LEKIN BADAL GAYA YEH MAUSAM
AND THE WEATHER CHANGED

Na roshan huyi raat chaandani ki roshani se

Na chamak uthi raath sitaron ki timtimaane se

Lekin badal gaya yeh mousam sirf aap ke aane se

 

Na khil utha chamann kaliyon ki muskaane se

Na mehek utha gulshann phoolon ki khil jaane se

Lekin badal gaya yeh mousam sirf aap ke aane se

 

Na badal gaya samaan bulbul ki gaane se

Na badal gaya samaan barish ki bharsaane se

lekin badal gaya yeh mousam sirf aap ke aane se

 

Na roshan huyi raat chaandani ki roshani se

Na chamak uthi raath sitaron ki timtimaane se

Lekin badal gaya yeh mousam sirf aap ke aane se

The night did not lighten up because of  the beam of the moon

The night did not sparkle because of  the twinkling stars

But the weather changed only when you came

 

The garden did not grow because of  the smiles of the flowers

The garden did not mingle by the growing of the flowers

But the weather changed only when you came

 

The weather did not change when the swallows sang

The weather did not change with the drops of rain

But the weather changed only when you came

 

The night did not lighten up because of  the beam of the moon

The night did not sparkle because of  the twinkling stars

But the weather changed only when you came
