Hum Ne Sanam Ko Khat Likha [English translation]

Humei bas ye pataa hain wo, bahot hee khubasoorat hai

Lifaafe ke liye lekin pate kee bhee jarurat hai

Hum ne sanam ko khat likhaa, khat mein likhaa

Aye dilarubaa, dil kee galee, shahar-ye-wafaa

Pahunche ye khat jaane kahaa, jaane bane kyaa daastaan

Us par rakeebon kaa ye dar, lag jaaye unake haath agar

Kitanaa buraa anjaam ho, dil muft mein badanaam ho

Ayesaa naa ho, ayesaa naa ho, apane khudaa se raat din

Maangaa kiye hum ye duwaan

Peepal kaa ye pattaa nahee, kaagaj kaa ye tukadaa nahee

Is dil kaa ye aramaan hai, is mein humaaree jaan hai

Ayesaa gajab ho jaaye naa, raste mein ye kho jaaye naa

Hum ne badee taakeed kee, daalaa ise jab daak me

Ye daakabaaboo se kahaa

Barason jawaaba-ye-yaar kaa, dekhaa kiye hum raastaa

Yek din wo khat waapas milaa, aaur dakiye ne ye kahaa

Is daakakhaane mein nahee, saare jamaane mein nahee

Koee sanam is naam kaa, koee galee is naam kee

Koee shahar is naam kaa
