khusbu hu mai phul nahi hu jo murjhaunga khusbu hu mai
jab jab mausam lahrayega jab jab mausam lahrayega
mai aa jaunga mai aa jaunga
khusbu hu mai phul nahi hu jo murjhaunga khusbu hu mai

meri surat koi nahi hai tera mera chehra hai
bhiga sawan suna aangan har aayina mera hai
jab jab kali khilegi koi jab jab kali khilegi koi
mai muskaunga mai aa jaunga
khusbu hu mai phul nahi hu jo murjhaunga khusbu hu mai

jab bhi meri yad sataye phul khilati rahna
mere geet sahara denge inko gati rahna
mai andekha tara bankar mai andekha tara bankar
rah dikhaunga mai aa jaunga mai aa jaunga
khusbu hu mai phul nahi hu jo murjhaunga khusbu hu mai

I am a fragrance, not a bloom that fades, a fragrance am I.
When seasons surge, when seasons surge,
I shall return, I shall return.
I am a fragrance, not a bloom that fades, a fragrance am I.

No form is mine, your face, my face, our mirror's gleam.
A drenched monsoon, a silent courtyard, every surface, my seam.
When every bud unfurls, when every bud unfurls,
I shall perfume, I shall return.
I am a fragrance, not a bloom that fades, a fragrance am I.

Whenever memory aches, let flowers ever bloom.
My songs will be your comfort, sing them through the gloom.
As an unseen star, as an unseen star,
I shall light your path, I shall return, I shall return.
I am a fragrance, not a bloom that fades, a fragrance am I.
