tum khubsurat ho tum hasi ho
magar maf karna tum wo nahi ho
jo yad aati hai magar aati nahi aati nahi
samne hai par najar aati nahi aati nahi
yad aati hai magar aati nahi aati nahi
samne hai par najar aati nahi aati nahi
aati nahi aati nahi

aaj tak maine use dekha nahi
aaj tak maine use dekha nahi
aaj tak usne mujhe dekha nahi
nind fir bhi rat bhar aati nahi aati nahi
samne hai par najar aati nahi aati nahi
aati nahi aati nahi

khat kayi aate hai mere nam ke ho mere nam ke
khat kayi aate hai mere nam ke
har khat sunta hu mai dil tham ke haye dil tham ke
par koi uski khabar aati nahi aati nahi
samne hai par najar aati nahi aati nahi
aati nahi wo aati nahi

in andhero me ujalo me kabhi
in andhero me ujalo me kabhi
milti hai jab wo khyalo me kabhi, khyalo me kabhi
karti hai wada magar aati nahi aati nahi
samne hai par najar aati nahi aati nahi
yad aati hai magar aati nahi aati nahi
samne hai par najar aati nahi aati nahi
aati nahi aati nahi aati nahi wo aati nahi

You are beauty, you are laughter, light,
But, forgive me, you are not the one,
Who haunts the memory, yet never comes, never comes.
Present, yet unseen, never seen, never seen.
Remembered always, yet never comes, never comes.
Present, yet unseen, never seen, never seen.
Never comes, never comes.

I have never seen her face,
I have never seen her face.
She, too, has never seen me.
Still, sleep comes not all night long, never comes, never comes.
Present, yet unseen, never seen, never seen.
Never comes, never comes.

Letters arrive in my name, yes, in my name,
Letters arrive in my name.
Each I read, heart held tight, oh heart held tight,
But no tidings of her ever come, never comes.
Present, yet unseen, never seen, never seen.
Never comes, never comes.

In these shadows, in these gleams, sometimes,
In these shadows, in these gleams, sometimes,
She appears, within my dreams, sometimes, sometimes,
Promises made, but she never comes, never comes.
Present, yet unseen, never seen, never seen.
Remembered always, yet never comes, never comes.
Present, yet unseen, never seen, never seen.
Never comes, never comes, never, she never comes.
