khuli jo aankh to badala huaa jamana tha
na sansa thi na chaman tha na aashiyana tha
dil mein game mohabbata aankhon mein iltajaye
pahali hai raat gam ki kaise ise bitaye
dil mein game mohabbata aankhon mein iltajaye

ye kah rahi hai aankhen aansu baha baha ke
ye kah rahi hai aankhen aansu baha baha ke
dubi hamari kashti sahil ke paas aake
barbad kar gai hai takdir ki hawaye
pahali hai raat gam ki kaise ise bitaye

najaro se dur hai vo yaad unki paas mere
najaro se dur hai vo yaad unki paas mere
karate hai yaad unko nagame ye sath mere
par aansuo bata do kaise unhe bhulaye
pahali hai raat gam ki kaise ise bitaye
kaise ise bitaye

The world unveiled, a different hue,
No breath remained, no garden knew,
No nest remained, just emptiness.
My heart with love's deep sorrow pressed,
My eyes with pleas, a tearful quest.
This first night of grief, how can I rest?

These weeping eyes, a story tell,
With every tear, a mournful knell,
Our vessel sunk, near shores we knew,
The winds of fate, our dreams they slew.
This first night of grief, how can I rest?

Though far away, their memory near,
Their presence felt, dispelling fear,
My songs recall them, softly sung,
But tell these tears, where they have gone,
How to forget, when love is done?
This first night of grief, how can I rest?
How can I rest?
