ek baar chale aao phir chaahe na aanaa
kuchh tum bhi mere dil ki bechainiyaan le jaao

tasabir muhabbat ki ham ne to banaa daali
mit jaaye to daamanase tum us ko mitaa jaao

jo kahane ko ji chaahe lekin na kahi jaaye
wo kis ki kahaani hai itanaa to bataa jaao

mushkil se jo roke hai wo ashk na bah jaaye
itanaa to in aankho ko samajhaane chale aao

the next stanza is noted in the film's booklet
but it was not included on the 78
hun shamaa magar jisane parawaanaa banaa daalaa
dil jis ne jalaa daalaa wo aag bujhaa jaao

Come once, then never again, if you must,
And carry a piece of my heart's unrest.
The image of love, I have finally wrought,
Should it fade, from your garments, let it be brought.

The unspoken yearnings, the words left unsaid,
Whose story is this, tell me, where have we tread?
The tears I have held back, lest they overflow,
Come, soothe these eyes, and let them gently know.

I am the candle, he the moth, consumed,
The heart that burned, now quenched, finally entombed.
