thahar o jane wale
thahar o jane wale
ek meri fariyad sunta ja
thahar o jane wale

agar wada wafa ka
nibha na sakata tha, to kiya kyun tha
yu hi barbad karana tha
to dil mera liya kyun tha
jara o bewafa
haale dile barbad sunta ja
thahar o jane wale

kise malum tha, saaje tamanna tut jayega
kise malum tha, saaje tamanna tut jayega
mohabbat ruth jayegi, nasiba fut jayega
meri futi huyi takdeer ki
fariyad sunta ja
thahar o jane wale

tujhe meri kasam
bhule se mujhko yaad mat karna
basa kar ek nayi duniya
use barbad mat karna
meri ujde huye dil se
mubaarak baat sunta ja
thahar o jane wale
thahar o jane wale
ek meri fariyad sunta ja
thahar o jane wale

Stay, O passerby,
Stay, O passerby,
Hearken to my lament,
Stay, O passerby.

If faith’s vow you could not keep,
Then why did you make it?
If only to shatter,
Then why did you steal my heart?
O heedless one,
Listen to my ruined heart’s tale,
Stay, O passerby.

Who knew, desire's instrument would break?
Who knew, desire's instrument would break?
Love would turn away, fate would shatter,
To my shattered destiny’s plea,
Listen,
Stay, O passerby.

By my oath I implore,
Forget me not, even by chance,
Build a new world,
Do not let it be destroyed,
From my desolate heart,
Receive a blessing,
Stay, O passerby,
Stay, O passerby,
Hearken to my lament,
Stay, O passerby.
