MAGAR WOH NAHIN AAYE

BUT HE NEVER CAME

 

Uss ki intizar sadiyan guzar gaye

magar woh nahin aaye

Uss ki intizar mein kahin saal

guzar gaye magar woh nahin aaye

Uss ki raahein taktei taktei

aankhein tag gayi thi humari

samay guzar tha chala gaya

magar woh nahin aaye

 

Apni dil ko hasaane ki koshish

ki humne magar woh rote rahei

Unn ki yaadon se guzara kiya

humne magar woh nahin aaye

Apni dil ko behlane ki koshish 

kiya humne magar woh behel

nahin gaye samay guzar tha 

chala gaya magar woh nahin aaye

 

Kahin din kahin raatein guzara ki

humne akeile magar woh nahin aaye

Dil rota raha mera uss ki yaad mein

Samay guzarta chala gaya magar

woh nahin aaye

 

Kahin baar aansoo bahaye humne

apni aankhon se magar woh nahin

aaye aaj tak beithi rahin mein uss

ki intizar mein

samay guzarta chala gaya magar

woh nahin aaye

 

Bahaar ka mousam aa kar chala

bhi gaya magar woh nahin aaye

Zindagi ka safar tanha kaati humne

Samay guzarta chala gaya

magar woh nahin aaye

 

Aaj meri seene se eik aah nikalti hai

magar woh nahin aaye

Kal bhi shaayad yehin kahoongi

mein ke samay guzarta chala gaya

magar woh nahin aaye 

 

 

In his awaiting days went past

but he never came

In his awaiting years went past

but he never came

Looking at his paths my eyes

had got tired

Times went past but he never came

 

I tried to make my heart laugh

but my heart kept on crying

I spent time with his memories

but he never came

I tried to make my heart happy

but my heart did not get happy

Times went past but he never came

 

Somenights somedays i spent alone

but he never came

My heart kept on crying in his

memories times went past 

but he never came

 

a lot of the times i poured tears 

from my eyes but he never came

I awaited sitting for him until today

Times went past but he never came

 

The season of spring came and went

but he never came 

I spent the travel of life all alone

Times went past but he never came

 

Today from my chest a sigh 

is breathed out but he never came

Tomorrow i might say the same thing

that times wnt past but he never came
