hontho pe rahi fariyad
hontho pe rahi fariyad yad rahi sine me
hontho pe rahi fariyad
jab tum hi rhe na pas
jab tum hi rhe na pas
rah kya jine me
hontho pe rahi fariyad yad rahi sine me
hontho pe rahi fariyad

din rain rahe bechain
nain mere har gaye
din rain rahe bechain
nain mere har gaye
man bhaye sajan nahi aaye
ho sagar par gaye
ab koyal kyun bole
ab koyal kyun bole
sawan ke mahine me
raha kya jine me
hontho pe rahi fariyad yad rahi sine me
hontho pe rahi fariyad

jalta hai mere dil ka hi
aasha ka diya aasha ka diya
jalta hai mere dil ka hi
aasha ka diya aasha ka diya
koi muchhe meri kismat se
tune ye kya kiya tune ye kya kiya
yun umar gujarti hai yun umar gujarti hai
sawan ke mahine me
raha kya jine me
hontho pe rahi fariyad yad rahi sine me
hontho pe rahi fariyad

Upon my lips, a plea remained,
a memory etched within my breast.
Upon my lips, a plea remained.

When you, yourself, were gone from sight,
when you, yourself, were gone from sight,
what remained to make life blessed?
Upon my lips, a plea remained,
a memory etched within my breast.
Upon my lips, a plea remained.

Day and night, a restless ache,
my weary eyes have lost their fight.
Day and night, a restless ache,
my weary eyes have lost their fight.
My love, though sought, did not return,
across the ocean, took their flight.
Now, why does the cuckoo sing?
Now, why does the cuckoo sing,
in the month of rains so bright?
What remained to make life blessed?
Upon my lips, a plea remained,
a memory etched within my breast.
Upon my lips, a plea remained.

Burning bright, the lamp of hope,
within my heart, it burns anew.
Burning bright, the lamp of hope,
within my heart, it burns anew.
Let someone ask my fate itself,
what have you done, what have you done?
Thus, my life, it slips away,
thus, my life, it slips away,
in the month of rains so blue.
What remained to make life blessed?
Upon my lips, a plea remained,
a memory etched within my breast.
Upon my lips, a plea remained.
