Music has the capability to cross language and national boundaries. Here are the English lyrics of a famous Urdu pop rock song, so everyone may also enjoy it. Cues are added in parentheses “()” to help non-speakers stay aligned with the lyrics while listening and enjoy the song fully.
The original song (recorded in 1999) is available on Spotify and YouTube. A newer version, combining elements of classical and pop music is also worth checking out.
The translation is far from perfect. An attempt has been made to capture the theme and message of the lyrics, in contrast to translating literally. Any feedback is more than welcome. Enjoy!

My dear
(duur…)
Far
Faar
(duur say…)
From far away someone arrives
In my heart somehow secretly
Makes a home
My dear
(duur…)
Far, Faaar
Far, Faaar
(duur say…)
From far away someone arrives
In the heart somehow secretly
Makes a home
My dear
(duur…)
Far, Faaar
Far, Faaar
(daikhain…)
When those eyes look at me
I get lost
Entering through the eyes
I make my way to the heart
(kuch keh…)
Unable to say a word
Unable to hear a sound
My life without the one
Is like an abandoned town
(duur…)
Far, Faaar
Far, Faaar
(surajh…)
Made from the rays of the sun
Are your looks
This face of yours
Is the light of my life
(aankhain…)
Your eyes are my rivers
Your lashes, the banks
Alone in a million sorrows
Is this poor heart of mine
(duur…)
Far, Faaar
Far, Faaar
