ab to har roz yahi soch ke ham uthate hai
tera chehara kahi ik baar najar aa jaye
aur har shab yahi sochake kab sote hai
tu dabe paanv khwab me kahi chala aaye re

jis ghadi tujhase pehali bar aankh takrayi
aisa laga mujhme jindagi aayi
bat phir jehan me aankho se tere takrayi
der tak ab jism se mere teri khushbu aayi
dil ne yun tujhse mulakat ke sare lamhe
tujhko malum hi nahi kitani bar dohraayi

ishq ne tere hame jine ka dhang sikhalaya
ik naye andaj me
khud hamase hamako milwaya
in dino jab bhi kabhi maine aaina dekha
apane chehare pe kahi kuch nur sa paya
ab to malik se ye din raat duwa kare
nur chehare pe ye sari
umr ko bas thehar jaye
ab to har roz yahi sochake hum uthate hai
tera chehara kahi ik bar najar aa jaye

Each dawn, a prayer upon my lips I wake,
That once, your face, a fleeting glimpse might grace my sight.
And every night, the same longing does take,
For you to tread my dreams in silent light.

The instant when our eyes first met and clashed,
A surge of life, a vibrant, sudden birth.
Then thoughts, through eyes, in quick succession dashed,
And your sweet scent lingered upon the earth.
My heart, in memories, your presence did embrace,
A thousand times, the moments, replayed for your worth.

Your love, a teacher, showed me how to live,
In ways anew, reborn.
It helped me to forgive,
And find myself. These days, when mirrors show,
A subtle light upon my face does weave.
Now, to the divine, I make this plea,
That this soft glow, forever would remain, and cleave.
Each dawn, a prayer upon my lips I wake,
That once, your face, a fleeting glimpse might grace my sight.
