TUN NA AAYA..!
YOU DIDN'T COME..!

Shaam dhal gayi phir raat woh loat aayi, par tun na aaya

Nazar dar par phir gayi abh toe aankh bhi bhar gayi, par tun na aaya

 Evening is finished and again that night has come, yet you didn’t come

Tear filled eyes stared at the door, but you didn't come

Andheri raat mei sanatei gunjate hue tere bare mein puchtei hein

Dar-O-Deewar bhi puchtei hein ronak woh saari kanha gayi kyon tun na aaya

In the darkness of night even the empty echoes of air  ask about you

The doors and walls ask where has that happiness gone, why you didn’t come

 

Palkein bichi hui hein aaj bhi uun galiyon unn rastoe par

Vakt guzar raha hei hawa bhi soe baar gujar gayi par tun na aaya

Even today my eyes are looking at those roads and streets

Time is passing on, the breeze has passed a hundred times yet you didn’t come

 

Na din mei nazaaron ki kami hei na raat mein sitaron ki kami hei

Phir bhi fikei lagtei hei mausam laali inki udd gayi kyonki tun na aaya

Neither has the beauty of the day decreased nor the stars at night

Yet the seasons looks dull the color has faded because you didn’t come

Uss vakt har phool har patta tere mere afsaane gata tha

Aaj nahi koi mujhe pehchanta yanhi puri apni kahani hui par tun na aaya

At that time each flower and each leaf used to talk about us

Today no one knows me, here finishes the story of you and me but you didn’t come
