हो तुम इतने दिन बाद मिले, तुम इतने दिन कहा रहे

हो तुम इतने दिन बाद मिले, तुम इतने दिन कहा रहे
Oh, we met after so many days, where were you all this time?

जान के क्यू अंजान बने, कोई उससे क्या कहे
You knew, but acted like you didn't, what can someone say?

तुमने है जाना नही, हमे पहचाना नही
You didn't recognize us, we didn't recognize you.

बड़े अफ़सोस की है बात, मिले तो मिलाया भी नही हाथ
It's a matter of great regret that even after meeting, we couldn't hold hands.

बैठे हो आँख चुराके, देखो तो आँख मिलाके
Sitting with eyes stealing glances at each other, finally our eyes meet.

हमको है क्या शिकायत, खुद पूछो तो पास बुलाके
What complaint do we have? Ask yourself and call us close.

कोई नही था वो तुम ही थे, कोई नही था वो हम ही थे
That someone who wasn't there, it was you, and that someone who wasn't there, it was us.

हम तुम मे दोस्ती थी सिने में आग सी थी
We had friendship between us, there was a fire in the heart.

जाने वो दिल्लगी थी, या दिल की लगी थी
Who knows whether it was just a love affair or a deep connection of the heart.
