Lyrics:

Kahi milti si ankhiyon mein chhupe hue vaado se hum
We seem to find hidden promises in our eyes,
Bin kahe kuchh lamho ko karte hain aadhe se hum
Without saying, we make some moments incomplete.
Har lamhe mein baatein teri meri hoti si hain
In every moment, there seem to be conversations between you and me,
Phir bhi tere saath mein pal mujhe lagte hain kam
Yet, moments with you seem too few.

Door ho tu toh ye saara jahaan
When you are far, this whole world
Yaad teri mein jagaata raha
Keeps me awake in your memory.

Dil dariya ye hawa behaya
This heart is a river, this wind is shameless,
Dheeme se tere naam ki awaaz kare
Softly, it calls out your name.
Mann bhi toh ye pagla hai zara
This mind is also a bit crazy,
Bin baat ke hi pighla hai kare
It melts without any reason.

Kabhi yaad mein teri mera mann yun hi tarsa sa hai
Sometimes, my heart yearns in your memory,
Phir raat se baat ye teri meri karta sa hai
Then, it seems to talk with the night about you and me.
Tere khaab dikha ke ye mann se khele ratiyaan
Showing me your dreams, it plays with my mind at night,
Jis raat me baat nahi dil karta sa hai
In the nights when there is no talk, my heart feels restless.

Tere hi naam raat ka aasmaan
The night sky is named after you,
Taare bhi maange hai dil ka bayaan
Even the stars ask for the heart's expression.
