haay ye maine kya kiya
haay ye maine kya kiya
dil ka diya bujha diya
jage huye nasib ko deke
dawa sula diya
haay ye maine kya kiya

gairo ka kuchh gila nahi
main hi kasurvaar hun
maine hi apne hanth se
maine hi apne hanth se
apna nisha mita diya
haay ye maine kya kiya
dil ka diya bujha diya

shad unko kar diya aur
ho gaya nashad main
shad unko kar diya aur
ho gaya nashad main
unka diya jala diya
unka diya jala diya
apna diya bujha diya
haay ye maine kya kiya

kiski karu shikayate
kos main kiski jaan ko
mere hi bathate shouk ne
mere hi bathate shouk ne
mera gala daba diya
haay ye maine kya kiya
dil ka diya bujha diya

Alas, what have I wrought?
Alas, what have I done?
The lamp of the heart, I’ve extinguished,
Awakened fate, with a sleeping draft,
Alas, what have I done?

No grievance for strangers,
I alone bear the fault.
With my own hands, I,
With my own hands, I,
Erased my own trace.
Alas, what have I done?
The lamp of the heart, I’ve extinguished.

I brought them joy, while,
I am plunged in sorrow.
I brought them joy, while,
I am plunged in sorrow.
Their lamp I did ignite,
Their lamp I did ignite,
My own lamp I extinguished.
Alas, what have I done?

Whom shall I accuse?
Whom shall I blame?
My own soaring desire,
My own soaring desire,
Strangled my very soul.
Alas, what have I done?
The lamp of the heart, I’ve extinguished.
