Main aur meri tanhaai aksar yeh baatein karte hain

Tum hoti to kaisa hota, tum yeh kehti, tum voh kehti

Tum is baat pe hairaan hoti, tum us baat pe kitni hansti

Tum hoti to aisa hota, tum hoti to vaisa hota

Main aur meri tanhaai aksar yeh baatein karte hain

Yeh raat hai, yeh tumhaari zulfein khuli hui hai

Hai chaandni ya tumhaari nazrein se meri raatein dhuli hui hai

Yeh chaand hai ya tumhaara kangan

Sitaarein hai ya tumhaara aanchal

Hawa ka jhonka hai ya tumhaare badan ki khushboo

Yeh pattiyon ki hai sarsaraahat ke tumne chupke se kuch kaha hai

Yeh sochta hoon main kab se gumsum

Ke jab ki mujhko bhi yeh khabar hai

Ke tum nahin ho, kahin nahin ho

Magar yeh dil hai ke keh raha hai

Ke tum yahin ho, yahin kahin ho

Main aur meri tanhaai aksar yeh baatein karte hain
My loneliness and I often have these conversations

Tum hoti to kaisa hota, tum yeh kehti, tum voh kehti
How would it have been if you were here? You would say this, you would say that.

Tum hoti to kaisa hota, tum yeh kehti, tum voh kehti

Tum is baat pe hairaan hoti, tum us baat pe kitni hansti
This would surprise you, that would make you laugh so much

Tum hoti to aisa hota, tum hoti to vaisa hota
If you were here, then this would happen, if you were here, then that would happen.

Main aur meri tanhaai aksar yeh baatein karte hain

Yeh raat hai, yeh tumhaari zulfein khuli hui hai
Is this the night, or is your hair open? (comparing the darkness of her hair to the night)

Hai chaandni ya tumhaari nazrein se meri raatein dhuli hui hai
Is this the moonlight, or are my nights hazy from your eyes? (comparing the brightness of her eyes to the moonlight)

Yeh chaand hai ya tumhaara kangan
Is this the moon or is it your bangle?

Sitaarein hai ya tumhaara aanchal
Are those the stars or is it your scarf?

Hawa ka jhonka hai ya tumhaare badan ki khushboo
Is that a gust of wind, or is it the fragrance of your body?

Yeh pattiyon ki hai sarsaraahat ke tumne chupke se kuch kaha hai
Is it the sarsaraahat of the pattiyon, or did you say something quietly? (I think pattiyon is tracks, train tracks… :/)

Yeh sochta hoon main kab se gumsum
I've been thinking quietly for so long

Ke jab ki mujhko bhi yeh khabar hai
When even I know

Ke tum nahin ho, kahin nahin ho
that you are not here, you are not anywhere

Magar yeh dil hai ke keh raha hai
But it's this heart that is saying

Ke tum yahin ho, yahin kahin ho
that you are here, you are here somewhere
