sarakti jae hai ruKH se naqab aahista aahista
Interesting Fact
Film: Deedar-e-Yaar (1982)
saraktī jaa.e hai ruḳh se naqāb āhista āhista
nikaltā aa rahā hai āftāb āhista āhista
the veil slips from her visage at such a gentle pace
as though the sun emerges from a cloud's embrace
javāñ hone lage jab vo to ham se kar liyā parda
hayā yak-laḳht aa.ī aur shabāb āhista āhista
as she came of age she started to be veiled from me
shyness came to her at once, beauty then slowly
shab-e-furqat kā jaagā huuñ farishto ab to sone do
kabhī fursat meñ kar lenā hisāb āhista āhista
I haven't slept since parting eve, O Angels, I request
I'll settle your accounts at leisure for now let me rest
savāl-e-vasl par un ko adū kā ḳhauf hai itnā
dabe hoñToñ se dete haiñ javāb āhista āhista
on question of our meeting, so scared of rival's she
in soft tones thus replies, her answer whisperedly
vo bedardī se sar kāTeñ 'amīr' aur maiñ kahūñ un se
huzūr āhista āhista janāb āhista āhista
I tell her when she slashes at my neck so cruelly
my dear, take it easy, sweetheart do it properly
sarakti jae hai ruKH se naqab aahista aahista

I haven't slept since parting eve, O Angels, I request
I'll settle your accounts at leisure for now let me rest
sawal-e-wasl par un ko adu ka KHauf hai itna
dabe honTon se dete hain jawab aahista aahista
