tum na aaye to har chiz wahi thi ke jo hai
aasma had-e-najar raah gujar raah gujar
shishe me shishe me
aur ab shishe me raah gujar rang-e-falak
rang hai dil ka mere khune jigar hone tak

champai rang kabhi rahat-e-didar ka rang
surmayi rang kahe sath bejar ka rang
jar patto ka khaso khar ka rang
surkh phulo ka dahakte huye gulzaar ka rang
zehar ka rang lahu rang
shabe taar ka rang
aasma raah gujar shishe me koi bhiga hua daman
koi dukhti huyi rag
koi har lahja badalta hua aaina hai

ab jo aaye to thahro
ke koi rang koi rut koi shay
ek jagah par tahre
phir se ek baar
harek chiz wahi ho ke jo hai
aasma had-e-najar raah gujar raah gujar
shishe me shishe me

When you were gone, all remained as it was,
The sky, the edge of sight, a path, a path,
Mirrored in mirrors,
And now, in glass, the path, the hues of heaven,
Colours of my heart, until my heart's blood stains.

Champagne hues, the comfort of your gaze,
Smoky shades, the weariness of separation's maze,
The colour of fallen leaves, of thorny ways,
The scarlet of flowers, ablaze in gardens' haze,
The colour of poison, of blood's red stain,
The colour of starlit nights, of endless pain.
The sky, a path, mirrors hold a soaked hem,
A throbbing vein,
A mirror, ever changing, a constant game.

Now that you've returned, stay,
Let some colour, some season, some form
Remain in one place,
Once again,
Let all things be as they are,
The sky, the edge of sight, a path, a path,
Mirrored in mirrors.
