aisa laga mujhe pehli dafaa tanha main ho gayi yaara
ho aisa laga mujhe pehli dafaa tanha main ho gayi yaara
hu pareshan si main ab ye kehne ke liye
tu zaroori sa hai mujhko zinda rehne ke liye
ho zaroori sa hai mujhko zinda rehne ke liye
aisa laga mujhe pehli dafaa tanha main ho gaya yaara
hu pareshan sa main ab ye kehne ke liye
tu zaroori sa hai mujhko zinda rehne ke liye
wo oo tu zaroori, tu zaroori
sa hai mujhko, sa hai mujhko
zinda rehne ke liye, zinda rehne ke liye

dhadke aankhon me dil mera jab qareeb aau tere
dekhu main jab bhi aaina ha tu hi rubaru rahe mere
ishq ki mauj me aa, aaja behne ke liye
tu zaroori sa hai mujhko zinda rehne ke liye
wo oo tu zaroori, tu zaroori
sa hai mujhko, sa hai mujhko
zinda rehne ke liye, zinda rehne ke liye
tu zaroori

maangu na koi aasma du sitaaro ka jahaa
ban ja tu mera humsafar na mujhe chahiye koi muqaam
dil hi kaafi hai tera mere rehne ke liye
tu zaroori sa hai mujhko zinda rehne ke liye
tu zaroori, tu zaroori
sa hai mujhko, sa hai mujhko zinda rehne
ho tu zaroori sa hai mujhko zinda rehne ke liye
tu zaroori

For the first time, a solitude I've known,
A solitary echo, deeply sown.
Perplexed am I, these words I must impart:
You are essential, beating in my heart,
Essential for the breath that fills my soul.

For the first time, a solitude I've found,
A lonely space, where silence does resound.
Perplexed am I, these words to now convey:
You are essential, breathing life in me,
You are essential for my very being.

My heart beats faster when I near your face,
In every mirror, I see your embrace.
Come, let us drift upon love's flowing tide,
You are essential, nowhere else to hide,
You are essential, for eternity.

I ask no heavens, no starry display,
Become my companion, come, lead the way.
My heart alone, where you reside, will be,
You are essential, and vital to me,
You are essential to my very life.

You are essential, for eternity.
