kab tak uthaye aur ye gum intzar ka
kab tak uthaye aur ye gum intzar ka
aaja chirag bujh raha hai tere pyar ka
kab tak uthaye aur ye gum

tufan gum ke aaye ya hawaye julm ki
tufan gum ke aaye ya hawaye julm ki
fir bhi na bujh sakega ye chirag pyar ka
aaja chirag bujh raha hai tere pyar ka
kab tak uthaye aur ye gum

aye kash ke dildar jab ho unse mulakat
aye kash ke dildar jab ho unse mulakat
itna to na dile bekarar tha
aaja chirag bujh raha hai tere pyar ka
kab tak uthaye aur ye gum

fariyad karne wale ab fiza ka khof kya
fariyad karne wale ab fiza ka khof kya
dar pe tere aa pahucha hai mausam bahar ka
aaja chirag bujh raha hai tere pyar ka
kab tak uthaye aur ye gum

How long must I bear this grief of waiting?
How long must I bear this grief, this wait?
Come, the lamp of your love is fading,
How long must I bear this grief?

Though tempests of sorrow may rage, winds of injustice may blow,
Though tempests of sorrow, though winds may blow,
Still, this lamp of love will not be quenched, I know.
Come, the lamp of your love is fading,
How long must I bear this grief?

Oh, if only, Beloved, our meeting would come,
Oh, if only, when your face I may meet,
This restless heart would not be so numb,
Come, the lamp of your love is fading,
How long must I bear this grief?

O complainer, why fear the atmosphere's dread?
O you who lament, why fear the air now?
For at your door, spring's season is spread,
Come, the lamp of your love is fading,
How long must I bear this grief?
