ek dil ne kaha ek dil ne suna
ek dard bhara afsana haye dard bhara afsana
pyar ke tukde karnewala jalim hai ye zamana
jalim hai ye jamana ik dil ne kaha

parvane ke gham me haye
shamma ro ro jalti hai shamma ro ro jalti hai
shamma ko jalta jis dam dekhe jal jaye parvana
jal jaye parvana ek dil ne kaha

najuk se ek phul me dekho
chhupe hajaro kante hai chhupe hajaro kante hai
is duniya me kaun hai apna kise kahe begana
kise kahe begana ik dil ne kaha

janewale yaad me teri ankhe ro ro kehti hai
janewale yaad me teri ankhe ro ro kehti hai
ankhe ro ro kehti hai
dham ghut ke mar jana lekin dil na kisi se lagana
lekin dil na kisi se lagana
ek dil ne kaha ek dil ne suna ek dard bhara afsana
haye dard bhara afsana
pyar ke tukde karne wala jalim hai ye zamana
haye jalim hai ye zamana ek dil ne kaha

A heart spoke, a heart heard,
A tale of sorrow, oh, so sorrowful,
This world, a tyrant, shattering love's fragile form,
A tyrant is this world, a heart declared.

In the moth's grief, alas,
The candle weeps, consuming itself,
Seeing the candle burn, the moth is consumed,
Consumed by flames, a heart had said.

Within a delicate bloom, behold,
A thousand thorns are hidden deep,
In this world, who is our own, who is the stranger?
Who is the stranger?, a heart inquired.

In memory of your departure, eyes weep,
In memory of your departure, eyes weep,
The eyes weep, they cry out,
Suffocate and die, but never give your heart,
Never give your heart to another,
A heart spoke, a heart heard, a tale of sorrow,
Oh, so sorrowful,
This world, a tyrant, shattering love's fragile form,
A tyrant is this world, a heart declared.
