itni si bat pe bigad gaye kyu ji bas ha ji bas
wah dil mera lete hi akad gaye kyu ji bas
ha ji bas itni si bat pe bigad gaye

kal ki hai bat kuch yad hai tumhe
kaho to jara adhi adhi rat
sapno me aake diya tha jaga
khake kasme karke bas me
aag laga di nas nas me
jao dil mera lete hi akad gaye kyu ji bas
ha ji bas wah dil mera lete hi akad gaye

najro me aapko basaya hamne dil bhi diya
ho gaya kasur ye huzur hamse kare ab kya
ke marke tumpe ulfat karke
rog lagaye hai umar bhar ke
itni si bat pe bigad gaye kyu ji bas
ha ji bas dil mera lete hi akad gaye

rakhi ye sambhal ke saugat dil ki
aisa hi sahi samjhenge tut gayi bat dil ki
aisa hi sahi bas namaste ji namaste
dil me hum nahi baste
itni si bat pe bigad gaye kyu ji bas ha ji bas
wah dil mera lete hi akad gaye kyu ji bas
ha ji bas itni si bat pe bigad gaye

Why, love, at such a trifle, do you turn away?
Yes, love, yes.
Why, having seized my heart, do you now hold it at bay?
Yes, love, yes.
At such a trifle, why do you turn away?

Do you recall, love, of yesterday?
Speak, in the hush of the midnight hour,
When you came in dreams, and woke me from slumber,
Sworn vows, then, you took command,
And set ablaze, in every strand,
My heart, now having seized, do you now hold at bay?
Yes, love, yes.
Why, having seized my heart, do you now hold at bay?

I enshrined you within my gaze, and gave my heart, too,
What fault is this, my love, you now accrue?
For, dying for you, for love's own sake,
You have inflicted, for life's long ache,
Why, love, at such a trifle, do you turn away?
Yes, love, yes.
Why, having seized my heart, do you now hold at bay?

I kept this gift of the heart, with such care,
So be it, that we understand, that the heart's word is bare.
So be it, then, just farewell, and farewell alone,
That in your heart, I am not known.
Why, love, at such a trifle, do you turn away? Yes, love, yes.
Why, having seized my heart, do you now hold at bay?
Yes, love, yes.
At such a trifle, why do you turn away?
