koi hame bata de
kya tha kasoor dil ka
koi hame bata de
kya tha kasoor dil ka

koi hame bata de
kya tha kasoor dil ka
hoton se hansi aaye
aankho se bahe pani
aur bhatko ko rahi
ek baat dil ki
koi hame bata de
kya tha kasoor dil ka
koi hame bata de
kya tha kasoor dil ka

aandhiyon se kya darna
toofan se kya darna
sab ghatao ka kya karna
koi hame bata de
kya tha kasoor dil ka
koi hame bata de
kya tha kasoor dil ka

Tell me, someone, if you know,
What fault resided in the heart?
Tell me, someone, if you know,
What wrong did the poor heart impart?

Tell me, someone, if you know,
The heart's transgression, what was it?
Laughter blossoms on the lips,
Tears well up, a watery pit.
And for wanderers, a guiding word,
From the heart, a whispered plea.
Tell me, someone, if you know,
What fault resided in the heart, you see?
Tell me, someone, if you know,
What fault resided in the heart, for me?

Why fear the winds that fiercely blow?
Or storms that rage with mighty hand?
What use are clouds, their somber show?
Tell me, someone, understand,
What fault resided in the heart?
Tell me, someone, if you know,
What fault did the poor heart play?
Tell me, someone, if you know.
