jis roz teri ankhiya
maine pahli baar takiya
wo din aur uski ghadiya
rakhiya sambhaal rakhiya
tainu yaad yaad karke
ve main taraya nu padh ke
katiya jo saari ratiya
rakhiya sambhal rakhiya

rabba mere jeene ki waja hai
wo nasha hai mera dil tarse
barishe bhi beet gayi bin barse
aise na saza de yaar ve
tainu vekh vekh jee lu jee bhar ke
teri hi rahu main yaara chahe maar ke
mujhko ye dua de yaar ve

guzre hai lamhe kis tarah tere bin
tu naa jaane tu na jaane
hona hai mera bewajah tere bin
tu na jaane tu na jaane
jaane phir kyu umeeda rakhiya
pagal hai meri ankhiya
khud ko na rok sakiya
teri vekh vekh raaha
thakiya na yaar thakiya

tainu yaad yaad karke
ve main taraya nu padh ke
katiya jo saari ratiyaan
rakhiyan sambhal rakhiyan
rabba mere jeene ki waja hai
wo nasha hai mera dil tarse
barishe bhi beet gayi bin barse
aise na saza de yaar ve
tainu vekh vekh jee lu jee bhar ke
teri hi rahu main yaara chahe mar ke
mujhko ye dua de yaar ve

The day my eyes,
first met your gaze,
that day and all its hours,
I held them close, in daze.

Remembering you, with every breath,
reading the stars, in shades of night,
the endless nights I spent,
I held them close, with all my might.

My God, the reason I still breathe,
is you, my intoxication, my soul's decree.
My heart still yearns, a thirsty land,
even the rains have passed me by,
and left me dry.
Don't punish me so, my love,
let me gaze at you, and live fully,
I'll be yours forever, even in dying,
grant me this prayer, my love.

How these moments have passed, without you,
you don't know, you don't know.
How I’ll be, without you, there’s no clue,
you don't know, you don't know.
Then why, oh why, these hopes I hold,
my foolish eyes, now take their toll.
I couldn't restrain myself, from your pull,
waiting for you, my love, watching your way.

Remembering you, with every breath,
reading the stars, in shades of night,
the endless nights I spent,
I held them close, with all my might.
My God, the reason I still breathe,
is you, my intoxication, my soul's decree.
My heart still yearns, a thirsty land,
even the rains have passed me by,
and left me dry.
Don't punish me so, my love,
let me gaze at you, and live fully,
I'll be yours forever, even in dying,
grant me this prayer, my love.
