ilahi kya ye shabe gham hain umar bhar ke liye
main kab se jaag raha hun bas ek bund zahar ke liye
main kab se jaag raha hun bas ek bund zahar ke liye
bina zulm ke didar to tarasta hai didar to tarasta hai
bina zulm ke didar to tarasta hai
unhi ke gham mein lahu aankh se barasta hain
sharir ke haal bane the jo umar bhar ke liye
main kab se jaag raha hun bas ek bund zahar ke liye

mere hi dam se thi aabad rah gujar unki
mere hi dam se thi aabad rah gujar unki
meri taraf nahi uthti hai ab najar unki
jahan ko chhod diya jinki raah dur ke liye
main kab se jaag raha hun bas ek bund zahar ke liye

ye intzaa hai ke ab umarmur mukt asar kar de
ye intzaa hai ke ab umarmur mukt asar kar de
main jiski raah na dekhu wohi bund zahar kar de
ilahi kya ye shabe gham shabe gham hain umar bhar ke liye
main kab se jaag raha hun bas ek bund zahar ke liye

Is this night of sorrow, a lifetime's plight?
I've lingered awake, for a single drop of night.
I've lingered awake, for a single drop of night.
Without the sting, the vision yearns, it craves,
Without the sting, the vision yearns, it craves.
Their grief, a crimson tide my weeping braves.
These wounds, a tapestry, woven for life's stage,
I've lingered awake, for a single drop of night.

My breath, it bloomed their paths, their haven made,
My breath, it bloomed their paths, their haven made.
Their gaze, no longer, turns where I have stayed.
A world forsaken, for their distant gate,
I've lingered awake, for a single drop of night.

This yearning waits, for time to softly mend,
This yearning waits, for time to softly mend.
That path I shun, a poison without end.
Is this night of sorrow, a lifetime's plight?
I've lingered awake, for a single drop of night.
