48  I’m Afraid It’s All A Little Too Late


She says she’d like to see me again
And find it I very hard to explain

And she, who would not even look at me
With me now she says she’d like to be

And she, my offer who’d always decline
Me now she would like to wine and dine

And me, who always she wanted to hide
Now in her salon she’d like to preside

And now she wants to turn off the light
And sit and neck with me all night

So although, SHAIDA, it sounds so great
I’m afraid it’s all a little too late

Wo aanay lagay haen, wo jaanay lagay haen
Ab aa kay mujhay khud manaanay lagay haen

Jo aakhaen churaatay thay, ab mast ho ker
Wo aankhoun say mujh ko pilaanay lagay haen

Jo talchat pilaatay thay, ab aks e rukh say
Wo saaghar mera jagmagaanay lagay haen

Bulaatay na mehfil maen jo thay, mujhay khud
Wo sadr ab bana key bithaanay lagay haen

Humaaghoash khilwat maen honay ki khaatir
Chiraaghoon ko khud hi bijhaanay lagay haen

Kabhee jo na aa’ay jawaan jab thay SHAIDA
Wo aa’ay haen ab, jab wo jaanay lagay haen
