Khanjar Hain Teri Aankhein
Talwaar Hain Teri Aankhein
Zinda Na Rehne Dengi
Ae Yaar Teri Aankhein

Your eyes are like a dagger
Your eyes are like a sword
They will not let me live
O' beloved eyes of yours

Ae Nargis-e-Mastaana
Allah Tujhe Rakhe
Rehti Hain Tasavvur Mein
Har Baar Teri Aankhein

O' possessor of drunk eyes
God keep you in His preserve
Enduring within my imaginations
O’ forever are eyes of yours

Yeh Bolti Aankhein
Bhi Afsaane Sunaati Hain
Rakhti Hain Zuban Jaise
Ae Yar Teri Aankhein

These talkative eyes
Speak of many tales
As if, they have a voice of their own
O' beloved eyes of yours

Humne Teri Aankoon Mein
Allah Ko Dekha Hai
Iss Par Teri Aankein
Uss Par Teri Aankein

Within your eyes
I have seen the Lord
In every direction
O’ are eyes of yours

Chehre Pe To Ghussa Hai
Aankhoon Mein Muhabbat Hai
Karti Hain Mere Dilbar
Iqraar Teri Aankhein*

On the face anger is exposed
But love is within the eyes of yours
Revealing O’ sweetheart
Unity, are eyes of yours

— Translated by Jamil Hussain, Sung by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Uss Ne Kaha Kaun ** Tum
Main Ne Kaha Hasrat Teri

She asked: Who are you?
I said: Yearnings of your heart

Uss Ne Kaha Takta Hai Kya
Main Ne Kaha Surat Teri

She asked: What do you see?
I said: Beauty of your art

Uss Ne Kaha Chahta Hai Kya
Main Ne Kaha Khidmat Teri

She asked: What do you desire?
I said: To forever serve you

Uss Ne Kaha Pachtaega
Main Ne Kaha Qismat Meri

She said: You might regret
I replied: That’s my luck for you

— Translated by Jamil Hussain, Sung by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

We've laughed
We've cried

We've loved
We've definitely fought some epic fights

We've dreamt
We've planned

We've walked
We've seen some amazing sights

And

We will take on more steps
Journey to faraway lands

Dreaming of the things we'll do together
Make plans to broaden our horizons

We will love with a passion so colossal
That our fights will seem insignificant

We will laugh at all the silly things we do
We will cry at the things that hurt us

We will do all those things and more

*We............

I wasn’t just on your mind
I wasn’t just in your heart
I wasn’t just your thought
I wasn’t just your feelings
I was
On your walls
In your writes
Your glimmering eyes
Your lovely smiles
I was
Your motivation
The reason for your impatience
Your inspiration
The reason of your creations
I was
A part of your soul
What made you whole
The kohl in your hazel eyes
The lows and the highs
I was
Your first kiss
Your fireworks
Your butterfly feelings
Your heart’s beatings
I was
Your first
& last
Your forever
& beyond
I was
The mystery in your eyes
The misery in your cries
The joys in your laugh
The colors in your life
I was
Your summer sunset
Your morning lust
Your late night gossip
Your love of life
&
The love of your life
But perhaps that’s all I am
A ‘was’
A past, history, forgotten

I WAS
