Roman script

Rone waalon se kaho

Rone waalon se kaho unka bhi rona ro lein

Rone waalon se kaho unka bhi rona ro lein

Rona ro lein…

Jin ko majboori-e

Jin ko majboori-e haalaat ne rone na diya

Warna kya baat thi kis baat ne rone na diya

Ishq mein ghairat-e jazbaat ne

Rone na diya… Rone na diya…

Warna kya baat thi kis baat ne

Tell the ones who weep…

Tell the ones who weep to weep also on behalf of those

Tell the ones who weep to weep also on behalf of those

… to weep also on behalf of those

The cruel constraints…

The cruel constraints of whose circumstances kept them from weeping

Otherwise, we had every reason to weep, for what else was there to keep us from weeping?

In the path of love, it is the lover’s sense of honour that

Kept us from weeping

Otherwise, we had every reason to weep, for what else was there…

Aap kehte the ke rone se na badlenge naseeb

Aap kehte the ke rone se na badlenge naseeb

 Badlenge naseeb

‘umr bhar aap ki is baat ne rone nah diya

Warna kya baat thi kis baat ne rone na diya

You used to say that tears have no power to change one’s fate

You used to say that tears have no power to change one’s fate

…change one’s fate

All our life, these words of yours kept us from weeping

Otherwise, we had every reason to weep, for what else was there to keep us from weeping?

Ishq mein ghairat-e jazbaat ne

In the path of love, it is the lover’s sense of honour that…

I don’t wanna say goodbye

Oh, let me cry, let me cry, let me cry

Don’t you know how it makes me feel?

Oh, such wounds will never ever heal

We are dying in slow motion

What a way to end an emotion

A reality we never ever realised

Just let me say what I wanna say, or the pain won’t go away

 You’re the only one, and I’m the lonely one

Tujh se mil kar humein

Rona tha bohat rona tha

Bohat rona tha

Tangi-e waqt-e mulaaqaat ne rone naa diya

Warna kya baat thi kis baat ne

We had meant to weep, weep a lot, upon meeting you

…weep a lot…

But the brevity of our meeting kept us from weeping

Otherwise, we had every reason to weep,

For what else was there…
