jab se usne shaher ko chhoda
jab se usne shaher ko chhoda
har rasta sunsaan hua
apna kya hai saare shaher ka
apna kya hai saare shaher ka
ek jaisa nuksan hua
jab se usne shaher ko chhoda
har rasta sunsaan hua

sahra ki maujor hawaye auro se mansub hui
sahra ki maujor hawaye auro se mansub hui
muft mein ham aawara thahre
muft mein ham aawara thahre
muft mein ghar viraan hua
jab se usne shaher ko chhoda
har rasta sunsaan hua

mere haal pe hairat kaisi
dard ke tanha mausam mein
mere haal pe hairat kaisi
dard ke tanha mausam mein
patthar bhi ro padte hai
patthar bhi ro padte hai
insaan to phir insaan hua
jab se usne shaher ko chhoda
har rasta sunsaan hua

uske zakhm chhupa kar rakhiye
khud us shaks ki najro se
uske zakhm chhupa kar rakhiye
khud us shaks ki najro se
usse kaisa shikwa kijiye
usse kaisa shikwa kijiye
wo to abhi nadan hua
jab se usne shaher ko chhoda
har rasta sunsaan hua

yu bhi kam aamez tha mohsin
wo is shaher ke logo mein
yu bhi kam aamez tha mohsin
wo is shaher ke logo mein
lekin mere samne aakar
lekin mere samne aakar
aur bhi kuchh anjaam hua
jab se usne shaher ko chhoda
jab se usne shaher ko chhoda
har rasta sunsaan hua
jab se usne shaher ko chhoda
har rasta sunsaan hua

Since she left the city's embrace,
Since she left the city's embrace,
Each path now a desolate space.
What matters the city to me?
What matters the city to me?
The whole place, a shared misery.
Since she left the city's embrace,
Each path now a desolate space.

The desert winds, once ours alone,
The desert winds, once ours alone,
Now to others, they've flown.
For free, we became vagrants then,
For free, our home fell to ruin again.
Since she left the city's embrace,
Each path now a desolate space.

Why marvel at my state of heart?
In the lone season of the ache, apart,
Why marvel at my state of heart?
Even stones begin to weep,
Even stones begin to weep,
How much more, a soul to keep?
Since she left the city's embrace,
Each path now a desolate space.

Hide her wounds away,
Hide her wounds away,
From her own gaze today.
How can one lodge a complaint?
How can one lodge a complaint?
She's still innocent, a saint.
Since she left the city's embrace,
Each path now a desolate space.

So little did she belong,
In the city's throng,
So little did she belong,
But meeting me, it came to pass,
But meeting me, it came to pass,
Something else, alas.
Since she left the city's embrace,
Since she left the city's embrace,
Each path now a desolate space.
Since she left the city's embrace,
Each path now a desolate space.
