dil ko laga ke bhul se dil ka nisha mita diya
dil ka nisha mita diya
humne bhari bahar me apna chaman jala diya
apna chaman jala diya

duniya ki har jafa sahi kuch bhi magar na kah sake
duniya ki har jafa sahi kuch bhi magar na kah sake
humne wafa ke naam par jo kuch bhi tha luta diya
jo kuch bhi tha luta diya

shikwa kisi se kya kare marzi hai ye nasib ki
shikwa kisi se kya kare marzi hai ye nasib ki
chaha jise mita diya chaha jise bana diya
dil ka nisha mita diya

leke falak ke chand ko koi kare to kya kare
leke falak ke chand ko koi kare to kya kare
apna bhi ek chand tha duniya ne jo chhupa diya
duniya ne jo chhupa diya

kis ko khabar thi pyar me jal jal ke khak honge hum
kis ko khabar thi pyar me jal jal ke khak honge hum
khak ka kya jaha mili jisko mili uda diya
jisko mili uda diya

Having bound the heart, by folly's hand, erased the heart's trace,
erased the heart's trace.
Within the blooming spring, our own garden we consumed,
our own garden we consumed.

Though the world's harshness endured, yet we could not speak,
though the world's harshness endured, yet we could not speak.
In devotion's name, all that we possessed, we squandered,
all that we squandered.

Why complain to another, when fate decrees thus?
Why complain to another, when fate decrees thus?
Whom it willed, it erased; whom it willed, it created,
erased the heart's trace.

Having brought the moon to the heavens, what more can one do?
Having brought the moon to the heavens, what more can one do?
Our own moon, the world concealed and hid away,
the world hid away.

Who knew that in love's fire, we would burn to dust?
Who knew that in love's fire, we would burn to dust?
What is dust's fate? The world offered, then scattered,
then scattered.
