gaye bachpan ke din tere gori ki mehandi wali rat a gayi
chali jayegi too doli me akeli ke banne ki barat a gayi
ek kudi anjan kar gayi pareshan
akkhan nal mila ke akkhan kad gayi jan
sari umar da panga pe gaya ay hay puvada pe gaya
ek munda naujavan kar gaya pareshan
akkhan nal mila ke akkhan kad gaya jan
te nal mera dil le gaya ay hay puvada pe gaya

teri mast javani sanu le gayi lut ke
teri mast javani sanu le gayi lut ke
o tere lal lal bul sada dil gaya
hil lal lal bul sada dil gaya hil
teri ankhiya di lod bani tere nal dor
ho teri ankhiya di lod banni tere nal dor
sadi jind lut layi tenu chahe da ki hor tenu chahe da ki hor
dil jano jigar le gai tu dilbar dil jano jigar le gai tu dilbar
ab pas mere kya rah gaya ay hay puvada pe gaya

sado rahna dur dur pas ana na hujur
sado rahna dur dur pas ana na hujur
kedi gallon majbur sada hoya ki kusur
kedi gallon majbur sada hoya ki kusur
vatnan di duriya ne sada milna nahi asan
vatnan di duriya ne sada milna nahi asan
pyar vekhya hidustan pyar vekhya pakistan
pyar vekhya hidustan pyar vekhya pakistan
sarhadan nu par karna enna nahi asan
sarhadan nu par karna enna nahi asan
yar di udari agge chhota hai asman
yar di udari agge chhota hai asman
tere sadke mai vari mai ta jit ke vi
hari tere sadke mai vari mai ta jit ke vi hari
too har ke bazi le gaya ay hay puvada pe gaya
ek kudi anjan kar gayi pareshan
akkhan nal mila ke akkhan kad gayi jan
sari umar da panga pe gaya ay hay puvada pe gaya
ek munda naujavan kar gaya pareshan
akkhan nal mila ke akkhan kad gaya jan
te nal mera dil le gaya ay hay puvada pe gaya
ay hay puvada pe gaya ay hay puvada pe gaya
ay hay puvada pe gaya ay hay puvada pe gaya
ay hay puvada pe gaya ay hay puvada pe gaya

The days of childhood are gone, the henna night of the bride arrives,
You will depart in a palanquin, the groom's procession arrives alone.
An unknown girl, she did perplex,
Meeting eyes, she stole my life, and fled the depths.
A lifetime's entanglement, alas, a tangled snare.
A young man, he did perplex,
Meeting eyes, he stole my life, and fled the depths.
With you, my heart was taken, alas, a tangled snare.

Your youthful fire, it robbed and took from us,
Your youthful fire, it robbed and took from us.
Your red lips, they always shook my heart,
Your red lips, they always shook my heart.
Your eyes became the longing, a tether to you,
Your eyes became the longing, a tether to you.
My life is stolen, what more do you seek?
My life is stolen, what more do you seek?
Heart, soul, and liver, you took,
Now what remains for me, alas, a tangled snare.

Stay far, far away, approach, yes, your honor,
Stay far, far away, approach, yes, your honor,
By what compulsion, what has been my fault?
By what compulsion, what has been my fault?
The distance of homelands, our meeting is not easy,
The distance of homelands, our meeting is not easy.
Love has seen Hindustan, love has seen Pakistan,
Love has seen Hindustan, love has seen Pakistan.
Crossing borders, it's not so easy,
Crossing borders, it's not so easy.
Before the generosity of a friend, the sky is small,
Before the generosity of a friend, the sky is small.
I am sacrificed for you, I am lost even in victory,
I am sacrificed for you, I am lost even in victory.
You, though losing, have carried all, alas, a tangled snare.
An unknown girl, she did perplex,
Meeting eyes, she stole my life, and fled the depths.
A lifetime's entanglement, alas, a tangled snare.
A young man, he did perplex,
Meeting eyes, he stole my life, and fled the depths.
With you, my heart was taken, alas, a tangled snare.
Alas, a tangled snare, alas, a tangled snare,
Alas, a tangled snare, alas, a tangled snare,
Alas, a tangled snare, alas, a tangled snare.
