sunsaan jamana ka kinara pyar ka antim sahara
chandani ka kafan odha so raha kismat ka mara
kisse puchhu mein bhala ab dekha kahi mumtaz
meri bhi ek mumtaz thi meri bhi ek mumtaz thi

patharon ki ot mein mahaki huyi
tahaaiya kuch nahi kahti
daliyon ki jhumti aur dolti
parchhaiya kuch nahi kahti
khelti sahil pe lahare le rahi
angdaaiyan kuch nahi kahti
ye jan ke chup chap hai mere mukaddar ki tarah
humne to inke samne khola tha dil ke raaz ko
kisse puchhu mein bhala ab dekha kahi mumtaz
meri bhi ek mumtaz thi meri bhi ek mumtaz thi

ye zameen ki god mein kadamon ka
dhundhala sa nishan khamosh hain
ye ruka pahla aasmaan madhyam
sitaron ka jahan khamosh hain
ye khubsurat raat ka khilta hua
gulshan jawan khamosh hain
ranginiya madhosh hai apni khushi mein dubkar
kis tarah inko sunaau ab meri aawaz ko
kisse puchhu mein bhala ab dekha kahi mumtaz
meri bhi ek mumtaz thi meri bhi ek mumtaz thi
meri bhi ek mumtaz thi meri bhi ek mumtaz thi

Where Yamuna's desolate shore finds love's final hold,
Lies, draped in moonlight's shroud, fate's story told.
Whom shall I ask, now, if Mumtaz they've seen?
Mine too, a Mumtaz, once, mine too, a queen.

Behind stone's veiled embrace, scents softly bloom,
Solitudes whisper not, within the silent tomb.
Branches sway, their shadows dance and bend,
But echoes of solace, they do not extend.
Waves caress the shore, in playful ease,
Their languid sighs, bring no release.
They know, and yet they keep their silence deep,
As fate does mine, the secrets that I keep.
We bared our souls to them, our hearts laid bare,
Whom shall I ask, now, if Mumtaz they've seen?
Mine too, a Mumtaz, once, mine too, a queen.

In earth's embrace, faint footprints softly fade,
A silent trace, a memory made.
The first, still sky, its stars dimmed in the night,
A world of stars, hushed in pale light.
This beautiful night, a blossoming space,
A youthful garden, its beauty to embrace.
Colors enraptured, lost in their own delight,
How can I now, my sorrow make them feel the plight?
Whom shall I ask, now, if Mumtaz they've seen?
Mine too, a Mumtaz, once, mine too, a queen.
Mine too, a Mumtaz, once, mine too, a queen.
