kyon mere dil me dard basaya jawab do
kyon bhole bhale dil ko lubhaya jawab do
kyon mere dil me dard basaya jawab do
kyon bhole bhale dil ko lubhaya jawab do

dil ki kali ko khilne se pehle masal diya
kahe hansa hansa ke rulaya jawab do
kyon mere dil me dard basaya jawab do
kyon bhole bhale dil ko lubhaya jawab do

duniya me chha raha hai andhera tere bagair
kyon mere dil kaa dip bujhaya jawab do
kyon mere dil me dard basaya jawab do
kyon bhole bhale dil ko lubhaya jawab do

phuti ghatao woh meree khushiya kaha gayi
kyon mujhko pyar ras naa aaya jawab do
kyon mere dil me dard basaya jawab do
kyon bhole bhale dil ko lubhaya jawab do

Darkness descends upon the world without you,
Why did you extinguish the lamp of my heart, answer me?
Why did you plant sorrow in my heart, answer me?
Why did you lure my innocent soul, answer me?

My joys, like shattered clouds, where have they gone?
Why did love not taste sweet to me, answer me?
Why did you plant sorrow in my heart, answer me?
Why did you lure my innocent soul, answer me?
