kyu dil bichde yaar ko rove
aisa kisi ka haal na hove
kyu ban jate hai log deewane
jo pyar kare wo jaane jaane re
jo pyar kare wo jaane jaane re

kyu dil bichde yaar ko rove
aisa kisi ka haal na hove
kyu ban jate hai log deewane
jo pyar kare wo jaane jaane re
jo pyar kare wo jaane jaane re

ye majburi itni doori ye betabi ye tanhai
is duniya me aur kisi ko
rabba mile na aisi judai
wakt yahi pe tham na jaye
sans ki dori tut na jae
aaj mohobat ke hatho se
aas ka daman chut na jae
haay kyu dil bichde yaar ko rove
aisa kisi ka haal na hove
kyu ban jate hai log deewane
jo pyar kare wo jaane jaane re
jo pyar kare wo jaane jaane re

saare wade sari kasme sari rasme tod ke aaja
teri mohobat tujhko bulaye sari duniya chhod ke aaja
is durie ke dard ko batein ek duje se lipat ke role
koi juda kar pae na humko aise ik dooje ke hole
haay kyu dil bichde yaar ko rove
aisa kisi ka haal na hove
kyu ban jate hai log deewane
jo pyar kare wo jaane jaane re
jo pyar kare wo jaane jaane re

Why does the heart weep for the parted beloved?
May such a state never befall another.
Why do people become mad with longing?
Those who love, they alone know.
Those who love, they alone know.

Why does the heart weep for the parted beloved?
May such a state never befall another.
Why do people become mad with longing?
Those who love, they alone know.
Those who love, they alone know.

This compulsion, this distance, this restlessness, this solitude,
In this world, may no one else, O God,
Experience such a separation.
May time not cease at this very moment,
May the thread of breath not break.
Today, from the hands of love,
May the garment of hope not slip away.
Alas, why does the heart weep for the parted beloved?
May such a state never befall another.
Why do people become mad with longing?
Those who love, they alone know.
Those who love, they alone know.

Break all promises, all oaths, all traditions, and come forth.
Your love calls you, leave the whole world and come forth.
Let us share the pain of this distance, embrace each other and weep.
May no one separate us, let us become one in this way.
Alas, why does the heart weep for the parted beloved?
May such a state never befall another.
Why do people become mad with longing?
Those who love, they alone know.
Those who love, they alone know.
