tu mere saath chal na payegi
tu mere saath chal na payegi
jab meri raah teri raah se milti hi nahi
phir mera sath nibhane ki zarurat kya hai
apni masum tamannaao ko raibar na bana
khwab phir khwab hai labo ki haqikat kya hai
ye nai raah tujhe raas nahi aayegi
tu mere saath chal na payegi
tu mere saath chal na payegi

maine mana ki tujhe mujhse mohabbat hai magar
meri gurbat teri chahat ka dila kya degi
apni meharumi e kismat se pareshan hu mai
bebasi ashq e nadamat ke siva kya degi
waqt ki dhup me har chiz jhulas jayegi
tu mere saath chal na payegi
tu mere saath chal na payegi
tu mere saath chal na payegi

You cannot walk beside me, no, you cannot.
When my path diverges from yours, irrevocably,
What need is there for you to walk with me at all?
Do not make your innocent desires a wasteland.
Dreams remain dreams, what truth resides on the lips?
This new road will not suit you, believe me.
You cannot walk beside me, no, you cannot.

I know, I acknowledge, you hold love for me,
But my poverty, what can it offer your heart?
I am weary of my deprived fate, utterly.
Helplessness, tears of regret, these are all I own.
In the sun's scorching embrace, all will wither.
You cannot walk beside me, no, you cannot.
You cannot walk beside me, no, you cannot.
