diya humne dil, diya humne dil tumko apna samajhkar
na jana sanam tum bade aadmi ho
diya humne dil tumko apna samajhkar
na jana sanam tum bade aadmi ho
ki ye dillagi hogi dilbar tumhari
lutenge to hum tum bade aadmi ho, diya humne dil

socha tha basengi dil mein najare tumhari
socha tha basengi dil mein najare tumhari
chhoti si kahi pe hogi duniya humari
par kya mila ab meri zindgi ko
ki yun hi nahi tumse darta hai ye dil
tumhari kasam tum bade adami ho, diya humne dil

main hun wo shama jalti hai jo gali mein
main hun wo shama jalti hai jo gali mein
mehalo mein aake kaise lagungi bhali main
soche yahi kya karu apne ji ko
ke hum hai zamin aur tum asman ho
mile kaise hum tum bade aadmi ho
diya humne dil tumko apna samajhkar
na jana sanam tum bade aadmi ho, diya humne dil

We offered our heart, believing you were one of us,
Not knowing, my love, you are a man of stature.
We offered our heart, believing you were one of us,
Not knowing, my love, you are a man of stature.
That this fondness would be, beloved, a fleeting game,
We would be plundered, for you are a man of stature, we offered our heart.

I dreamt your gaze would dwell within my heart,
I dreamt your gaze would dwell within my heart,
And a small world, our own, would bloom somewhere apart.
But what has my life received in return?
That this heart trembles, not without reason,
I swear by you, you are a man of stature, we offered our heart.

I am that humble lamp, burning in the lane,
I am that humble lamp, burning in the lane,
How can I thrive, brought to your palatial domain?
Let me ponder, or let my spirit take its course,
We are earth, and you are a man of stature,
How could we ever meet, you a man of stature?
We offered our heart, believing you were one of us,
Not knowing, my love, you are a man of stature, we offered our heart.
