diya tune naiya ko kaisa sahara, diya tune
diya tune naiya ko kaisa sahara
idhar na bhanwar hai udhar na kinara
idhar na bhanwar hai udhar na kinara
diya tune naiya ko kaisa sahara, diya tune

idhar maa ki mamta se bharpur dil hai
idhar maa ki mamta se bharpur dil hai
udhar farz aisa ke majbur dil hai
udhar farz aisa ke majbur dil hai
idhar dil ki duniya udhar duniyadari
idhar bhi udhar bhi mukaddar ne mara
idhar na bhanwar hai udhar na kinara
diya tune naiya ko kaisa sahara, diya tune

agar mukuraye to roti hai aankhe
agar mukuraye to roti hai aankhe
ke chun chun ke moti piroti hai aankhe
ke chun chun ke moti piroti hai aankhe
khushi dene wale diye tune aansu
chamakte hi tuta hai kismat ka tara
idhar na bhanwar hai udhar na kinara
diya tune naiya ko kaisa sahara
kaisa sahara

There, duty that makes the heart captive,
There, duty that makes the heart captive,
Here, the world of the heart, there, worldly ways,
Here and there, fate has struck,
Here, no whirlpool, there, no shore,
You gave the boat such a mooring, gave you.

If I smile, then the eyes weep,
If I smile, then the eyes weep,
That, choosing pearls, the eyes string them,
That, choosing pearls, the eyes string them,
You, giver of joy, gave tears,
The star of fate broke as it shone,
Here, no whirlpool, there, no shore,
You gave the boat such a mooring,
Such a mooring.
