‘TIS THE LAST MOMENT, THE LAST SIGHS ARE LOOKING FOR YOU,

Doobtee saa.nse.n, bujhtee nigaahe.n tujhe, Dhoo.nDh rahee hai.n,
GASPING BREATH, BLEARY EYES ARE LOOKING FOR YOU,

MATERIALISE BEFORE ME ONCE,

COME, I’VE BECOME EXTINCT IN YOUR LOVE,

I’VE SACRIFICED BOTH THE WORLDS IN MY DESIRE FOR YOU,

apne badan kee, khaaq milaa dee maine, raah me.n teree,
MY BODY’S DUST, I’VE MINGLED IN YOUR PATH,

ab toh chalee aa iss paar,

FOR AEONS OF TIME, NONE WILL BE ABLE TO ENDURE SO MUCH OF PAIN,

I SWEAR BY YOU, NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO DISCERN THAT YOU BELONG TO SOMEONE,

teree nazar kee, os pa.de toh bujhe pyaas milan kee,
A GLANCE FROM YOUR DEWY EYES WILL SLAKE THE LUST FOR UNION,

tere badan kee, ot miTe toh rahe laaj lagan kee,
IF YOUR BODY GIVES UP THE GHOST, THEN PASSION’S HONOUR WILL BE SERVED,

mil jaaye chayn qaraar...
COMFORT AND PEACE WILL BE ATTAINED,

aajaa, mai.n toh miTaa hoo.n, teree chaah me.n.
COME, I’VE BECOME EXTINCT IN YOUR LOVE,

tujh ko pukaare, mera pyaar hoy,
OH, MY LOVE CRIES OUT FOR YOU,

tujh ko pukaare, mera pyaar,
MY LOVE CRIES OUT FOR YOU,

tujh ko pukaare, mera pyaar.
MY LOVE CRIES OUT FOR YOU.
