vo jo milte the kabhi ham
vo jo milte the, kabhi ham se diwano ki tarah
aaj yun milte hai, jaise kabhi pahchan na thi
vo jo milte the kabhi ham

dekhte bhi hai to, yu meri nigaho me kabhi
ajnabi jaise mila, karte hai raho me kabhi
is qadar unki nazar, ham se to ajan na thi
vo jo milte the, kabhi hamse diwano ki tarah
aaj yun milte hai, jaise kabhi pehchan na thi
vo jo milte the kabhi

ek din tha kabhi yuhi, jo machal jate the
khelate the meri zulfon se bahal jate the
vo pareshan the meri zulf pareshan na thi
vo jo milte the kabhi

vo mohabbat vo shararat mujhe yaad aati hai
dil me ek pyar ka tufan utha jati thi
thi magar aisi to ulajhan me meri jaan na thi
vo jo milte the kabhi, ham se diwano ki tarah
aaj yu milte hai, jaise kabhi pehchan na thi
vo jo milte the kabhi

They who met us, once,
Like lovers lost in a dream,
Now pass, as if no trace was left,
They who met us, once.

They glance, their eyes a fleeting brush,
Like strangers in a crowded street,
Their gaze, once intimate, held no secret from us,
They who met us, like lovers lost in a dream,
Now pass, as if no trace was left,
They who met us, once.

A time when they would yearn for me,
Play with my tresses, in playful glee,
Their distress, then, my hair’s disquiet, knew me,
They who met us, once.

That love, that mischief, stirs a ghost,
A tempest in my heart, forever embossed,
Yet such a maze, my soul then, knew no cost,
They who met us, like lovers lost in a dream,
Now pass, as if no trace was left,
They who met us, once.
