कैसा है ग़म बोलो न तुम होंठो से
हैरान है हम हुवे क्यूँ तुम गैरों से
कैसा है ग़म बोलो न तुम होंठो से
न तुम हो बेवफ़ा न मैं भी हूँ
फिर भी है हम जुदा में क्या कहूँ
न जाने वक़्त की मर्ज़ी है क्या
क्यूँ है मिली ये दूरियाँ
ओ मेरी जाँ
ओ मेरी जाँ
ओ मेरी जाँ
तेरे बिन जो दिन आया
काटे न वो कट पाया
कमी तेरी खल सी जाती है
तेरे बिन जो शाम आयी
बढ़ी दिल की तन्हाई
मेरी आँखें भर सी जाती है
कुछ तुम मुझ से खफा
कुछ मैं भी हूँ
है क्या इस की वजह मैं क्या कहूँ
न जाने वक़्त की मर्ज़ी है क्या
क्यूँ है मिली ये दूरियां
ओ मेरी जाँ
ओ मेरी जाँ हा
ओ मेरी जाँ हा उ वो ओ
ओ मेरी जाँ हा
तुझे दिल से था चाहा
तू ही तो न मिल पाया
ख़ुशी मुझ को छल सी जाती है
मेरा तू था सरमाया
तुझे पाके न पाया
यही बातें चुभ सी जाती है
तन्हा तेरी तरह हाँ में भी हूँ
दोनों है ग़म ज़दा मैं क्या कहूँ
न जाने वक़्त की मर्ज़ी है क्या
क्यूँ है मिली ये दूरियां
ओ मेरी जाँ
ओ मेरी जाँ
ओ मेरी जाँ हा
ओ मेरी जाँ हा

हैरान है हम हुवे क्यूँ तुम गैरों से
We are surprised, why did we become strangers to each other?
कैसा है ग़म बोलो न तुम होंठो से
What kind of sorrow is it, you don't say it with your lips?
न तुम हो बेवफ़ा न मैं भी हूँ
Neither are you unfaithful nor am I.
फिर भी है हम जुदा में क्या कहूँ
But still we are separated, what should I say?
न जाने वक़्त की मर्ज़ी है क्या
Who knows what is the will of time?
क्यूँ है मिली ये दूरियाँ
Why did this distance come between us?
ओ मेरी जाँ
O my life
तेरे बिन जो दिन आया काटे न वो कट पाया
The day that came without you, it couldn't pass smoothly.
कमी तेरी खल सी जाती है
Your absence creates a void.
तेरे बिन जो शाम आयी बढ़ी दिल की तन्हाई
The evening that came without you, increased loneliness in my heart.
मेरी आँखें भर सी जाती है
My eyes get filled with tears.
कुछ तुम मुझ से खफा कुछ मैं भी हूँ
You are upset with me, and I am with you too.
है क्या इस की वजह मैं क्या कहूँ
What is the reason for this, what should I say?
तुझे दिल से था चाहा तू ही तो न मिल पाया
I loved you from my heart, but still couldn't get you.
ख़ुशी मुझ को छल सी जाती है
Happiness seems to deceive me.
मेरा तू था सरमाया तुझे पाके न पाया
You were my dream, but still couldn't attain you.
यही बातें चुभ सी जाती है
These things still hurt me.
तन्हा तेरी तरह हाँ में भी हूँ
I am also alone like you.
दोनों है ग़म ज़दा मैं क्या कहूँ
Both of us are always in sorrow, what should I say?
ओ मेरी जाँ
O my life

The amount of emotions put into singing this song can only happen due to 2 reasons. Either you are deeply in love or you have god gifted vocals. Goodbye KK. Thank you. Rest in peace. You never left and never will.
