mere liye wo gam-e-intzar chhod gaye
gaye to ek anokhi bahar chhod gaye
mere liye wo gam-e-intzar chhod gaye

hajar kuch ho mera dil palat nahi sakta
hajar kuch ho mera dil palat nahi sakta
unhi ki hontho se bekarar chhod gaye
unhi ki hontho se bekarar chhod gaye

isi khayal se to pyar kiya tha dil mera
isi khayal se to pyar kiya tha dil mera
yahi huwa ki wo anjam-e-kar chhod gaye
yahi huwa ki wo anjam-e-kar chhod gaye

mujhe ye gam hai ki meri juban ne kuch na kaha
mujhe ye gam hai ki meri juban ne kuch na kaha
wo to meri diwan-e-gar chhod gaye
wo to meri diwan-e-gar chhod gaye
mere liye wo gam-e-intzar chhod gaye

They left for me the grief of waiting,
Departed, leaving a unique spring's blooming.
They left for me the grief of waiting.

Though a thousand things may happen, my heart cannot turn,
Though a thousand things may happen, my heart cannot turn.
From their lips, a restlessness they left behind,
From their lips, a restlessness they left behind.

It was this thought, this very thought, that my heart loved,
It was this thought, this very thought, that my heart loved.
And thus, they left the consequence of this deed,
And thus, they left the consequence of this deed.

My sorrow is that my tongue spoke nothing,
My sorrow is that my tongue spoke nothing.
Yet, they left my soul's fire, a burning book,
Yet, they left my soul's fire, a burning book.
They left for me the grief of waiting.
