तेरे   लिये
For you
तेरे   लिये ,
हम   हैं   जिए ,
होंठों   को   सिए
For you,
I have lived
lips sewn.
तेरे   लिये ,
हम   हैं   जिए ,
हर   आँसू   पिए
For you
I have lived
all tears swallowed.
दिल   में   मगर ,
जलते   रहे ,
चाहत   के   दिये
तेरे   लिये ,  तेरे   लिये  …
In the hearth, however,
continue burning
the lamps of desire
for you, for you …
तेरे   लिये ,
हम   हैं   जिए ,
हर   आँसू   पिए
तेरे   लिये ,
हम   हैं   जिए ,
होंठों   को   सिए
For you
I have lived
all tears swallowed.
For you,
I have lived
lips sewn.
दिल   में   मगर ,
जलते   रहे ,
चाहत   के   दिये

In the hearth, however,
continue burning
the lamps of desire
for you, for you …
ज़िन्दगी ,  ले   के   आई   है
बीते   दिनों   की   किताब   [ x2 ]
घेरे   हैं ,  अब   हमें
यादें   बे-हिसाब
Life has brought with it
the chronicle of days past [x2]
Countless memories
have surrounded us now
बिन   पूछे ,  मिले   मुझे
कितने   सारे   जवाब !
चाहा   था   क्या ,  पाया   है   क्या
हम   ने   देखिये
Without asking, I received
so many answers!
Look at what I had desired
and what I have received.
दिल   में   मगर ,
जलते   रहे ,
चाहत   के   दिये
तेरे   लिये ,  तेरे   लिये  …
In the hearth, however,
continue burning
the lamps of desire
for you, for you …
क्या   कहूँ ?
दुनिया   ने   किया
मुझ   से   कैसा   बैर ?  [ x2 ]
हुकुम   था
मैं   जिऊँ
लेकिन   तेरे   बग़ैर
What (can) I say?
What kind of malice
the world bore to me? [x2]
There was a command
for me to live,
but without you.
नादाँ   हैं   वो ,  कहते   हैं   जो
मेरे   लिये   तुम   हो   ग़ैर ।
कितने   सितम ,  हम   पे ,  सनम ,
लोगों   ने   किए !
How ignorant are, those who say
that you are a stranger to me.
How many injustices, beloved,
people did on us!
दिल   में   मगर ,
जलते   रहे ,
चाहत   के   दिये
तेरे   लिये ,  तेरे   लिये  …
In the hearth, however,
continue burning
the lamps of desire
for you, for you …
तेरे   लिये ,
हम   हैं   जिए ,
होंठों   को   सिए
तेरे   लिये ,
हम   हैं   जिए ,
हर   आँसू   पिए
For you,
I have lived
lips sewn.
For you
I have lived
all tears swallowed.
दिल   में   मगर ,
जलते   रहे ,
चाहत   के   दिये
तेरे   लिये ,  तेरे   लिये  …  [ x3 ]
In the hearth, however,
continue burning
the lamps of desire
for you, for you … [x2]
