Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Urdu/Hindi lyrics:



dil kaa... soona saaz... taraanaa Dhoo.nDhegaa,
THE MELODY, THE SILENT CHORD OF THE HEART WILL SEEK,

dil kaa soona saaz, taraanaa Dhoo.nDhegaa,
THE MELODY, THE SILENT CHORD OF THE HEART WILL SEEK,

teer-e-nigaah-e-naaz, nishaanaa Dhoo.nDhegaa,
THE MARK, THE DARTS OF THE ALLURING EYES WILL SEEK,

mujh ko mere baad zamaanaa, Dhoo.nDhegaa
AFTER I’M GONE, ‘TIS ME THE WORLD WILL SEEK.

dil kaa soona saaz, taraanaa Dhoo.nDhegaa,
THE MELODY, THE SILENT CHORD OF THE HEART WILL SEEK,

teer-e-nigaah-e-naaz, nishaanaa Dhoo.nDhegaa,
THE MARK, THE DARTS OF THE ALLURING EYES WILL SEEK,

arre mujh ko mere baad, zamaanaa Dhoo.nDhegaa
HEY, AFTER I’M GONE, ‘TIS ME THE WORLD WILL SEEK.

dil kaa soona saaz , taraanaa Dhoo.nDhegaa....
THE MELODY, THE SILENT CHORD OF THE HEART WILL SEEK...


log mere Khwaabo.n ko churaake, Dhaale.nge afsaano.n me.n,
BY ROBBING MY DREAMS, THE PEOPLE WILL SHAPE THEM INTO FABLES,

mere dil kee aag ba.nTegee, duniyaa ke parwaano.n me.n,
MY HEART’S PASSION WILL BE DISTRUBUTED AMONG THE WORLD-LOVERS,

waqt mere geeto.n kaa, khazaanaa Dhoo.nDhegaa,
THE TREASURE OF MY SONGS, THE TIME WILL SEEK.

dil kaa soona saaz, taraanaa Dhoo.nDhegaa,
THE MELODY, THE SILENT CHORD OF THE HEART WILL SEEK,

teer-e-nigaah-e-naaz, nishaanaa Dhoo.nDhegaa...
THE MARK, THE DARTS OF THE ALLURING EYES WILL SEEK....


saathee mujh ko yaad karenge, bheegi bheegi shaamo.n me.n,
COMPANIONS WILL REMEMBER ME ON THE WET, MISTY EVENINGS,

lekin ek maasoom sa dil bhee, inn saare hangaamo.n me.n,
BUT AMONG ALL THIS DIN, ONE INNOCENT-LIKE HEART

chup chup ke rone ka, bahaana dhoo. ndhegaa,
FOR WEEPING SECRETLY, AN EXCUSE HE’LL SEEK

dil ka soona saaz taraana dhoo.ndhegaa
THE MELODY, THE SILENT CHORD OF THE HEART WILL SEEK,

teer-e-nigaah naaz nishaana dhoo.ndhegaa.....
THE MARK, THE DARTS OF THE ALLURING EYES WILL SEEK....


HO~~~HO, HO, HO~~~


aas kaa sooraj saath rahegaa, jab saa.nso.n kee raaho.n me.n,
WHEN THE SUN OF HOPE THE PATHS OF BREATHS WILL ACCOMPANY,

gham ke a.ndhere, chhaT jaaye.nge, ma.nzil hogee baa.nho.n me.n,
SCATTERED WILL BE THE DARKNESS OF GLOOM, WITHIN REACH WILL BE THE GOAL,

pyaar dha.dakte dil kaa, Thikaanaa Dhoo.nDhegaa,
THE DESTINATION OF THE BEATING HEART, THE LOVE WILL SEEK.

dil kaa soona saaz, taraanaa Dhoo.nDhegaa,
THE MELODY, THE SILENT CHORD OF THE HEART WILL SEEK,

teer-e-nigaah-e-naaz, nishaanaa Dhoo.nDhegaa,
THE MARK, THE DARTS OF THE ALLURING EYES WILL SEEK,

arre mujh ko mere baad zamaanaa, Dhoo.nDhegaa
HEY, AFTER I’M GONE, ‘TIS ME THE WORLD WILL SEEK.

dil kaa soona saaz , taraanaa Dhoo.nDhegaa.
THE MELODY, THE SILENT CHORD OF THE HEART WILL SEEK.

NASIR.
