jisane is duniyaan me aakar
dil naa diyaa aur dil naa liyaa
jine ko sau saal jiyaa
par ham to kahege khaakh jiyaa

o dilavaalon dil kaa lagana achcha hai

o dilavaalon dil kaa lagana achcha hai
par kabhi kabhi
dil me kisi kaa pyaar basaanaa achcha hai
par kabhi kabhi
dil me kisi kaa pyaar basaanaa achcha hai
par kabhi kabhi

duniyan me jo pyaar na hota tum hi kaho kya hota
duniyan me jo pyaar na hota tum hi kaho kya hota
koi naa thandi aahe bharta koi na dard ke mare rota
koi naa thandi aahe bharta koi na dard ke mare rota

shama naa ho to paravane ko kaun gale se lagaae
shama naa ho to paravane ko kaun gale se lagaae

Who came to this world,
offered no heart, nor took one,
lived a hundred years, they say,
but we say, lived to dust.

Oh, hearts, to give your heart is good,
but sometimes,
Oh, hearts, to give your heart is good,
but sometimes,
to harbor love within your heart is good,
but sometimes.

If love were not in this world, tell me, what would be?
If love were not in this world, tell me, what would be?
None would sigh with chilling breath, none would weep with pain’s sting.
None would sigh with chilling breath, none would weep with pain’s sting.
For laughers, to shed a tear is good, but sometimes,
For laughers, to shed a tear is good, but sometimes.
Oh, hearts, to give your heart is good,
but sometimes.

If the lamp were not, who would embrace the moth?
If the lamp were not, who would embrace the moth?
If the lamp were not, why would the moth consume itself?
If the lamp were not, why would the moth consume itself?
For another,
for another, to burn your life is good, but sometimes,
for another, to burn your life is good, but sometimes.
Oh, hearts, to give your heart is good,
but sometimes.
To harbor love within your heart is good,
but sometimes.
