kitni der tak tum bahar rukogi
kitni der tak mai ruku yaha
kitni der tak tum sochti rahogi
ye mai bhi dekhunga
kitni der tak tum, mujhe naa kahogi
apne sheher aane ko
kitni der tak dhundhna hai bahana tumhe
kisi bhi tarah chhune kaa
kitni der tak, kitni der tak
aaj sham ya savere tak
kitni der tak, kitni der tak
aaj sham ya savere tak
odo baad mai tur jana
rowanga mai baithe dur kise kone vich
mud ke ni geet ye mai gana
odo baad mai tur jana, odo baad tu tur jana

kitne der tum bate karogi, filmo ki aur falsafo ki
kitni der aarju aad me chhupegi
coffee ki aur kehkaho ki
kitni der tak us dil me rahega
mere naam par ek sawal
kitni der tak ye chhnd na girega
sath me chalegi taal
kitni der tak, kitni der tak
aaj sham ya savere tak
kitni der tak, kitni der tak
aaj sham ya savere tak
odo baad mai tur jana
rowanga mai baithe dur kise kone vich
mud ke ni geet ye mai gana
odo baad mai tur jana, odo baad tu tur jana

kitni der tak, kitni der tak
aaj sham ya savere tak
odo baad mai tur jana
rowanga mai baithe dur kise kone vich
mud ke ni geet ye mai gana
odo baad mai tur jana, odo baad tu tur jana
kitni der tak, kitni der tak
aaj sham ya savere tak
kitni der tak, kitni der tak
aaj sham ya savere tak

How long will you linger outside,
How long will I wait here?
How long will your thoughts wander,
I too will witness this.
How long will you deny me,
A place within your city?
How long will you search for excuses,
To touch, in any way?
How long, how long,
Until this evening, or dawn?
How long, how long,
Until this evening, or dawn?

Then I will depart,
Weeping, in a distant corner.
Never again will I sing this song,
Then I will depart, then you will depart.

How long will you speak,
Of films and philosophies?
How long will desire hide,
Behind coffee and laughter?
How long will a question remain,
Of my name, within that heart?
How long until this verse falls,
And the rhythm walks with it?
How long, how long,
Until this evening, or dawn?
How long, how long,
Until this evening, or dawn?

Then I will depart,
Weeping, in a distant corner.
Never again will I sing this song,
Then I will depart, then you will depart.

How long, how long,
Until this evening, or dawn?
Then I will depart,
Weeping, in a distant corner.
Never again will I sing this song,
Then I will depart, then you will depart.
How long, how long,
Until this evening, or dawn?
How long, how long,
Until this evening, or dawn?
