dil tadap kar rah gaya
dil tadap kar rah gaya
hasrat machal kar rah gayi, rah gayi
dekhte hi dekhte duniya badal kar rah gayi
dekhte hi dekhte duniya badal kar rah gayi
dil tadap kar rah gaya
hasrat machal kar rah gayi, rah gayi

dil ki barbadi pe hum aansu baha kar rah gaye
dil ki barbadi pe hum aansu baha kar rah gaye
apni majburi pe kismat hath mal kar rah gayi
apni majburi pe kismat hath mal kar rah gayi
dil tadap kar rah gaya
hasrat machal kar rah gayi, rah gayi

ab khushi kaisi labo par muskurahat ab kaha
ab khushi kaisi labo par muskurahat ab kaha
zindgani dard ke
zindgani dard ke sanche me dhal kar rah gayi
dil tadap kar rah gaya

The heart, it throbbed, and then was stilled,
The heart, it throbbed, and then was stilled.
Desire, it writhed, then softly chilled,
And in that gaze, the world was willed,
To change before my eyes, and then was stilled.
The heart, it throbbed, and then was stilled.
Desire, it writhed, then softly chilled.

On the ruins of my heart, I wept,
On the ruins of my heart, I wept.
Fate, in its powerlessness, just crept,
And wrung its hands, where sorrows slept.
The heart, it throbbed, and then was stilled.
Desire, it writhed, then softly chilled.

What joy remains, what smile to find?
What joy remains, what smile to find?
Life's essence now, I'm resigned,
To pain's cold mold, forever bound.
The heart, it throbbed, and then was stilled.
