chandi ki divar na todi, pyar bhara dil tod diya
ik dhanavan ki beti ne, nirdhan ka daman tod diya
chandi ki

kal tak jisane qasame khai, dukh me sath nibhane ki
aj vo apane sukh ki khatir, ho gai ik begane ki
shahanaiyo ki guj me dabake, rah gai ah divane ki
dhanavano ne divane ka, gam se rishta jod diya
ik dhanavan ki beti ne, nirdhan ka daman tod diya
chandi ki

ye kya samajhe pyar ko jinaka, sab kuchh chandi sona hai
dhanavano ki is duniya me, dil to ek khilauna hai
sadiyo se dil tutata aya, dil ka bas ye rona hai
jab tak chaha dil se khela, aur jab chaha tod diya
ik dhanavan ki beti ne, nirdhan ka daman tod diya
chandi ki

She didn't shatter silver walls, but shattered love's own heart,
A wealthy maiden's act, tore the poor man's world apart.
Of silver.

Yesterday she swore an oath, to share life's every pain,
Today, for her own joy, she chose a stranger's gain.
Drowned within the wedding's chime, the lover's mournful strain,
The rich, they bound the lover, to sorrow's bitter start,
A wealthy maiden's act, tore the poor man's world apart.
Of silver.

What knows of love their kind, who treasure gold and gleam?
In this rich world of theirs, the heart's a fleeting dream.
For centuries hearts have broken, it seems the heart's sole theme,
They played until they tired, and then tore it all apart,
A wealthy maiden's act, tore the poor man's world apart.
Of silver.
