intezaar hai tera intezaar hai tera
aa bhi ja aa dilruba intezaar hai tera
jaise sulgati thi tanhayiya
yaado ki berang parchhayiya
bekarar hai fijaa aa bhi jaa
aa dilruba intezaar hai tera

kajal bhi shabanam mein ghulne laga
gajra bhi murjha ke khulne laga
aa bahar leke aa aa bhi jaa
aa dilruba intezaar hai tera

Your absence, a waiting, a waiting for you,
Come, Beloved, the waiting is for you.
Like embers, the solitude smoldered,
Shadows of memories, colorless, wandered.
The atmosphere yearns, come, do appear,
Come, Beloved, the waiting is here.

Even kohl begins to melt in the dew,
The garland of blossoms, withers anew.
Bring the spring's bloom, come, hasten near,
Come, Beloved, the waiting is here.
