kisi aankh me aansu na rahe
mere hatho mein koi aisa khilona dede
warna phir mujhko tadapne ka salika dede
sabar de ya mere zakhmo ko masiha dede
sabar de ya mere zakhmo ko

The sun's harsh glare, throughout my weary years,
The sun's harsh glare, throughout my weary years,
Upon that burning wall, a shade confer;
Else, teach my soul the art of how to bleed,
Patience grant, or…

A wish remains, that tears no eye may fill;
A wish remains, that tears no eye may fill;
A wish remains, that tears no eye may fill;
In my own hands, a toy to gently hold;
Else, teach my soul the art of how to bleed,
Patience grant, or heal my wounds, bestow;
Patience grant, or…
