kis kaaran bhar aayi aankhe pyari tohre nainan me
kis kaaran bhar aayi aankhe pyari tohre nainan me
konse dukh ne ghera hai dil konse dukh ne ghera hai dil
jaan hai kis uljhan me bolo bolo
mujhse dil me konsa dukh hai man me
kis kaaran bhar aayi aankhe pyari tohre nainan me

rone ka kya kaaran pyari rone ka kya kaaran pyari
kyu nain bhar aaye kyu nain bhar aaye
gore sundar mukhde par kyu gore sundar mukhde par kyu
gum ke baadal chhaye
konsi vipda aayi sar par konsi vipda aayi sar par
konsi chinta man me
kis kaaran bhar aayi aankhe pyari tohre nainan me

rona hai naino ki jogi rona hai naino ki jogi
aur bol nahi soojhe aur bol nahi soojhe
man ki baat man ki baat kahe din ke din
kaise kaatu din dooje kaise kaatu din dooje bolo na
bolo ab to dil me bolo bolo ab to dil me
kya chhupa hai man me
kis kaaran bhar aayi aankhe pyari tohre nainan me

Why do tears well, beloved, in your eyes?
Why do tears well, beloved, in your eyes?
Which sorrow has ensnared your heart,
Which sorrow has ensnared your heart?
My love, in what turmoil, tell me, speak,
Which ache resides within your soul?
Why do tears well, beloved, in your eyes?

Why weep, beloved, why weep,
Why do your eyes overflow?
Why does the cloud of grief,
On your fair face, softly glow?
What hardship has befallen,
What worry weighs upon your mind?
Why do tears well, beloved, in your eyes?

Tears are the yogi of the eyes,
And words fail to arise,
The heart's unspoken tales,
Each passing day now cries.
How shall I endure these days,
How shall I endure, speak to me now,
Tell me now, my love,
What hides within your soul?
Why do tears well, beloved, in your eyes?
