dard apna likh na paye ungaliya jalti rahi
dard apna likh na paye ungaliya jalti rahi
rasmo ke pehre me dil ki chithiya jalti rahi
dard apna likh naa paye ungaliya jalti rahi

zindagi ki mehfile sajati rahi har pal magar
zindagi ki mehfile sajati rahi har pal magar
mere kamare me meri tanhayiya jalti rahi
tanhayiya jalti rahi
dard apna likh naa paye ungaliya jalti rahi

barisho ke din gujre garmiya bhi kat gayi
barisho ke din gujre garmiya bhi kat gayi
puchh mat hamse ki kaise sardiyan jalti rahi
sardiyan jalti rahi
dard apna likh naa paye ungaliya jalti rahi

tum to badal the hame tumse badi ummid thi
tum to badal the hame tumse badi ummid thi
udd gaye bin barse tum bhi bastiya jalti rahi
bastiya jalti rahi
dard apna likh naa paye ungaliya jalti rahi
rasmo ke pehre me dil ki chithiya jalti rahi
dard apna likh naa paye ungaliya jalti rahi

Unable to pen my pain, my fingers burned,
Unable to pen my pain, my fingers burned.
Within the walls of custom, heart's letters yearned,
Unable to pen my pain, my fingers burned.

Life's gatherings bloomed in endless display,
Life's gatherings bloomed in endless display,
Yet in my room, my solitudes held sway,
Unable to pen my pain, my fingers burned.

Rainy days departed, summers took their flight,
Rainy days departed, summers took their flight,
Ask not how winters burned throughout the night,
Winters burned throughout the night,
Unable to pen my pain, my fingers burned.

You were the cloud, from you, great hope we drew,
You were the cloud, from you, great hope we drew,
You flew away, unpouring, while the villages knew,
Villages knew, they burned anew,
Unable to pen my pain, my fingers burned.
Within the walls of custom, heart's letters yearned,
Unable to pen my pain, my fingers burned.
