usne pucha tha meri udasi ka sabab,
mene kaha
wo aaine me tasvir ubharti he fir fanna kyu **
jati he,
usne pucha tasvir kiski dikhai deti he tumhe,
mene kaha
na uska naam he na pata fir bhi apna sa lagta
he,
usne kaha kuch guftagu bhi kar ti he tasvir
aapse,
mene kaha
ha magar alfaz nahi hote uske ankho se baat
karti he.
usne kaha kya kehti he uski ankhe mujhe bhi to
kaho
mene kaha
uski ankho me mujhe pyar nazar ata he
unkahi baato ka izhaar nazar ata he.
usne pucha kya ikrar kiya he tum ne usse
mene kaha
me to karta hu koshish-e-ikarar karne ki magar
inkar hi ajata he
usne kaha bade hi wo ** tum ikraar se darte **
mene kaha ikrar se bhala kon darta he me to bas
pyar se darta hu
me to bas pyar se darta hu

Woh bhi kya din thay
Kya thi woh raatay
Hoti thi kitni baatay
Hoti thi kitni mulaqaatay
Na kisi cheez ki parwa thi
Na tha koi darr
Rangeen hoti thi shaamay
Raatoy ko sota tha tumharay kandhay pay rakhkar sar
Ab na woh waqt raha
Na raha ** mahol
Ab kissay guftagu karoon
Ay meri tanhai..tu hi bol
(Urdu and Hindi)

English translation

What days those were
What nights were those
There used to be so many conversations
There used to be so many meetings
We didn't care about nothing
Neither was there any fear
The evenings used to be colourful
In the nights i used to sleep resting my head on your shoulders
Today that time doesn't exist
Neither does that atmosphere
Now with whom do i have a conversation
Oh my loneliness...you only tell

Zindagi mein meri bas tu hi tu hai,  
Har khwab mein meri bas tu hi tu hai.

Har saans mein jo bas gaya hai khushbu banke,  
Us mehka hua jahan mein bas tu hi tu hai.

Mere labon pe tera zikr sada hai,  
Mere har qissa-e-gham mein bas tu hi tu hai.

Chaand ke saath jo guftagu karun raaton mein,  
Wahan bhi mere lafzon mein bas tu hi tu hai.

Jahan nazar uthaoon, tera chehra dikhta hai,  
Har manzar ke rangon mein bas tu hi tu hai.

Zindagi mein meri bas tu hi tu hai,  
Har khwab mein meri bas tu hi tu hai.
