ek dard utha haye ek dard utha ek dard utha haye ek dard utha
ek bedardi gaw me mere dil ka sahar luta
ek dard utha haye ek dard utha ek dard utha haye ek dard utha

kaun meri dhadkan me samaya man ki koyaliya kuk uthi
tut gayi angadayi or ek lambi lambi huk uthi
ek lambi lambi huk uthi aisa nisana jalim ka tha
takne pe nahi ghutno me aana baho me nigaho me are nahi
are to phir kaha aisa nisana jalim ka tha
sidha dil pe utar gaya haye ni ek dard utha
ek dard utha haye ek dard utha
ek dard utha haye ek dard utha

jaise ek kali ko aake fagun gale lagaye re
haye fagun gale lagaye re sada suhagan hui umange
jab wo laut kar aye re haye jab wo laut kar aye re
jab sapno ki hui sagai din ko nahi sham ko nahi
raat ko parbhat ko nahi nahi phir kab jab sapno ki hui sagai
ang ang me shor macha haye ni ek dard utha
ek dard utha haye ek dard utha
ek dard utha haye ek dard utha

aanchal mera hua sarabi machal ke tan se lipat gaya
haye machal ke tan se lipat gaya payal ka pagal ghunghru bhi
bin chankaye chanak aya haye bin chankaye chanak aya
dard hua rang sarp hua tikha tikha nahi mitha mitha nahi
jara jara nahi to phir bada dard hua rang sarp hua
or sar pe pasina chhut gaya haye ni ek dard utha
ek dard utha haye ek dard utha
ek dard utha haye ek dard utha

ek bedardi gaw me mere dil ka sahar luta
ek dard utha haye ek dard utha ek dard utha haye ek dard utha

A pain arose, oh, a pain arose, a pain arose, oh, a pain arose.
In a heartless village, the city of my heart was plundered.
A pain arose, oh, a pain arose, a pain arose, oh, a pain arose.

Who has entered my heartbeat, the mind's cuckoo called out?
The embrace shattered, and a long, drawn sigh arose.
A long, drawn sigh arose, such was the tyrant's aim.
Not in the gaze, not in the knees, not in the arms, not in the eyes, no, not there.
Then where did the tyrant's aim strike?
It descended straight to the heart, oh, a pain arose.
A pain arose, oh, a pain arose.
A pain arose, oh, a pain arose.

As if spring embraces a bud,
Oh, spring embraces it, the elations become eternally blessed.
When it returns, oh, when it returns,
When the dreams were betrothed, not in the day, not in the evening,
Not at night, not at dawn, no, then when were the dreams betrothed?
Every limb shouted, oh, a pain arose.
A pain arose, oh, a pain arose.
A pain arose, oh, a pain arose.

My veil became intoxicated, clinging to the body in a frenzy,
Oh, clinging to the body in a frenzy, the mad anklet's bells also
Rung without being struck, oh, rung without being struck.
The pain became a colored serpent, not sharp, not sweet,
Not a little, no, then a great pain became a colored serpent.
Sweat poured onto the head, oh, a pain arose.
A pain arose, oh, a pain arose.
A pain arose, oh, a pain arose.

In a heartless village, the city of my heart was plundered.
A pain arose, oh, a pain arose, a pain arose, oh, a pain arose.
