mahiyaa re maahiya ek baar bahe sau baar bahe
ab sookh gaye mere naina ek baar bahe sau baar bahe
ab sookh gaye mere naina naina
ek baar bahe sau baar bahe ab sookh gaye mere naina
rajj rajj ke bahain rag rag se bahein

ab rooth gaye ji naina o naino mein sapna jal gaya haan mera
jo rooh kaari kar gaya woh gehra
daag na chhoote mahiya re tera
daag na chhute mahiya
naino mein sapna jal gaya haan mera
daag laga ji so laga yeh maila
daag na chhute mahiya re tera
daag naa chhoote mahiya
unn galiyon ki chaubaaron ki
uss mitti ki woh yaadein aayein
yaadein

unn galiyon ki chaubaron ki
uss mitti ki woh yaadein
aksar aankhein kar jaati hain
unn tasveeron se baatein
yaadon ki inn lehron ko
chaahun mill jaaye thikana
yeh kaagaz wali kashtiyan
chaahun main paar lagana
par dil darta hai phir se kahin
saawan aaye na

daag na chhoote mahiya
ve tera daag na chhute mahiya
naino mein sapna jal gaya haa mera
jo rooh kaari kar gaya woh gehra
daag na chhute mahiya ve tera
daag na chhute mahiya

My love, my love,
Once flowed, a hundred times it flowed, now dry, my eyes,
Once flowed, a hundred times it flowed, now dry, my eyes,
Once flowed, a hundred times it flowed, my comfort now gone, my eyes.
Drenched and drenched they flowed, from every vein they flowed, now angry, my eyes.
Oh, in my eyes, a dream burned, yes, mine,
That which blackened the soul, it was so deep,
The stain will not leave, my love, your stain will not leave.

In my eyes, a dream burned, yes, mine,
The stain that it left, it clings, this filth,
The stain will not leave, my love, your stain will not leave.
Of those lanes, those courtyards, of that earth, those memories, memories,
Of those lanes, those courtyards, of that earth, those memories,
Often my eyes converse with those images.
Of these waves of memories, I wish they would find a resting place.

These paper boats, I wish to sail them across,
But the heart fears, lest again, the monsoon comes,
The stain will not leave, my love, your stain will not leave.
In my eyes, a dream burned, yes, mine,
That which blackened the soul, it was so deep,
The stain will not leave, my love, your stain will not leave, my stain will not leave.
