date ke hi chakkar mein
banda hai full laddu
jaana tha japan magar
pahuncha hai timbuktu
date ke hi chakkar mein
banda hai full laddu
jaana tha japan magar
pahuncha hai timbuktu
le main tere naam jaan likha du
kya kasam koyi maar bhi kha lu

pyar hai jeevan mera kya
samjhaun main kehke
kya karte the sajna
tum humse door reh ke
kya karte the saajna
tum humse door reh ke
hum judayi mein akele
chhup chhup ke roya karte the
meri saanso par yu to hai hak tere
par jaan hi le lenge shak tere
meri saanso par yu to hai hak tere
par jaan hi le lenge shakk tere

dekh zamana ye to pyar se jalta hai
dil jalane wali chaal yeh chalta hai
pyar kiya hai tujhse
duniya bhar ke gham seh ke
kya karte the saajna
tum humse door reh ke
kya karte the saajna
tum humse door reh ke
hum judayi mein akele
chhup chhup ke roya karte the

Lost in the swirl of dates, a candied bloom,
Meant for Japan, yet stranded in Timbuktu's gloom.
Lost in the swirl of dates, a candied bloom,
Meant for Japan, yet stranded in Timbuktu's gloom.
I'd write your name upon the breath of life,
Swear oaths, endure the sting of strife.

My love, my life, what words can truly say?
What did you do, my love, when you were far away?
What did you do, my love, when you were far away?
Alone in separation, tears I'd weep in secret,
Though my breaths belong to you, my dear,
Suspicion's shadow steals what I hold near.
Though my breaths belong to you, my dear,
Suspicion's shadow steals what I hold near.

The world, it burns with envy's bitter fire,
Plays games to scorch the heart's desire.
For you, I loved, and bore the world's despair,
What did you do, my love, when you were far away?
What did you do, my love, when you were far away?
Alone in separation, tears I'd weep in secret.
