Aaj Phir Aaine Ne Poocha Hai
Today, the mirror asked me again,
Teri Aankhon Mein Yeh Nami Kyun Hai?
why do you have moisture (tears) in your eyes?
Kyun Sisakti Hai Teri Tanhai?
Why does your solitude sob?
Yeh Adhuri Si Zindagi Kyun Hai?
Why is life incomplete?
Aaj Phir Aaine Ne Poocha Hai
Teri Aankhon Mein Yeh Nami Kyun Hai?


Kya Mila Tujh Ko Wafaon Ka Sila?
What did you gain in return for your faithfulness (love)?
Kya Mila Tujh Ko Is Zamaane Se
What did you gain from this world?
Woh Tau Hai Patthar Ke Yun Na Pighalenge
He is a rock/stone, he will not melt so.
Faida Kya Hai Dil Jalane Se
What is the point of inflaming your heart?
Jab Andhera Hai Tere Seene Mein
When there is darkness within your chest,
Saari Duniya Mein Roshni Kyun Hai
why is the entire world illuminated?
Aaj Phir Aaine Ne Poocha Hai
Teri Aankhon Mein Yeh Nami Kyun Hai?


Jin Ki Har Zid Ko Zindagi Jaana
He, who's every stubborn impulse you considered to be life,
Jin Ki Har Baat Banayi Tu Ne
He, for whom you made excuses,
Un Ke Seene Mein Na-Ehsaas Na De
there is no awareness within his chest (heart).
Haye Kyun Aas Lagai Tu Ne?
O why did you hold out hope?
Jin Ki Chahat Mein Khud Ko Bhool Gaye
In who's desire/love you've lost yourself
Un Ki Chahat Mein Yeh Kami Kyun Hai?
Why is there such a deficit in his desire/love?
Aaj Phir Aaine Ne Poocha Hai
Teri Aankhon Mein Yeh Nami Kyun Hai?


Saath Chalte Hai, Phir Bhi Saath Nahin
We walk together, yet we are not together
Un Ki Aankhon Mein Woh Jazbaat Nahin
His eyes don't have those emotions
Sirf Ehsaas Hai Ke Zinda Hai
I'm only aware that I am living
Zindagi Jaisi Koi Baat Nahin
but it's not anything like life.
Sangdil Be-Reham Zamaane Mein
In such a stone-hearted, merciless world
Itna Majboor Aadmi Kyun Hai?
is man so helpless? 
Aaj Phir Aaine Ne Poocha Hai
Teri Aankhon Mein Yeh Nami Kyun Hai?
Kyun Sisakti Hai Teri Tanhai?
Yeh Adhuri Si Zindagi Kyun Hai?
Aaj Phir Aaine Ne Poocha Hai
Teri Aankhon Mein Yeh Nami Kyun Hai?
