aye dil ye bata ye bata ye bata
kya mujhe ho gaya mai kaha kho gaya
par tujhe kya pata kya pata
aye dil ye bata

maykashi jhuth hai bekhudi jhuth hai
husn bhi baham hai ishk bhi jhuth hai
ab raha kaun sa rashta
aye dil ye bata ye bata ye bata
kya mujhe ho gaya mai kaha kho gaya
par tujhe kya pata kya pata
aye dil ye bata

har hasi jurm hai har khushi jurm hai
kya khabar kisliye jindagi jurm hai
admi se hui kya khata
aye dil ye bata ye bata ye bata
kya mujhe ho gaya mai kaha kho gaya
par tujhe kya pata kya pata
aye dil ye bata

bekashi ke siwa kya raha kuch nahi
mere dil ab mera aasra kuch nahi
kam se kam tu mujhe na sata
aye dil ye bata ye bata ye bata
kya mujhe ho gaya mai kaha kho gaya
par tujhe kya pata kya pata
aye dil ye bata

O heart, now tell, now tell, now tell,
What has become of me? Where have I strayed?
But you, you do not know, do not know,
O heart, now tell.

Intoxication, a lie; selflessness, a lie;
Beauty, a phantom; love, a lie.
Now, which path remains?
O heart, now tell, now tell, now tell,
What has become of me? Where have I strayed?
But you, you do not know, do not know,
O heart, now tell.

Every laugh, a crime; every joy, a crime;
Who knows why life itself is crime?
What wrong has man committed?
O heart, now tell, now tell, now tell,
What has become of me? Where have I strayed?
But you, you do not know, do not know,
O heart, now tell.

Save for helplessness, what remains? Nothing.
My heart, my shelter, now nothing.
At least, do not torment me,
O heart, now tell, now tell, now tell,
What has become of me? Where have I strayed?
But you, you do not know, do not know,
O heart, now tell.
