teskine dile mehzoom na huyi
wasle ye karam farma bhi gayi
teskine dile mehzoom na huyi
wasle ye karam farma bhi gayi

ham marze wafa bhi kar na sake
kuch keh na sake kuch sun na sake
ham marze wafa bhi kar na sake
kuch keh na sake kuch sun na sake
yahan hum ne juban hi kholi thi
wahan aankh juki sharma bhi gayi
yahan hum ne jubaan hi kholi thi
wahan aankh juki sharma bhi gayi

teskin karam ko kya kahe
behla bhi gaye tadpa bhi gayi
teskine dile mehzum na huyi

The solace craved, it never came,
Though union's grace, a fleeting flame.
The solace craved, it never came,
Though union's grace, a fleeting flame.

We, bound by love, could not fulfill,
Nor voice our truth, nor heed the thrill.
We, bound by love, could not fulfill,
Nor voice our truth, nor heed the thrill.
Our tongues unsealed, a whispered plea,
Then eyes, abashed, in modesty.
Our tongues unsealed, a whispered plea,
Then eyes, abashed, in modesty.

What words for grace, that played its part?
It soothed the soul, yet pierced the heart.
The solace craved, it never came.
