Teri Umeed Tera Intezaar Jab Se Hai

Teri Umeed Tera Intezaar Jab Se Hai,
Na shab ko din se shikaayat, Na din ko shab se hai...
---------------------------------------------
This hope, this wait for you - that I now have,
The night and the day no longer complain about each other...
---------------------------------------------



Kisi ka dard ho karte hain tere naam raqam,
Gilaa hai jo bhi kisi se tere sabab se hai...
---------------------------------------------
The pain from one and all - in your name I register,
You are the reason for all my complaints about any other...
---------------------------------------------



Huwaa hai jab se dil-e-naa'saboor be-qaaboo,
Kalaam tujh se nazar ko bare adab se hai...
---------------------------------------------
Ever since this impatient heart has turned unrestrained,
This gaze addresses you with a new respect altogether...
---------------------------------------------



Agar sharar hai to bharke, jo phool hai to khile,
Tarah tarah ki talab tere rang-e-lab se hai...
---------------------------------------------
That which is a spark - turns wild, the blossom - blooms,
Your lips' color arouses desires of one kind or another...
---------------------------------------------



Kahaan gaye shab-e-furqat ke jaagne-waale,
Sitaara-e-sahari hum kalaam kab se hai...
---------------------------------------------
Where are those gone - who would stay awake through the night of separation?
The morning star alone converses - it seems forever...
---------------------------------------------
