ha shama jo jalti hai parwane aa hi jate hai
hum apni aag me khud ko jalaye jate hai
dil ka fasana koi na jana dil ka fasana koi na jana
apni khushi me yaha jhume zamana
apni khushi me yaha jhume zamana
dil ka fasana koi na jana

thandi hawaye hawaye thandi hawaye aag lagaye
dil ka tadpna tadpna dil ka tadpna kisko dikhaye
dard purana koi bhi na jana
apni khushi me yaha jhume zamana
dil ka fasana koi na jana
dil ka fasana fasana dil ka fasana

o ho humne chakaur bankar har anjuman me dhunda
humne gubara bankar har ek ban me dhunda
apne watan se bahar apne watan me dhunda
dil ne kaha hai kaha hai dil ne kaha hai dilbar yaha hai
tu hi bata de bata de tu hi bata de aakhir kaha hai
raaz suhana koi bhi na jana
apni khushi me yaha jhume zamana
dil ka fasana koi na jana
dil ka fasana fasana dil ka fasana

tum jisko dhundte ho use dhundte hai hum
jane kaha gaya meri mehfil ka wo sanam
dono jaha me dhund chuke aapki kasam
birha ki mari mari birha ki mari mai kya batau
duniya tumhari tumhari duniya tumhari mai kya batau
pyar nibhana koi bhi na jane
apni khushi me yaha jhume zamana
dil ka fasana koi na jana
dil ka fasana fasana dil ka fasana

The moth, drawn to the flame, inevitably arrives,
While in our own fire, we consume ourselves, survives.
The heart's tale, none comprehend, none truly know,
In their fleeting joy, the world puts on a show,
In their fleeting joy, the world puts on a show.
The heart's tale, none comprehend, none truly know.

Cool breezes, cool breezes, ignite the core,
Whom do we show this heart's anguish and its sore?
Old pain, no one will ever truly find,
In their fleeting joy, the world is intertwined.
The heart's tale, none comprehend, none truly know,
The heart's tale, the tale, the heart's tale.

We, like the Chakor, in every gathering sought,
We, like the balloon, in every forest, thought.
Outside our homeland, within our land we sought,
The heart cries out, cries out, the heart cries where?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, where is she, where?
The sweet secret, no one will ever know,
In their fleeting joy, the world continues to grow,
The heart's tale, none comprehend, none truly know,
The heart's tale, the tale, the heart's tale.

You seek whom we also seek with all our soul,
Where has vanished, my beloved, beyond control?
We've searched both worlds, I swear this is true,
Crushed by separation, oh, what shall I do?
The world, your world, your world, what can I say?
Love's true devotion, no one knows the way.
In their fleeting joy, the world puts on display,
The heart's tale, none comprehend, none truly stay,
The heart's tale, the tale, the heart's tale.
