haay kis boot ki mohabbat me dard tha aur sune
haay kis boot ki mohabbat me dard tha aur sune
jingadi kab khatam hui jine se fiza aur kahe

hamne paya to paya hai ye wafao ka sila
hamne paya to paya hai ye wafao ka sila
muft badnam huye bebas mulakat halat me

isliye daulate dil uspe luta di hamne
isliye daulate dil uspe luta di hamne
aap hi apno se kyu mayaj-e-gunjaar haye re

ghut ke mar jaye yehi dil me hai hasrat baki
ghut ke mar jaye yehi dil me hai hasrat baki
mudato gujari hai be-yaar madadgar halat me
mudato gujari hai be-yaar madadgar halat me
haay kis baat ne kiye hai darshan is halat me

Alas, in love with what idol did we fall,
Alas, in love with what idol did we fall,
Life itself a dream, weary of all.

For faithfulness, this recompense we find,
Freely disgraced, helpless and confined.

And so we poured our heart's wealth on her,
And so we poured our heart's wealth on her,
Why did we become our own hearts' scar?

To suffocate, to die, this is the heart's lone plea,
To suffocate, to die, this is the heart's lone plea,
Ages have passed, friendless, abandoned we,
Ages have passed, friendless, abandoned we,
Alas, in love with what thing did we agree?
