jaha jaha mujhe sehra dikhayi deta hai
jaha jaha mujhe sehra dikhayi deta hai
meri tarah se akela dikhayi deta hai
jaha jaha mujhe sehra dikhayi deta hai

ye ek abr ka tukda kaha kaha barse
ye ek abr ka tukda kaha kaha barse
tamam dasht hi pyasa dikhayi deta hai
jaha jaha mujhe sehra dikhayi deta hai

ye kis maqam pe laayi hai justju teri
ye kis maqam pe laayi hai justju teri
jaha se arsh bhi nicha dikhayi deta hai
jaha jaha mujhe sehra dikhayi deta hai

ye bhigi palken kisi ki ye ashq ba raakhe
ye bhigi palken kisi ki ye ashq ba raakhe
bas ek baar bhi kya kya dikhai deta hai
jaha jaha mujhe sehra dikhayi deta hai
meri tarah se akela dikhayi deta hai
jaha jaha mujhe sehra dikhayi deta hai

Where the desert stretches, a vista wide,
Where the desert stretches, my soul does hide,
Alone, like me, in its desolate pride,
Where the desert stretches, my soul does hide.

Where will this cloud of mercy softly weep?
Where will this cloud of mercy gently seep?
The whole vast desert, thirsty in its sleep,
Where the desert stretches, secrets to keep.

To what far shore has your seeking led?
To what far shore, your spirit has fled?
Where the heavens themselves hang their weary head,
Where the desert stretches, the living and the dead.

These tear-soaked lashes, these trails of woe,
These tear-soaked lashes, the streams that flow,
A single glance, what shadows do they show?
Where the desert stretches, secrets to know,
Alone, like me, in its desolate glow,
Where the desert stretches, where shadows grow.
