Na tum hamė jaano

Na tum hamė jaano
Na ham tumhe jaane
Magar lagtaa hai kuch aisaa
Meraa hamdam mil gayaa

Ye mausam ye raat chup hai
Ye hoṭhȯ kee baat chup hai
Khamoshee sunaane lagee
hai dastaan
Nazar ban gayee hai
dil kee zabaan
Na tum hamė jano
Na ham tumhe jaane
Magar lagtaa hai kuch aisaa
Meraa hamdam mil gayaa

Mohabbat ke moṛ pe ham
mile sabko chhoṛke ham
Dhaṛakte dilo ka leke
ye kaarvaan
Chale aaj dono jaane kahaa
Na tum hamė jano
Na ham tumhe jaane
Magar lagtaa hai kuch aisaa
Meraa hamdam mil gayaa

You do not know me, and I do not know you, yet it seems like I have found a soulmate in you.

The place is quiet, and even our thoughts are still. Silence is telling this story. Our gaze is now the heart’s reflection.

On the crossroads of love, we met and left all behind. Enjoying this caravan of throbbing hearts. We both proceed into an unknown place.

Baat ek raat ki (1962); Hemant Kumar, Suman Kalyanpur
