mere hamnashi mere hamnawa
mere pas aa mujhe tham le
mujhe tham le
mere hamnashi mere hamnawa

tu chala hai mujhse bichhad ke yu
jyun shikashta-saaz se raagni
jyun chali hai jism se dur jaan
jyun chali ho aankh se roshani
mujhe de-de banho ka aasra
mere pas aa mujhe tham le
mujhe tham le
mere hamnashi mere hamnawa

ye teraa milan ye teraa karam
hai mujhe hayat se kam nahi
too hai saamne to mere sanam
mujhe maut kaa bhi alam nahi
ai bahar-e-dil ai sukun-e-jaan
mere pas aa mujhe tham le
mujhe tham le
mere hamnashi mere hamnawa
mere hamnashi mere hamnawa
mere hamnashi mere hamnawa

My heart's companion, my soul's kin,
Draw near to me, and hold me fast,
Embrace me close, and hold me fast,
My heart's companion, my soul's kin.

You depart from me, a fading trace,
Like a melody, a broken string,
Like the soul that leaves the body's space,
Like light that vanishes, taking wing.
Grant me the shelter of your arms,
Draw near to me, and hold me fast,
Embrace me close, and hold me fast,
My heart's companion, my soul's kin.

This meeting, this grace, you bestow,
Is life itself, and nothing less,
With you before me, my love, I know,
No sorrow of death can cause distress.
O spring of heart, and peace of soul,
Draw near to me, and hold me fast,
Embrace me close, and hold me fast,
My heart's companion, my soul's kin.
My heart's companion, my soul's kin.
My heart's companion, my soul's kin.
