talkhi ae mai mein zara talkhi ae mai mein zara
talkhi ae dil bhi ghole aur kuch der
yaha baith le pee le ro le
talkhi ae mai mein zara
har taraf ek purasraar si khamoshi hai
har taraf ek purasraar si khamoshi hai
apne saye se koi baat kare kuch bole
talkhi ae mai mein zara

koi to shaksh ho jee jaan se chahe jisko
koi to jane tassvur ho ke hone
talkhi ae mai mein zara
aah ye dil kasak haay ye aankho ki jalan
aah ye dil kasak haay ye aankho ki jalan
neend aa jaye agar aaj to hum bhi so le
talkhi ae mai mein zara talkhi ae dil bhi ghole

A bitterness, a touch of it in me,
A bitterness to melt the heart awhile,
Sit here, drink deep, and weep,
A bitterness, a touch of it.

On every side, a silence veiled and deep,
On every side, a silence veiled and deep,
Let shadows speak, let them at last converse,
A bitterness, a touch of it.

A soul, a being, to love with all their might,
A soul to know, a vision to exist,
A bitterness, a touch of it.

Oh, this ache of heart, the burning in my eyes,
Oh, this ache of heart, the burning in my eyes,
If sleep should come, then let me close my eyes,
A bitterness, to melt the heart.
