1/4: thaam

ulTi ik haath se

naqaab unki

ek se apne dil ko

thaam liya

with one hand

i lifted her veil

with the other

i held my heart

2/4: thaam

naala-e-bulbul-e-shaidaa

to suna hans hans kar

ab jigar thaam ke baiTho

meri baari aayi

the nightingale’s passionate lament

you heard and laughed it off

now hold your heart and listen

it is my turn now

3/4: thaam

hamaare aage tera jab

kisu ne naam liya

dil-e-sitam-zada ko hum ne

thaam thaam liya

when someone mentioned

your name in front of me

i held and grasped my

tormented, afflicted heart

4/4: thaam

main zakhm kha ke gira tha

ki thaam us ne liya

muaaf kar ke mujhe

inteqaam us ne liya

i had fallen wounded

when he picked and held me

forgiving me

he took his revenge
