Bedardi baalmaa tujhko meraa man yaad kartaa hai
Barastaa hai jo ààkho se wo saawan yaad kartaa hai
Kabhee ham saath gujare jin sajeelee raah gujaaro se
Fizaa ke bheṣh mè girte hài ab patte chanaaro se
Yeh raahe yaad kartee hài, yeh gulshan yaad kartaa hai
Koyee Jhòkaa hawaa kaa jab meraa àànchal uṛaata hai
Gumaan hotaa hai jaise too meraa daman hilaataa hai
Kabhee chumaa thaa jo tune wo daaman yaad kartaa hai
Wo hi Hai jhil ke mandar wo hi kirno kee barsaate
Jahaa ham tum kiyaa karte the paharò pyaar kee baate
Tujhe is jheel kaa khaamosh darpaǹ yaad kartaa hai
O unfeeling human, my heart thinks of you; The tears that flow from my eyes are for you.
On the paths that we moved on once upon a time. Leaves are falling now, announcing the autumn season. Even those paths remember you, and so does this garden.
Whenever a gust of wind makes my clothes flutter, I feel you are shaking the end of my ‘dupatta’. The ‘dupatta’ that you had kissed has memories of you.
The celestial tree by the lake is the same, and so are the cascades of rays Where we used to talk about love for a long time. The silent mirror of this lake has memories of you.
