Khabar-e-Tahayyur-e-Ishq Lyrics

Roman script

Khabar-e-tahayyur-e-ishq sun
Khabar-e-tahayyur-e-ishq sun
Na junoon raha na pari rahi
Na toh tu raha na toh main raha
Jo rahi so be-khabari rahi
Khabar-e-tahayyur-e-ishq sun
Khabar-e-tahayyur-e-ishq sun
Listen to confounding story of love
Neither obsession nor beauty remained
Neither you remained nor I remained
Only unawareness remained
Listen to confounding story of love
Chali samt-e-ghaib se ik hawa
Chali samt-e-ghaib se ik hawa
Ke chaman zahur ka jal gaya
Chali samt-e-ghaib se ik hawa
Ke chaman zahur ka jal gaya
Magar ek shakh-e-nihal-e-gham
Magar ek shakh-e-nihal-e-gham
Jise dil kahe so hari rahi
Na toh tu raha na toh main raha
Jo rahi so be-khabari rahi
Khabar-e-tahayyur-e-ishq sun
Khabar-e-tahayyur-e-ishq sun
A wind blew from the invisible world
And scorched the garden of appearances
But on the branch of grief's tree, one bud
Let's call it the heart, remained green
Listen to confounding story of love
Woh ajab ghadi thi ke jis ghadi
Woh ajab ghadi thi ke jis ghadi
Liya dars nuskha-e-ishq ka
Woh ajab ghadi thi ke jis ghadi
Liya dars nuskha-e-ishq ka
Jo kitab aql ki taaq par
Jo kitab aql ki taaq par
So vahin dhari thi ki dhari rahi
Na toh tu raha na toh main raha
Jo rahi so be-khabari rahi
Khabar-e-tahayyur-e-ishq sun
Khabar-e-tahayyur-e-ishq sun
It was a wondrous moment when
I learned a lesson from love's treatise
The book of intellect that was lying on a shelf
Remained there unopened
Neither you remained nor I remained
Only unawareness remained
Listen to confounding story of love
