tarsi hui najar se na chehra chupaiye
ab dil bohot udas hai ab aa bhi jaiye
jaaga hua hai darde jigar aapke liye
kabse bhatak rahi hai najar aapke liye
jaaga hua hai darde jigar aapke liye
kabse bhatak rahi hai najar aapke liye
jaaga hua hai darde jigar

hum aapse kahe kya gujri jo aaj humpe
hum aapse kahe kya gujri jo aaj humpe
aawaz aapko di dil ne kadam kadam pe
tadpa kiye hai shamo sahar aapke liye
jaaga hua hai darde jigar

mehfil me bhi to hamko tanhaiya mili hai
mehfil me bhi to hamko tanhaiya mili hai
gum ho gaya ujaala parchaiya mili hai
sab kuch hame gawara magar aapke liye
jaaga hua hai darde jigar

ummid ke diye ki lau thar thara rahi hai
ummid ke diye ki lau thar thara rahi hai
ab dubne laga dil ab raat ja rahi hai
ab sochte hai jaye kidhar aapke liye
jaaga hua hai darde jigar aapke liye
kab se bhatak rahi hai najar aapke liye
jaaga hua hai darde jigar

From trembling eyes, why veil your face?
My heart is heavy, come, embrace.
Awake, the ache within my core,
My gaze has wandered, evermore,
Awake, the ache within my core,
My gaze has wandered, evermore.
Awake, the ache.

What words can tell the pain I bear?
What words can tell the pain I bear?
My heart has called, at every stair,
I’ve yearned for you, both day and night,
Awake, the ache.

In gatherings, I find no ease,
In gatherings, I find no ease,
Lost is the light, shadows appease,
All else I'd bear, but not this plight,
Awake, the ache.

The lamp of hope now starts to fade,
The lamp of hope now starts to fade,
My heart descends, the night is made,
Where should I turn, in fading light?
Awake, the ache within your sight,
My gaze has wandered, through the night.
Awake, the ache.
