1/3: teer

meri khaleja mein teer Daalke

bismil karte hai

aur tabeeb bankar

khudi marham lagaate hai

(s)he hurts me, piercing

arrows into my heart

and then (s)he heals it,

applying the balm

2/3: teer

dushmanon ke saath

mere dost bhi aazaad hai

dekhna hai kheenchta hai

mujh pe pehla teer kaun

my friends too

like my enemies…are free

i have to see who

shoots the first arrow at me

3/3: teer

kalkatte ka jo zikr kiya

tu ne hum-nasheen

ek teer mere seene

pe mara, ke hai

when you mentioned Kolkata

oh my dear friend

you shot an arrow

straight into my heart
