kal tak toh shikaayat thi, aaj tumse mohabbat hai
dhadkan se bhi zada mujhe aaj teri jarurat hai
hamko bhi shikaayat thi, aaj tumse mohabbat hai
jindagi se bhi zada mujhe, aaj teri jarurat hai
ho kal tak toh shikaayat thi

anjaane se iss aalam me, ek duje ko jaan gaye ham
ho dil ki najar se dekha tumako aur tumko pehchaan gaye
tum pas hamaare the, ham paas tumhaare the
tanaha tanaha phir bhi din raat gujaare the
kaise dono ki haalat thi, aaj thodi si raahat hai
jindagi se bhi jayaada mujhe, aaj tere jarurat hai
ho kal tak toh shikaayat thi

chupake chupake yeh dil dekho, baatein tumhaari karne laga hai
ho tum kya jaano yeh divaana, kitana tumpe marne laga
najdik jara aao, ham dil me utar jaaye
betaabee kehatee hai ham had se gujar jaaye
ham kuch bhi kare pyaar me, aaj hamako ijjaajat hai
dhadkan se bhi jayaada mujhe, aaj teree jarurat hai
hamko bhi shikaayat thee, aaj tumse mohabbat hai
jindagi se bhee zada mujhe, aaj teri jarurat hai
ho kal tak toh shikaayat thi

Yesterday, a lament, now, love's tender grace,
More than my pulse, I need your embrace.
We too lamented, but love now finds its way,
More than life itself, I need you today,
Oh, yesterday, a lament.

In this unknown world, we came to know,
Through hearts' eyes we saw, and our spirits did grow.
Though near to each other, our spirits apart,
We wandered alone, each with a broken heart.
What state were we in, now a moment of ease,
More than life itself, I need your release,
Oh, yesterday, a lament.

Secretly, now my heart speaks of you,
You know not how deeply, this madness is true.
Come closer, dear one, let me enter your soul,
My longing proclaims, beyond limits to stroll.
Let us do what we must, in love's sweet decree,
More than my pulse, I need only thee.
We too lamented, but love now finds its way,
More than life itself, I need you today,
Oh, yesterday, a lament.
