बहुत दिन गुज़रे तेरी याद में 

तुझसे मिलने की फ़रियाद में 

आखें भी रही थी नॅम

था साथ मेरे बस तेरा गम..

How it is read:

Bahut din guzrey teri yad mein 

Tujhse milne ki fariyad mein

Aankhein bhi rahi thi nam

Tha sath mere bas tera gam..

English Translation:

Many days passed by in your memory

In the hope and prayer to meet you

Eyes were also wet

What remained with me-only your grief (grief of separation)…
