kabhi sochte hai unhe hum bhulade
kabhi sochte hai unhe yad karle
kabhi hum judayi ke sadme uthale
kabhi hum akele me fariyad karne
dil ka kya kare sahib
dil ka kya kare sahib hum unhi pe marte hai
dil ka kya kare sahib hum unhi pe marte hai
jurm bas itna hai jurm bas itna hai
jurm bas itna hai jurm bas itna hai
unse pyar karte hai dil ka kya kare sahib
hum unhi pe marte hai dil ka kya kare sahib

bekarari ka dard na jane ye to pagal hai bat na mane
nain milte hi chain kho jaye ek najar me hi ishk ho jaye
samundar se jake kare iltiza agar mauj ho to use mod de
kabhi jan tera lagale lagan ye shisha jo ho to ise tod de
dil ka kya kare sahib
dil ka kya kare sahib hum unhi pe marte hai
jurm bas itna hai jurm bas itna hai
jurm bas itna hai jurm bas itna hai
unse pyar karte hai dil ka kya kare sahib
hum unhi pe marte hai dil ka kya kare sahib

ye wafa kya hai ek dhokha hai par diwano ko kisne roka hai
jhuthe wade hai jhuthi kasme hai log kahte hai jhuthi rasme hai
yaha beasar hai sada ishk hi yaha sab mohabbat me nakam hai
yaha chahto ka gujara nahi ye galiya ye kuche to badnam hai
dil ka are dil ka
dil ka kya kare sahib hum unhi pe marte hai
jurm bas itna hai jurm bas itna hai
jurm bas itna hai jurm bas itna hai
unse pyar karte hai dil ka kya kare sahib
hum unhi pe marte hai dil ka kya kare sahib
dil ka kya kare sahib dil ka kya kare sahib

Sometimes we yearn to erase her,
Sometimes to enshrine her in memory.
Sometimes to embrace the wounds of separation,
Sometimes to wail in solitude.

What can we do with this heart, oh friend?
What can we do with this heart, we die for her,
What can we do with this heart, we die for her?
The only crime, the only crime,
The only crime, the only crime...
Is to love her, what can we do with this heart?
We die for her, what can we do with this heart?

This restlessness, this pain, it knows not, it's mad, it won't listen.
With a glance, peace is lost, love blooms in a single gaze.
It pleads with the ocean, if a wave appears, to turn it back,
It offers its soul to the beloved, if it's glass, to shatter it.

What can we do with this heart, oh friend?
What can we do with this heart, we die for her,
The only crime, the only crime,
The only crime, the only crime...
Is to love her, what can we do with this heart?
We die for her, what can we do with this heart?

What is fidelity but deception? Yet who can restrain the mad?
False promises, false oaths, they say false rituals too.
Here, all is ineffective, only love prevails, here all fail in love.
Here, affection finds no refuge, these lanes, these alleys are infamous.

Oh, the heart!
What can we do with this heart, we die for her,
The only crime, the only crime,
The only crime, the only crime...
Is to love her, what can we do with this heart?
We die for her, what can we do with this heart?
What can we do with this heart? What can we do with this heart?
