āñkheñ khulīñ to jaag uThīñ hasrateñ tamām

us ko bhī kho diyā jise paayā thā ḳhvāb meñ

as my eyes did ope my yearnings did rebound

for I lost the person who in my dreams I found

aankhen khulin to jag uThin hasraten tamam

us ko bhi kho diya jise paya tha KHwab mein

as my eyes did ope my yearnings did rebound

for I lost the person who in my dreams I found
