chale to kaT hī jā.egā safar āhista āhista
ham us ke paas jaate haiñ magar āhista āhista
Endure and the journey will end, gradually O’ slowly
We move to be ever so near but gently O’ slowly
abhī tāroñ se khelo chāñd kī kirnoñ se iThlāo
milegī us ke chehre kī sahar āhista āhista
For now, play with the stars and pace with moonlit rays
You will meet manifestation of her dawn gradually O’ slowly
darīchoñ ko to dekho chilmanoñ ke raaz to samjho
uTheñge parda-hā-e-bām-o-dar āhista āhista
Observe the windows and know the mystery of curtains
Secrecy of wall and terrace will be no more, gradually O’ slowly
zamāne bhar kī kaifiyat simaT aa.egī sāġhar meñ
piyo un añkhḌiyoñ ke naam par āhista āhista
State of time has poured into a wine-cup
Drink in the honour of those eyes but gradually O’ slowly
yūñhī ik roz apne dil kā qissa bhī sunā denā
ḳhitāb āhista āhista nazar āhista āhista
Just like that, one day reveal the tale of your heart
Conveying softly O’ slowly, glancing secretly O’ slowly
