hasrat-o-yaas ko le kar shab-e-gam aayi hai
bheed hi bheed hai tanhayi hi tanahayi hai

ulfat ke hai kaam niraale ban ban ke bigad jaate hai
kismat me na ho to saathi mil mil ke bichad jaate hai
ulfat ke hai kaam niraale

ummide bhi hai ek sapna duniya me nahi kuch apna
ummide bhi hai ek sapna duniya me nahi kuch apna
aansu hai to beh jaate hai arman hai to sad jaate hai
ulfat ke hai kaam niraale

awaaz uthi hai dil se bedard zamane sun le
awaaz uthi hai dil se bedard zamane sun le
kal tu bhi ujad jayega ham aaj ujad jaate hai
ulfat ke hai kaam niraale ban ban ke bigad jaate hai
kismat me na ho to saathi mil mil ke bichad jaate hai
ulfat ke hai kaam niraale

The night of sorrow arrives, bearing longing and despair,
A crowd of souls, yet loneliness everywhere.

Love's deeds are strange, they bloom and then decay,
If fate denies, companions meet, then drift away.
Love's deeds are strange.

Hopes, a fleeting dream, in this world, nothing we claim,
Hopes, a fleeting dream, in this world, nothing we claim.
Tears, they flow and fade, desires, they slowly rot,
Love's deeds are strange.

A cry arises from the heart, let the heartless world hear,
A cry arises from the heart, let the heartless world hear.
Tomorrow you too shall be undone, as today we fall apart,
Love's deeds are strange, they bloom and then decay,
If fate denies, companions meet, then drift away.
Love's deeds are strange.
