ashq aankho se ravaan aur jigar jalataa hai
kyaa qayaamat hai ki barasaat me ghar jalataa hai

na kahi aag na shole na dhu_aan uthataa hai
vaah kis dhag se ulafat kaa shahar jalataa hai
kyaa qayaamat hai ki barasaat me ghar jalataa hai

what lamp is that which goes out with the approaching dawn
my innocent heart, sweetheart, is aflame day and night

aamad-e-subah se jo gul ho vo charaag nahi
dil-e-maasum sanam shaam-o-sahar jalataa hai
kyaa qayaamat hai ki barasaat me ghar jalataa hai

Tears stream forth, yet the heart’s ablaze,
A strange doom, the home in the rain's haze.
No fire's lick, no smoke to rise and roam,

See how love's city burns, a hidden flame,
A strange doom, the home in the rain's game.
The dawn's approach, no lamp to gleam and say,
The innocent heart, each night and day,
A strange doom, the home in the rain's sway.
