bhikha baat adham ki bhikha baat adham ki
kahan sunan ki nahi
jo jane so kahe nahi jo kahe so jane nahi
ek lafz mohabbat ka adna ye afsana hai
ek lafze mohabbat ka adna ye afsana hai
simate to dile aashiq faile to jamana hai
ek lafz mohabbat ka adna ye afsana hai

aankho me nami si hai chup chup se vo baithe hai
najuk si nigaho me najuk sa fasana hai
ek lafz mohabbat ka adna ye afsana hai

ye ishq nahi aasan itna hi samjh lijiye
ek aag ka dariya hai aur dub ke jana hai
ek lafze mohabbat ka adna ye afsana hai

dil sange malamat ka har chand nishana hai
dil fir bhi mera dil hai dil hi to jamana hai
ek lafze mohabbat ka adna ye afsana hai

aashu to bahut se hai aankho me jigar le ke
bind jaye so moti hai reh jaye so dana hai
ek lafze mohabbat ka adna ye afsana hai
simate to dile aashiq faile to jamana hai
ek lafze mohabbat ka adna ye afsana hai

The beggar's words, of the lowest caste,
Unheard, unspoken, forever cast.
He who knows, will not repeat,
A single word of love, so frail, so sweet.
A single word of love, a simple tale.
It shrinks the lover's heart, expands, unveil,
A single word of love, a simple tale.

A mist in eyes, in silence they reside,
A fragile story, in glances to confide.
A single word of love, a simple tale.
This love, not easy, understand this well,
A river of fire, where one must fall,
A single word of love, a simple tale.
The heart, a target, the world's harsh stare,
Yet still my heart, the world I bear.
A single word of love, a simple tale.

Tears abundant, with liver in the gaze,
Pierced, a pearl, the rest, a haze.
A single word of love, a simple tale.
It shrinks the lover's heart, expands, unveil,
A single word of love, a simple tale.
