All alone in the room,
Don't know how n' why
You are here everywhere.
The moon is right there outside my window.
It neither shines nor cools.
Necessarily or unnecessarily,
It
It reminds me about you.
If it's not right, then
Why it doesn't know?

It seems there is no fire in the sun when you aren’t there,
and there is no music in a cuckoo’s singing..
the moonlights rain over here,
but why do I get only darkness in my hands?

without you there is no colour and life..
without you I am not awake even when I am awake..
without you, O beloved,
the days are like an ocean, and nights are like some islands..
it’s an incomplete story and incomplete goodbye.
I just hope it doesn’t end like that forever.

why are you angry there,
listen to this secret,
what is this body, just an empty shell,
you are the pearl of soul.
however much is your need,
take from my life..
you stitch songs out of all my lost notes,
O my beloved, the pains you afflict, and your benevolences,
both seem to be looters to me..

Adhoori adhoori adhoori kahaani, adhoora alvida
Yoonhi yunhi raina jaaye adhoore sada.

How long to hold my words away from you?
I couldn't withstand.
I couldn't.
I couldn't.

Ek wari hore dikha
Gham ki parat pe
Jhooti hi sharat pe
Phir se ye jeena sikha

tere mere darmiyaan hain baatein ankahi
tu wahaan hai main yahaan
kyun saath hum nahin

there are things unsaid between you n' me,
you are there and I'm here.
Why aren't we together?

the decisions we took,
gave us distances only.
why did our paths get separated?
neither you are wrong, nor am I right.

take me with you,
I don't have to live with myself.

le ja mujhe...

there are some distances,
some compulsions,
but my heart knows...

a day will come,
when you'd be back,
then my heart will smile again.

sitting just like that
I think,
why our paths got separated.
neither you are wrong, nor am I right.

le ja mujhe saath tere
mujhko na rehna saath mere

le ja mujhe...

I'm fighting memories,
battling with myself,
there is no sleep in my eyes.

when I got separated from you,
It felt like
my world is shattered.

this journey belonged to both of us,
and now on reaching the destination,
why have the paths become separated?
neither you are wrong, nor am I right.

le ja mujhe saath tere
mujhko na rehna saath mere

le ja mujhe...

sun mere khuda bas itni si meri duaa
lauTa de humsafar mera

Le ja mujhe...
Saath tere....

khaali chiTThiyaan thin
tujhe ro ro ke laga bhejin
mohar ishqaan ki
ishqan ki, haaye...
kaagaz ki kashti
mere dil ki thi Duba baiThi
neher ashqan ki... haaye...

there were blank letters,
I cried and sent you
with the seals of love.
there was a paperboat of my heart,
the canal of tears made it drown...


besuri dil ki ye dhun
karta daleelein tu sun
aaina tu, tu hi pehchaane na
jo hoon wo maane na
na ajnabi, tu ban abhi

this out of tone music of the heart,
it makes some case, listen to it,
you are my mirror, and you don't recognize me,
you don't consider me what I am,
no, don't be a stranger now.


hoonk hai dil mein uThi
aalaapon si hai baji
saanson mein tu
maddham se raagon sa
kesar ke dhaagon sa
yoon ghul gaya
main ghum gayaa...

there is a cry of pain in the heart,
like some musical notes
you are there in my heart.
like some silent ragas,
like some threads of saffron,
you were dissolved in such a way,
I was lost...


O.. dil pe dhundhla sa
saleTi rang kaisa chaRhaa..

what a hazy grey color
is there on my heart..
.

tujhse aisa uljha
dil dhaaga dhaaga khincha
dargaah pe jaise
ho chaadron sa bichha
yoonhi roz ye udhaRaa buna
qissa ishq ka kai baar
humne phir se likha...


I got entangled in such a way,
that the heart got drawn thread by thread,
as if it's spread on a shrine like some sheets...
I wrote the story of love many times...


saheba, saheba,
chal wahaan jahaan mirza... 

O sahiba, O sahiba,
hijr ki choT hai laagi re
O sahiba...
jigar hua hai baaghi re
zid behad hui
raT-ti hai zubaan

O sahibaan,
there is injury of separation (on the heart),
O sahibaan,

the heart has become a rebel,
the obstinacy has gone beyond the limit,
and the tongue chants your name.

O tere bin..
O tere bin
saans bhi kaanch si, kaanch si
kaaTe, kaaTe re
o tere bina
jindaRi raakh si, raakh si
laage re...

without you,
even my breathe pierces me
like broken glass.
and the life seems like ash.


Aankhein Meri, Sapne Tere
Dil Mera, Yaadein Teri
Mera hai Kya?
Sab Kuch tera.
Jaan Teri, Saansein Teri....
