waasta hi na jab raha tumse
phir jafaao ka kya gila tumse
waasta hi na jab raha tumse
phir jafaao ka kya gila tumse
tum kisi gair ki amaanat ho
kaisa shikva-gila bhala tumse
waasta hi na jab raha

dard deke paraye ho baithe
kaise maangu main ab dawa tumse
dard deke paraye ho baithe
kaise maangu main ab dawa tumse
kam se kam jhuthi taslli deye
haay ye bhi na ho saka tumse
waasta hi jab na raha

chnd roti hui yaado ke siwaay
dekh lo kuch nahi liya tumse
chnd roti hui yaado ke siwaay
dekh lo kuch nahi liya tumse
yaaro hanste wo mujhpe khub hanso
aur hogi bhi sakega kya tumse
waasta hi jab na raha

uski kismat pe rask aata hai
jiske dil ka jahan basa tumse
uski kismat pe rask aata hai
jiske dil ka jahan basa tumse
kaise kah dun bura hua tumse
waasta hi na jab raha tumse
phir jafaao ka kya gila tumse
waasta hii na jab raha

When ties are severed, truly gone,
Why mourn the wounds you've inflicted on?
When ties are severed, truly gone,
Why mourn the wounds you've inflicted on?
You're another's, by right and claim,
What grievance can I offer, in your name?
When ties are severed, truly gone.

You left a wound, then turned away,
How can I seek solace, come what may?
You left a wound, then turned away,
How can I seek solace, come what may?
At least a lie, a word of grace,
Alas, even that, you couldn't embrace.
When ties are severed, truly gone.

Save for a weeping memory's trace,
See, I took nothing from your space.
Save for a weeping memory's trace,
See, I took nothing from your space.
Friends may laugh, and scorn me well,
What else, indeed, could you compel?
When ties are severed, truly gone.

Envy I feel for fortunes bright,
Whose heart's world blooms in your light.
Envy I feel for fortunes bright,
Whose heart's world blooms in your light.
My fate was flawed, a twisted thread,
How can I say, "By you, I bled?"
When ties are severed, truly gone,
Why mourn the wounds you've inflicted on?
When ties are severed, truly gone.
