Kaun hai jo mere kaanau mein aa kar
Ek bahar ka paigam de gaya,
Kaun hai woh jo is veerane dil ko
Mohabbat ki rah dikha gaya,
Yuh toe aaram say zindgi guzar rahi thi,
Yeh kaun, kahan se aakar dilbar bana gaya.

Zindgi gamheen nahi thi, na hi gammoh se bharpur,
Khuda ka diya sab kuch tha,  per dil mein tanhai bhi thi,
Logon mein ghire rehtei thai hum raat din
Per dilbar ki baahon ka nasha na tha nasseb;
Yeh chupke se kaun aa gaya, kahan se
Ki un baahon ke bina hi nasha sa cha gaya.
 

Who was it that came and whispered into my ears,
That spring was on its way,
Who was it that came into this lonely heart
And pointed out the path to Love,
Life was going along smoothly till now,
Then who, from where, came and made me his beloved.

Life wasn't blissful nor was it filled with pain,
Had almost everything that God could give, even loneliness of the heart,
Used to be surrounded by people night and day,
But knew not the passion of a beloved's arms.
Then who has come quietly, from where,
And I feel the passion, even without his arms..
