aurat ke dil par kya guzre
insaan bhalaa kya jaane
aurat ke dil par kya guzre
insaan bhalaa kya jaane
birhan ki kutiya kyon roye
bhagwaan bhalaa kya jaane
aurat ke dil par kya guzre
insaan bhalaa kya jaane

din raat kisi ka tadpe jigar
us bedardi ko kya hai khabar
din raat kisi ka tadpe jigar
us bedardi ko kya hai khabar
kyon lenren apna sar dhunti
chattaan bhalaa kya jaane
aurat ke dil par kya guzre
insaan bhalaa kya jaane

taaron mein udaasi chhaai hai
masoom raat ghabraai hai
taaron mein udaasi chhaai hai
masoom raat ghabraai hai
kyon jalti chitaa aahen bhar kar
shamshaan bhalaa kya jaane
aurat ke dil par kya guzre

A soul, a cry, a woman's heart,
What passes there, a man can't impart.
A soul, a cry, a woman's heart,
What passes there, a man can't impart.
Why the lonely hut weeps, a mournful sound,
What God knows, on hallowed ground?
A soul, a cry, a woman's heart,
What passes there, a man can't impart.

Day and night, a heart in pain does beat,
That heartless one, their knowledge incomplete.
Day and night, a heart in pain does beat,
That heartless one, their knowledge incomplete.
Why waves in sorrow, their heads do bow?
What stone knows, the ocean's woe?
A soul, a cry, a woman's heart,
What passes there, a man can't impart.

The stars above, with sadness gleam,
Innocent night, a frightened dream.
The stars above, with sadness gleam,
Innocent night, a frightened dream.
Why the burning pyre sighs and sighs?
What the cremation ground knows, behind its eyes?
A soul, a cry, a woman's heart,
Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.
