kaahe naina lade is din ke liye
kaahe naina lade is din ke liye
rama badle ye kaise gin ke liye
rama badle ye kaise gin ke liye

paar karejwa pe tikha tikha teer laaga
jhuthe ki preet jhuthi kaisa daga deke bhaga
kaahe khoi sudh budh maine
kaahe khoi sudh budh maine
inke liye maine inke liye
rama badle ye kaise gin ke liye
kahe naina lade is din ke liye
kahe naina lade is din ke liye
rama badle ye kaise gin ke liye
rama badle ye kaise gin ke liye

bitengi ratiya meri ab roye roye
beimaan tere khyalo me khoye khoye
wo to hanste hai hum roye
wo to hanste hai hum roye
jinke liye roye kinke liye
rama badle ye kaise gin ke liye
kahe naina lade is din ke liye
rama badle ye kaise gin ke liye

Why did my eyes meet, for this very day?
Why did my eyes meet, for this very day?
Oh, what cost is paid, in this karmic way?
Oh, what cost is paid, in this karmic way?

A sharp, piercing arrow, through my heart did fly,
False was their love, a treacherous goodbye.
Why did I lose all reason, then and there?
Why did I lose all reason, then and there?
For them I lost, for them I cared.
Oh, what cost is paid, in this karmic way?
Why did my eyes meet, for this very day?
Why did my eyes meet, for this very day?
Oh, what cost is paid, in this karmic way?
Oh, what cost is paid, in this karmic way?

My nights will now pass, weeping endlessly,
Lost in your thoughts, with such agony.
They laugh, while I weep, in my despair,
They laugh, while I weep, in my despair,
For them I weep, for them I share.
Oh, what cost is paid, in this karmic way?
Why did my eyes meet, for this very day?
Oh, what cost is paid, in this karmic way?
