wahi rota hua dil idhar bhi hai udhar bhi hai
musafir se khafa musafir se khafa
manjil idhar bhi hai udhar bhi hai
wahi rota hua

udhar ek dard hai dil me
jo aasu kho nahi sakta
idhar aankho me aasu hai
magar mai ro nahi sakta
jamane se paresha jamane se presan dil
idhar bhi hai udhar bhi hai
musafir se khafa

mohabbat me wahi muskil
mohabbat me wahi muskil
idhar bhi hai udhar bhi hai
musafir hai khafa
wahi ek gum ka afasna
kahe jate hai hum dono
mukkadar ke ishare par
bahe jate hai ham dono
nigaho se pare nigaho se pare sahil
idhar bhi hai udhar bhi hai
musafir se khafa musafir se khafa
manjil idhar bhi hai udhar bhi hai
wahi rota hua

A weeping heart resides here and there,
Bitter the traveler, by the traveler scorned.
The destination beckons, everywhere,
The selfsame weeping heart, forever mourned.

A hidden ache within that side,
Where tears are held, cannot be freed.
Here, in my eyes, the waters hide,
Though weeping is a desperate need.
Troubled by the beloved, ever pained,
Here and there, the heart’s unrest displayed,
Bitter the traveler, love's plea disdained.

The selfsame struggle in love's embrace,
The selfsame struggle, near and far,
Bitter the traveler, in this desolate space.
The same tale of sorrow, like a scar,
We both recount, in whispered sighs,
At fate's command, we drift and stray.
Beyond the gaze, where the shoreline lies,
Here and there, the heart's dismay.
Bitter the traveler, by the traveler scorned.
The destination beckons, everywhere,
The selfsame weeping heart, forever mourned.
