chhupa bhi na sakege bta bhi na sakege
huye yu tere pyar mein pagal piya
jo tere na huye to kisi ke na rahege
ke ab na kisi aur se lage jiya
na jane ye zamaana kyu chaahe re mitana
kalank nahi ishq hai kajal piya
kalank nahi ishq hai kajal piya

duniya ki nazro mein ye rog hai
ho jinko wo jane ye jog hai
ik tarfa shayad ho dil ka bharam
do tarfa hai to ye sanjog hai
hazaro mein kisi ko taqdeer aisi
mili hai ik ranjha aur heer jaisi
na jane ye zamana kyu chahe re mitana
kalank nahi ishq hai kajal piya
kalank nahi ishq hai kajal piya

To hide it, yet speak it, I cannot,
In your love, I've gone mad, my beloved.
If I'm not yours, then of none I will be,
My heart now seeks no other, my beloved.
This world, why does it yearn to erase,
It's not a stain, but love's kohl, my beloved.
It's not a stain, but love's kohl, my beloved.

In the world's eyes, this is but a disease,
Those who feel it, know it's a sacred quest.
One-sided, perhaps, is a heart's illusion,
But two-sided, it's a blessed union.
Among thousands, a destiny so rare,
To find a Ranjha, a Heer to share.
This world, why does it yearn to erase,
It's not a stain, but love's kohl, my beloved.
It's not a stain, but love's kohl, my beloved.
