This moment may not be in your destiny again.

Pas Aiye Ke Hum Nahin, Ayenge Bar Bar,

Come near, as we will not have this chance over and over.
Bahein Gale Mein Dal Ke, Hum Ro Lein Zar Zar,
With your arms around my neck, let us weep deeply together.
Ankhon Se Phir Yeh Pyar Ki, Barsat Ho Na Ho,
These tears of love may never rain from our eyes again.
Shayad Phir Is Janam Mein, Mulaqat Ho Na Ho,
