har dil ko dhakdkne ki saza milti hai
har gul ko mehkane ki saza milti hai
dastur zamane ka ajab hai yaaro
bulbul ko chahkne ki saza milti hai

apne jazbaat ko na hak ki saza deta hun
apne jazbaat ko nahak ki saza deta hun
tujhko khat likh ke main takiye me chupa deta hun
apne jazbaat ko na hak ki saza deta hun

puchta hai koi aanjame wafa jo mujhse
puchta hai koi aanjame wafa jo mujhse
dil ke jakhmo ki
dil ke jakhmo ki main tasveer dikha deta hun
dil ke jakhmo ki main tasveer dikha deta hun
apne jazbaat ko na hak ki saza deta hun

muskurakar jo koi pyar ke do bol kahe
muskurakr jo koi pyar ke do bol kahe
uski raho mei
uski raho mai dilo jaha bhi luta deta hun
uski raho mai dilo jaha bhi luta deta hun
apne jazbaat ko na hak ki saza deta hun

kitna maus hai
kitna maus hun main ayehle wafa se gumnaam
kitna maus hun main ayehle wafa se gumnaam
raat hote hi
raat hote hi charago ko bheja deta hun
raat hote hi charoge ko bheja deta hun

tujhko khat likh ke
tujhko khat likh ke main takiye me chupa deta hun
apne jazbaat ko na hak ki saza deta hun

Each heart, it suffers for its beat,
Each bloom, for fragrance, finds defeat.
Strange are the ways of this world's decree,
The nightingale, for song, must meet.

I punish my own, these feelings deep,
I punish my own, the vows I keep.
Writing letters, a secret art,
Hidden 'neath pillows, where sorrows sleep.
I punish my own, these feelings deep.

Should someone ask, the fate of love,
Should someone ask, what waits above,
Of wounds within, a portrait drawn,
A tapestry of hurt, I shove.
I punish my own, these feelings deep.

When love's sweet words, a smile imparts,
When love's sweet words, touch broken hearts,
On paths they tread, my worlds I'd spill,
My all, I give, in scattered parts.
I punish my own, these feelings deep.

How hopeless now, in faith's cold shade,
How hopeless now, where vows have strayed,
As darkness falls, the lamps I quell,
In silent night, a life decayed.
I punish my own, these feelings deep.

Writing letters, a secret art,
Hidden 'neath pillows, where sorrows start.
I punish my own, these feelings deep.
