tum paas nahi tum paas nahi
bechain hai dil ummid ka deepak bujhta hai
tum paas nahi tum paas nahi
bechain hai dil ummid ka deepak bujhta hai
hontho pe hansi murjhati hai
hontho pe hansi murjhati hai
takdeer ko nind bhi aati hai
takdeer ko nind bhi aati hai
aur gam ki rat aur gam ki rat
jara si hai ummid ka deepak bujhta hai

majbur ho gaye tum kaise aane se
majbur ho gaye tum kaise aane se
chhupta nahi dard chhupane se
chhupta nahi dard chhupane se
dil jalne laga gam khane se
ummid ka deepak bujhta hai
sapne bhi adhure tut gaye
sapne bhi adhure tut gaye
dil milne na paye ye tut gaye
dil milne na paye ye tut gaye
aur tum bhi hamse
aur tum bhi hamse ruth gaye

You are not near, you are not near,
The restless heart, hope's lamp is dimmed, I fear.
You are not near, you are not near,
The restless heart, hope's lamp is dimmed, so clear.

On the lips, laughter withers, frail,
On the lips, laughter withers, pale,
Even fate succumbs to slumber's veil,
Even fate succumbs to slumber's trail.
And the night of sorrow, the night of woe,
A tiny spark, hope's lamp starts to go.

Compelled, how could you stay away,
Compelled, how could you stay, to play?
Pain does not vanish, come what may,
Pain does not vanish, day by day.
The heart begins to burn, in sorrow's sway,
Hope's lamp is dimmed, it fades away.

Dreams, unfinished, shattered now,
Dreams, unfinished, taking a bow,
Hearts never met, broken somehow,
Hearts never met, broken anyhow.
And you, too, from us, turned away,
And you, too, from us, gone astray.
