jag me preet ka naam bura hai
bad ka badnaam bura hai
hum aankh milana na chode
koi lakh kahe ye kam bura hai
jag me preet ka naam bura hai
ha ha naam bura hai
naam bura hai ha ha naam bura hai

lakh dil ko saaz bataye saaz bataye
jab sone wale so jaye haye so jaye
hum dard liye is sine me
karwat badle daye baye daye baye
haye maja kya aata hai
kuch humse kaha na jata hai
jag me preet ka naam bura hai
ha ha naam bura hai
naam bura hai ha ha naam bura hai

tune to apni kah chodi ha kah chodi
aur mujhko rat me nind nigodi, nind nigodi
aane lagi hai thodi thodi, thodi thodi
phir dil me utha hai dhak dhak
rone wale ro mat, ro mat
jag rahe hai chand sitare, chand sitare
jag rahe hai majnu sare
ulfat me aaram bura hai
jag me preet ka naam bura hai
ha ha naam bura hai
naam bura ha ha naam bura hai
jag me preet ka naam bura hai
ha ha naam bura hai naam bura hai

In this world, love's name is ill,
Evil's renown, a bitter thrill.
We will not cease to meet the gaze,
Though they decree this act to kill.
In this world, love's name is ill,
Yes, yes, its name is ill,
Ill is its name, yes, yes, ill.

A thousand hearts confide their tune,
When slumber claims the day's soft swoon.
We, bearing pain within our breast,
Turn, right to left, beneath the moon.
Oh, what delight, we cannot say,
The words within us melt away.
In this world, love's name is ill,
Yes, yes, its name is ill,
Ill is its name, yes, yes, ill.

You've spoken, your tale is spun,
While I am robbed of sleep till dawn,
That wretched sleep, it starts to creep,
In tiny waves, then fully drawn.
Then in the heart, a pounding starts,
Weep not, you who wear the scars.
The moon and stars are watching near,
All the Majnoon stay awake, my dear.
In love, all comfort is a flaw,
In this world, love's name is ill,
Yes, yes, its name is ill,
Ill is its name, yes, yes, ill.
In this world, love's name is ill,
Yes, yes, its name is ill, ill.
