dillagi hi dillagi me ho gayi nadaniya
zindagi par meri gum ki pad gayi parchhaiya
kya karu jaau kaha

apna begana hua dushman hua sara jaha
apna begana hua dushman hua sara jaha
kaun hai jisko sunau apne gum ki dasta
dillagi hi dillagi me ho gayi nadaniya
kya karu jaau kaha

ek taraf dil ki sada hai ek tarasta bezuba
ek taraf dil ki sada hai ek tarasta bezuba
ek taraf duswariya aur ek taraf ruswaiya
ek taraf duswariya aur ek taraf ruswaiya
had se zyada badh gayi hain ab meri hairaniya
dillagi hi dillagi me ho gayi nadaniya
kya karu jaau kaha

In jest, naiveté took root,
Shadows of sorrow veiled my life, a muted loot.
Where do I turn, what path to choose?

My own, strangers, the world, now foes,
My own, strangers, the world, now foes,
To whom can I pour my grief's woes?
In jest, naiveté took root,
Where do I turn, what path to choose?

On one side, the heart's silent call, a desperate plea,
On one side, the heart's silent call, a desperate plea,
On one side, burdens, on the other, shame's decree,
On one side, burdens, on the other, shame's decree,
Beyond all bounds, my bewilderment now swells free.
In jest, naiveté took root,
Where do I turn, what path to choose?
