kya karte the sajana tum humse dur rahke
kya karte the sajana tum humse dur rahke
ham toh judayi me akele
chhup-chhup ke roya karte the
chhup-chhup ke roya karte the
kya batalaye jaan-e-jan ham tumse dur rahke
kya batalaye jaan-e-jan ham tumse dur rahke
aksar duao me khuda se
tumko hi manga karte the
tumko hi manga karte the

jo puchhti thi sakhiya bechari
yeh rog kaisa tujhko hai pyari
jo puchhti thi sakhiya bechari
yeh rog kaisa tujhko hai pyari
chup chap unka munh dekhti thi
karti bhi kya mai biraha ki mari
wo din bhi kya din the sanam
majabur tum lachar ham bas aahen bhara karte the
tumko hi manga karte the tumko hi manga karte the
kya karte the sajana tum humse dur rahke
kya karte the sajana tum humse dur rahke
ham toh judayi me akele
chhup-chhup ke roya karte the
chhup-chhup ke roya karte the

mana judayi kaa mausam bura tha
uska bhi lekin apna maja tha
mana judayi kaa mausam bura tha
uska bhi lekin apna maja tha
thoda tadapna thoda sisakna
sach puchhiye to achchha laga tha
kya chij hai yeh pyar bhi
sukh me hasi duhkh me hasi
naa puchho ki kya karte the
tumko hi manga karte the
tumko hi manga karte the
kya karte the sajana tum humse dur rahke
ham toh judayi me akele
chhup-chhup ke roya karte the
chhup-chhup ke roya karte the
kya batalaye jaan-e-jan ham tumse dur rahke
aksar duao me khuda se
tumko hi manga karte the
chhup-chhup ke roya karte the
tumako hi manga karte the
chhup-chhup ke roya karte the

What did you do, my love, when we were apart?
What did you do, my love, when we were far?
In separation's lonely veil,
I wept in secret, wept in secret.

What can I tell you, my life, when we were apart?
What can I tell you, my life, when we were far?
Often in prayers to God,
I only asked for you, only asked for you.

When my dear friends would ask,
"What malady has struck you, my love?"
When my dear friends would ask,
"What sorrow holds you, my love?"
Silently, I would gaze at them,
What else could I do, a victim of longing?
Those days, what days they were, my beloved,
You helpless, I forlorn, we only sighed,
only asked for you, only asked for you.
What did you do, my love, when we were apart?
What did you do, my love, when we were far?
In separation's lonely veil,
I wept in secret, wept in secret.

Though the season of parting was harsh,
Yet, it held its own sweetness.
Though the season of parting was harsh,
Yet, it held its own sweetness.
A little yearning, a little sobbing,
Truly, it felt good, I confess.
What a strange thing is this love,
In joy, a laugh, in sorrow, a laugh.
Do not ask what we did,
only asked for you, only asked for you.
What did you do, my love, when we were apart?
In separation's lonely veil,
I wept in secret, wept in secret.
What can I tell you, my life, when we were far?
Often in prayers to God,
I only asked for you,
wept in secret,
only asked for you,
wept in secret.
