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
Takta hoon tum ko, yeh dil behak jata hai  
Tumhare jalwe mein jahan tham sa jata hai  

Tumhari aankhon ki gehraayi mein doob jata hoon  
Tumhari muskaan pe har dard bhool jata hoon  

Tum chalti ** to hawa gungunane lagti hai  
Tum bolti ** to khamoshi bhi jagti hai  

Yeh dil tumhare lamss ki tamanna liye  
Har lamha teri qurbat ki dua kiye  

Magar tum door **, yeh faasle kyun hain?  
Yeh faaslon mein bhi mohabbat ke geet kyun hain?  

Takta hoon tum ko, aur jeeta hoon tum mein  
Tumhare khwabon mein, aur haqeeqat ke gum mein
