udas shaam
udas shaam kisi khaab me dhali to hai
udas shaam kisi khaab me dhali to hai
yahi bahut hai ke taja hawa chali to hai
udas shaam kisi khaab me dhali to hai

jo apni shaakh se bahar abhi nahi aai
jo apni shaakh se bahar abhi nahi aai
nayi bahaar ki jaamin wahi kali to hai
udas shaam kisi khaab me dhali to hai

dhuan to jhuth nahi bolta kabhi yaro
dhuan to jhuth nahi bolta kabhi yaro
hamare shahar me basti koi jali to hai
udas shaam kisi khaab me dhali to hai

kisi ke ishk me ham jaan se gaye lekin
kisi ke ishk me ham jaan se gaye lekin
hamare naam se rasm-e-wafa chali to hai
udas shaam kisi khaab me dhali to hai

hajar band ho dair-o-haram ke darwaaje
hajar band ho dair-o-haram ke darwaaje
mere liye mere mahabub ki gali to hai
udas shaam kisi khaab me dhali to hai
udas shaam kisi khaab me dhali to hai
yahi bahut hai ke taja hawa chali to hai
udas shaam kisi khaab me dhali to hai

The mournful evening, dissolving into dream,
The mournful evening, dissolving into dream,
Enough that a fresh breeze did stream.
The mournful evening, dissolving into dream.

Though yet unblossomed, unseen, unheard,
Though yet unblossomed, unseen, unheard,
That bud, a promise of spring, is conferred.
The mournful evening, dissolving into dream.

Smoke, it does not lie, my friends, never,
Smoke, it does not lie, my friends, never,
A city of ours, burnt by the fever.
The mournful evening, dissolving into dream.

In love's embrace, we surrendered our breath,
In love's embrace, we surrendered our breath,
Though dead, our name whispers of faith.
The mournful evening, dissolving into dream.

Though temples and shrines, a thousand gates close,
Though temples and shrines, a thousand gates close,
My beloved's street, where my spirit knows.
The mournful evening, dissolving into dream.
The mournful evening, dissolving into dream,
Enough that a fresh breeze did stream.
The mournful evening, dissolving into dream.
