mere dil ke lifafe mein
tera khat hai jaaniya, o tera khat hai jaaniya
nacheez ne kaise paa li, kismat yeh janiya ve

o mere dil ke lifafe mein
tera khat hai jaaniya, tera khat hai jaaniya
nacheez ne kaise paa li, jannat yeh janiya ve

tu nazm nazm sa mere, honthon pe thehar ja
tu nazm nazm sa mere, honthon pe thehar ja

main khawaab khawaab sa, teri aankhon mein jaagun re
tu ishq ishq sa mere, rooh mein aake bas jaa
jis aur teri shehnaai, uss aur main bhaagu re

heerni meri ye, heerni meri ye
tujhko hi main chaahun
koshishan main kari aye, koshishan main kari aye
tujhko bhul na paaun

haath thaam le piya, karte hain waada
ab se tu aarzoo, tu hi hai iraada

mera naam le piya, main teri rubaai
teri hi toh piche, piche
barsaat aayi, barsaat aayi

tu itr itr sa mere, saanson mein bikhar jaa
main faqeer tere qurbat ka, tujhse tu maangun re

tu ishq ishq sa mere, rooh mein aake bas ja
jis aur teri shehnaai, uss aur main bhaagu re

In my heart's embrace,
A letter from you, my love, a letter from you.
How did this unworthy one,
Find fortune such, oh love?
In my heart's embrace,
A letter from you, my love, from you.
How did this unworthy one,
Find paradise like this, oh love?

Be a poem, linger like a verse on my lips,
Be a poem, linger like a verse on my lips.
I’ll be a dream, to wake within your eyes,
You, like love itself, come reside in my soul.
Where your flute plays, that's where I will run,
My deer, my deer,
Only you do I yearn.
I have tried, I have tried,
But I cannot forget you.
Take my hand, my love, a vow we make,
From now, you are my desire, and my intent.

Take my name, my love, I am your ghazal,
Behind you alone,
The rains have come, the rains have come.
Like a perfume, scatter through my breath,
I, a beggar, of your nearness, beg only for you.
You, like love itself, come reside in my soul.
Where your flute plays, that’s where I will run.
