Üsküdar'a gider iken aldı da bir yağmur euskedudara gider iken alda da bir ya'moor On the way to Uskudara, it suddenly started to rain
Kâtibimin setresi uzun eteği çamur kaatibimin setresi uzun ete'i chamur My handsome katib's coat was long, and its hem became muddy
عشق کنارہ تو تھا یارا 'ishq kanaarah tu tha yaara You were my shore, my beloved
عشق کنارہ تو 'ishq kanaarah tu You were my shore
عشق کنارہ تو تھا یارا 'ishq kanaarah tu tha yaara You were my shore, my beloved
عشق کنارہ تو 'ishq kanaarah tu You were my shore
دیکھ کے تجھ کو زندہ تھی میں dekh ke tujh ko zinda thi main I lived for the sight of you
نین نظارہ تو nain nazaarah tu The very vision of my eyes was you
میری ساری تنہائی میں پیار سہارا تو meri saari tanhaai men pyaar sahaara tu In all my loneliness, my one hope of love was you
عشق کنارہ تو تھا یارا 'ishq kanaarah tu tha yaara You were my shore, my beloved
عشق کنارہ تو 'ishq kanaarah tu You were my shore
عشق کنارہ تو تھا یارا 'ishq kanaarah tu tha yaara You were my shore, my beloved
عشق کنارہ تو 'ishq kanaarah tu You were my shore
میں تیری باتوں میں کھو جاتی تھی main teri baaton men kho jaati thi In your words, I would lose myself
پھر تیرے جیسے ہی ہو جاتی تھی phir tere jaise hi ho jaati thi Lose all sense of myself until there was nothing but you
سپنے تیرے اوڑھے سو جاتی تھی sapne tere oṛhe so jaati thi I would go to sleep wrapped in your dreams
جانے کھونے سے میں کیا پاتی تھی jaane khone se main kya paati thi I wonder what I would gain by losing myself in you?
عشق کنارہ تو تھا یارا 'ishq kanaarah tu tha yaara You were my shore, my beloved
عشق کنارہ تو 'ishq kanaarah tu You were my shore
عشق کنارہ تو تھا یارا 'ishq kanaarah tu tha yaara You were my shore, my beloved
عشق کنارہ تو 'ishq kanaarah tu You were my shore
کچے دھاگوں جیسے یہ ناتے ہیں kacche dhaagon jaise yih naate hain The bond between us is like a fragile thread
پر لگتے ہی پنچھی اڑ جاتے ہیں par lagte hi panchhi uṛ jaate hain As soon as they grow wings, birds leave their nest
جیون میں یہ لمحے کیوں آتے ہیں jeewan men yih lamhe kyoon aate hain Why is life filled with these flimsy moments?
کیا یہ سوچا جیتا یا ہارا تو kya yih socha jeeta ya haara tu Have you ever thought whether you won or lost?
عشق کنارہ تو تھا یارا 'ishq kanaarah tu tha yaara You were my shore, my beloved
عشق کنارہ تو 'ishq kanaarah tu You were my shore
عشق کنارہ تو تھا یارا 'ishq kanaarah tu tha yaara You were my shore, my beloved
عشق کنارہ تو 'ishq kanaarah tu You were my shore
دیکھ کے تجھ کو زندہ تھی میں dekh ke tujh ko zinda thi main I lived for the sight of you
نین نظارہ تو nain nazaarah tu The very vision of my eyes was you
میری ساری تنہائی میں پیار سہارا تو meri saari tanhaai men pyaar sahaara tu In all my loneliness, my one hope of love was you
کتنا جاگی سوئی عشق اندر میں kitna jaagi soyi 'ishq andar main I passed restless nights in the path of love
ہنستے ہنستے روئی عشق اندر میں hanste hanste royi 'ishq andar main My laughter turned to tears in the path of love
اب آ کے کھوئی ہوں عشق اندر میں ab aa ke khoyi hoon 'ishq andar main I've now lost myself in the path of love
Üsküdar'a euskeudara Uskudara
Üsküdar'a gider iken aldı da bir yağmur euskeudara gider iken alda da bir ya'moor On the way to Uskudara, it suddenly started to rain
Kâtibimin setresi uzun eteği çamur kaatibimin setresi uzun ete'i chamur My handsome kaatib's coat is long, and its hem became muddy
Eteği çamur ete'i chamur Its hem became muddy
عشق کنارہ 'ishq kanaarah You were my shore
عشق کنارہ تو تھا یارا 'ishq kanaarah tu tha yaara You were my shore, my beloved
