Jis galee me teraa ghar

Jis galee me teraa ghar na ho baalamaa
Us gali se hame to guzaranaa nahee
Jo ḍagar tere dvaare se jaatee na ho
Us ḍagar par hame paav rakhanaa nahee

Zindagi me kaee ragaraliyàà sahee
Jar taraf muskuraatee ye galiyàà sahi
Khoobasoorat bahaaro kee kaliyàà sahee
Jis chaman me tere pag me kààṭe chubhe
Us chaman se hame phool chunanaa nahee

Haa, ye rasame ye kasame sabhee toṛ ke
Too chalee aa chunar pyaar kee oṛh ke
Yaa chalaa jaaugaa mai ye jag chhor ke
Jis jagah yaad teree sataane lage
Us jagah ek pal bhee thaharanaa nahee

Any street on which your house does not stand, my beloved; is not a street that I want to pass through. Any path that doesn’t lead to your door, is not a path that I will set foot on.

In life, I have had many colorful celebrations, Everywhere I look, I see smiling flower buds. And many beautiful views of springtime. But that garden in which a thorn pierces your feet…Any garden in which a thorn pricks your feet is not a garden that I will pick any flower from.

Yes, these traditions, these promises… break them all, And run to me, flying the shawl of love in the air, Or else I will leave this world behind, And that place where your memories torment me…That place where your memories torment me, I will not linger there for one second.
