tadap tadap kar din guzra hai
tadap tadap kar din guzra hai
taare gin gin raat guzari
tu hai sabki sunne wala
sunle ab friyad humari
sunle ab friyad
wakat bada hai kaisa haye
mod gaye munh apne praye
bethi hu umid lagaye
ujdi nagri kaun basaye
tu hai sabki sunne wala
sunle ab friyad humari
sunle ab friyad

dil ki lagi ko kaise bujhau
aaha bhru ya aansu bahau
aaha bhru ya aansu bahau
apni kahani kisko sunau
ruthe hai wo kaise manau
ruthe hai wo kaise manau
tu hai sabki sunne wala
sunle ab friyad humari
sunle ab friyad
bhatak rahi hu rah bata de
jinki hu un tak phucha de
ya rab bigdi bat bana de
kasti meri paar laga de
tu hai sabki sunne wala
sunle ab friyad humari
sunle ab friyad
tadap tadap kar din guzra hai
taare gin gin raat guzari
tu hai sabki sunne wala
sunle ab friyad humari
sunle ab friyad

The days have writhed, a constant ache,
The nights consumed by star-lit wake.
You, the listener of every plea,
Hear now, the desperate cry from me.
Hear now this yearning, deep and vast,
A cruel twist the moments cast.
Strangers turn, familiar faces fade,
In hope I sit, a desolate glade.
Who will rebuild this fallen town?
You, the listener, look down.
Hear now, the desperate cry from me,
Hear now this yearning, wild and free.

How to quench this fire in my soul?
Sigh or weep, beyond control?
Sigh or weep, a silent tear,
To whom can I confide my fear?
They are angered, how to reconcile?
They are angered, for a while.
You, the listener, hear my plight,
Hear now, and bring forth light.
Hear now this plea, my soul's desire,

Lost, I wander, show the way,
To those I belong, gently convey.
Oh, Lord, reshape what's gone awry,
My vessel guide, toward the sky.
You, the listener, ever near,
Hear now, and wipe away each tear.
Hear now this yearning, crystal clear.
The days have writhed, in endless pain,
The nights consumed, counting stars in vain.
You, the listener of every plea,
Hear now, the desperate cry from me.
Hear now this yearning, eternally.
