aankhon ko intazaar tha, de ke hunar chala gaya
chaha tha ek shakhs ko
chaha tha ek shakhs ko jaane kidhar chala gaya
chaha tha ek shakhs ko jaane kidhar chala gaya

din ki wo mehfile gayi, raaton ke rat jage gaye
din ki wo mehfile gayi, raaton ke rat jage gaye

The eyes, they yearned, then skill bestowed, and went away,
The eyes, they yearned.
A soul desired, vanished, where did he stray?
A soul desired.

The day's bright gatherings, gone, the nights' long vigils too,
The day's bright.
Someone gathered up my
Someone gathered up my dawns and twilights, and went through.
A soul desired, vanished, where did he stray?

A zephyr of the spring,
A zephyr of the spring, thoughts colored by his grace.
A zephyr.
A zephyr of the spring, thoughts colored by his grace.
Everywhere dispersed,
Everywhere dispersed, his fragrance, where did he embrace?
A soul desired, vanished, where did he stray?

By his breath, within my heart, sun and moonlight reside,
By his breath.
Giving of his memory,
Giving of his memory, the sun and lotus, he did confide.
A soul desired, vanished, where did he stray?

High, adrift, a garden lost, wandering, heart astray,
High, adrift.
High, adrift, a garden lost, wandering, heart astray,
Forgetting us, his path,
Forgetting us, his path, his own way, he did convey.
A soul desired, vanished, where did he stray?
A soul desired, vanished, where did he stray?
