abhi se kaise kahun tum ko bewafa sahab
abhi to apne safar ki hai ibtida sahab

how can i call you unfaithful already
when this is only the beginning of our journey, sahab

na jaane kitne laqab de raha hai dil tum ko
huzur jaan-e-wafa aur ham-nawa sahab

my heart is bestowing so many titles upon you,
lord, life of my faith, the one who speaks with me, sahab

tumhaari yaad mein tare shumar karti hun
na jaane khatm kahan ho ye silsila sahab

i count the stars in your memory
who knows where this series will end, sahab

kitab-e-zist ka unwan ban gae ho tum
hamare pyar ki dekho ye intiha sahab

you have become the title of the book of life
such is the extent of my love, sahab

tumhaara chehra mere aks se ubharta hai
na jaane kaun badalta hai aaina sahab

your face rises out my reflection
who knows who changes the mirror, saheb

rah-e-wafa mein zara ehtiyat lazim hai
har ek gam pe hota hai hadsa sahab

a little caution is necessary on the path of loyalty
at every steps an accident takes place, sahab

siyah raat hai mahtab ban ke aa jao
ye 'indira' ke labon par hai iltija sahab

come, like the moon on a dark night
this is the entreaty on indira's lips, sahab
