ishq kare jo, wo hi jane
ishq me kitna gham hai
aankho me ashqo ki lahre
kadam kadam maatam hai
kaante kaante hi bikhre hai
chahat ki raaho me
mar mar ke jeena padta hai
ulfat ki baaho me
ulfat ki baaho me

jitna bhulana chahu utni hi yaad aaye
beete dino ki yaade mujhko bahut rulaye
har dard sah rahi hu
ashqo ko pee rahi hu
tere begair sajna, mar mar ke jee rahi hu
aaye najar tu mujhko
najro ko jab uthau
mujhe tu na dekh paye
tujhe main na dekh paau
mujhe tu na dekh paye

Only those who love truly know,
The grief that love does bestow.
Waves of tears within the eyes,
Mourning at each step, that never dies.

Thorns alone are scattered wide,
Along the pathways of desire's tide.
To live and die, a constant plea,
In the embrace of love's decree.
In the embrace of love's decree.

The more I try to forget, the more you appear,
Memories of the past, now bring forth a tear.
I bear each pain with a silent grace,
Drinking down the tears that stain my face.
Without you, my love, a living death I face.
I seek you with lifted eyes,
Yet find you not in my skies.
You cannot see me, it would seem,
Nor I, your face, within a dream.
You cannot see me.
