unhe bhi raaz-e-ulfat ki naa hone di khabar mai ne
unhe bhi raaz-e-ulfat ki naa hone di khabar mai ne
nazar mil bhi gayi to khud bachaa li hai nazar mai ne

qadam jab mai ne rakhaa raah-e-ulfat me to duniyaa ne
qadam jab mai ne rakhaa raah-e-ulfat me to duniyaa ne
mujhe aavaaz di lekin naa dekhaa chauk kar mai ne

bhalaa gairo se kyaa matalab jo mai un se gila karataa
shikaayat tum se ki hai tum ko apanaa jaan kar mai ne

kahaan mai aur kahaan dair-o-haram ki kashmakash nakhshaab
kahaan mai aur kahaan dair-o-haram ki kashmakash nakhshaab
kisi ke naqsh-e-paa par rakh diyaa jab aaj sar mai ne
unhe bhi raaz-e-ulfat ki naa hone di khabar mai ne

I hid the secret of love from them,
concealed it even in their presence,
I hid the secret of love from them,
even when glances met, I averted my gaze.

When I stepped onto love's path, the world,
called out to me,
but I did not startle or look back.

What care I for strangers, that I should complain?
I only complain to you, knowing you as my own.

Where am I, and where is the struggle of temples and mosques,
Where am I, and where is the struggle of temples and mosques,
I laid my head down on the imprint of another's feet,
I hid the secret of love from them.
