kitne dino se man mein liye teri baate
sapno mein tere kaate, din ye maare maare
kitne dino se liye, teri hi ye yaade
bite nahin din ye, jaagi jaagi raatein
tu hi tu hai, tu hi tu hai
tu hi mera jiya ho
tu hi tu hai, tu hi tu hai
tu hi mera jiya

chahe na chahe tu batlaaye na
dil ke is bandhan ko dikhlaaye na
chahe na chahe tu batlaaye na
dil ke is bandhan ko dikhlaaye na
pichhe pichhe sab chhupaye na
keh du sach hai ab ye tanhaiya
tu hi tu hai, tu hi tu hai
tu hi mera jiya ho
tu hi tu hai, tu hi tu hai
tu hi mera jiya

chah kar bhi paas mere tu aaye na
na rehkar dur bhi jeeya jaaye na
chah kar bhi paas mere tu aaye na
na rehkar dur bhi jeeya jaaye na
julfo se tere khele purwaiya
aakhon mein dekh
bhula du ruswaiya ho
tu hi tu hai, tu hi tu hai
tu hi mera jiya ho
tu hi tu hai, tu hi tu hai
tu hi mera jiya

For how long has my heart carried your words,
In dreams, the thorns of your absence tear, days lost and forlorn.
For how long have I held your memories,
Days pass not, and nights are awake, awake.
You alone, you alone,
You are my very life.
You alone, you alone,
You are my very life.

Whether you wish it or not, you do not say,
Do not reveal this bond of the heart.
Whether you wish it or not, you do not say,
Do not reveal this bond of the heart.
Hide no more, keep nothing concealed,
Let me speak the truth of this solitude.
You alone, you alone,
You are my very life.
You alone, you alone,
You are my very life.

Though I yearn for it, you do not come near,
And neither can I live, far from you.
Though I yearn for it, you do not come near,
And neither can I live, far from you.
The wind plays now with your tresses,
Gazing into your eyes,
I will let go of all sorrows.
You alone, you alone,
You are my very life.
You alone, you alone,
You are my very life.
