lyrics

Original Urdu followed by English translation:

Hosh

Choopa do is hosh seh
Simut lo aghosh meh

Zehen ho khamosh reh
Simut lo aghosh meh

Loot gayi kis josh meh
Simut lo aghosh meh

Duniya ke afsos meh
Simut lo aghosh meh

Awareness

Shield me from this awareness
Hold me close in your arms

Let my mind be still
Hold me close in your arms

I am lost in madness
Hold me close in your arms

I feel the pain of the world
Hold me close in your arms
