bahe na kabhi nain se nir
uthi ho chaahe dil me peer
babre yahi preet ki reet
babre yahi preet ki reet
bahe na kabhi nain se nir
uthi ho chaahe dil me peer
babre yahi preet ki reet
babre yahi preet ki reet

aashaye mit jaaye to mit jaaye
dil ki aahe kabhi na baahar aaye
aashaye mit jaaye to mit jaaye
dil ki aahe kabhi na baahar aaye
kabhi na baahar aaye
bhari ho hotho par muskaan
na koi le dil ko pahchaan
isi me hai re teri jeet
babre yahi preet ki reet

dipak jale bhawan me rahe patanga van me
preet khich kar layi use jalaya chhan me
dipak jale bhawan me rahe patanga van me
preet khich kar layi use jalaya chhan me
jalan ka use kaha tha hosh
pyaar ka chadha hua tha josh
ga rahi duniya uske geet
babre yahi preet ki reet
bahe na kabhi nain se nir
uthi ho chaahe dil me peer
babre yahi preet ki reet
babre yahi preet ki reet

No tear shall fall from the eye,
Though the heart may deeply sigh.
This, o fool, is love's decree,
This, o fool, is love's decree.
No tear shall fall from the eye,
Though the heart may deeply sigh.
This, o fool, is love's decree,
This, o fool, is love's decree.

Hopes may fade, and disappear,
But the heart's lament, none shall hear.
Hopes may fade, and disappear,
But the heart's lament, none shall hear,
None shall hear.
Upon the lips, a smiling grace,
No one reads the heart's embrace.
In this, true victory we meet,
This, o fool, is love's decree.

The lamp burns bright within the hall,
The moth is drawn, beyond the wall.
Love's pull, it brought it to the flame,
Consumed it in a fiery game.
The sting of fire, it did not know,
Love's fervor made its spirit glow.
The world now sings its burning feat,
This, o fool, is love's decree.
No tear shall fall from the eye,
Though the heart may deeply sigh.
This, o fool, is love's decree,
This, o fool, is love's decree.
