na kisi ki aankh ka noor hu
na kisi ki aankh ka noor hu
na kisi ke dil ka karar hu
jo kisi ke kaam na aa sake
main wo ek mushthe gubar hu
na kisi ki aankh ka noor hu

na to main kisi ka habib hu
na to main kisi ka rakib hu
jo bigad gaya wo nasib hu
jo ujad gaya wo dayar hu
na kisi ki aankh ka noor hu

mera rang roop bigad gaya
mera yaar muhjse bichhad gaya
jo chaman fiza se ujad gaya
main usi ki fasle bahar hu
na kisi ki aankh ka noor hu

pay fatiha koi aaye kyo
koi char phool chadhaye kyo
koi aake shamma jalaye kyo
main wo bekasi ka majar hu
na kisi ki aankh ka noor hu
na kisi ke dil ka karar hu
jo kisi ke kaam na aa sake
main wo ek mushthe gubar hu
na kisi ki aankh ka noor hu.

I am the dust, unseen by any eye,
Unloved by hearts that yearn and sigh.
A useless speck, of no avail,
I am the dust that cannot wail.
Unseen by any eye.

I am not lover, nor a foe,
A destiny that went below,
A ruin left, a vacant space,
Unseen by any eye's embrace.

My form is marred, my beauty fled,
My love has left, forever dead.
A garden lost to winter's chill,
I am the spring that cannot fill.
Unseen by any eye.

Why pray for me, recite the verse?
Why lay the blooms upon my hearse?
Why light a candle in the gloom?
I am a nameless, lonely tomb.
Unseen by any eye,
Unloved by hearts that yearn and sigh.
A useless speck, of no avail,
I am the dust that cannot wail.
Unseen by any eye.
