mere jagne se pehle haye re meri kismat
mere jagne se pehle haye re meri kismat so jati hai
mai der karta nahi der ho jati hai
mai der karta nahi der ho jati hai
o mere sath yahi mushkil payi hui manjil
o mere sath yahi mushkil payi hui manjil kho jati hai
mai der karta nahi der ho jati hai
mai der karta nahi der ho jati hai

haye kispe bharosa kiya hai jo bhi wada kiya jhutha kiya hai
haye kispe bharosa kiya hai jo bhi wada kiya jhutha kiya hai
o chaha jab bhi maine wada nibhana
chaha jab bhi maine wada nibhana
waqt ne waqt pe dhokha diya hai
waqt ne waqt pe dhokha diya hai
der karne ki aadat chahat ki kashti
der karne ki aadat chahat ki kashti dubo jati hai
mai der karta nahi der ho jati hai
mai der karta nahi der ho jati hai

bit gaye kitne mausam suhane pyar karne ke rangin zamane
bit gaye kitne mausam suhane pyar karne ke rangin zamane
mausam to aate jate rahenge mausam to aate jate rahenge
aaya mai to rutha dilbar manane
aaya mai to rutha dilbar manane
meri halat pe dekho shabnam bhi aansu
meri halat pe dekho shabnam bhi aansu ro jati hai
mai der karta nahi der ho jati hai
mai der karta nahi der ho jati hai
mere jagne se pehle haye re meri kismat so jati hai
tum der karte nahi der ho jati hai
ho tum der karte nahi der ho jati hai

Before I awaken, alas, my fate,
Before I awaken, alas, my fate sleeps.
I do not delay, yet delay arrives,
I do not delay, yet delay arrives.
Oh, this challenge, the goal achieved with me,
Oh, this challenge, the goal achieved with me, is lost.
I do not delay, yet delay arrives,
I do not delay, yet delay arrives.

Alas, on whom did I rely, who broke every vow?
Alas, on whom did I rely, who broke every vow?
Oh, when I wished to keep my promise,
Oh, when I wished to keep my promise,
Time itself betrayed me at the right time.
Time itself betrayed me at the right time.
The habit of delay, the boat of desire,
The habit of delay, the boat of desire, sinks.
I do not delay, yet delay arrives,
I do not delay, yet delay arrives.

How many pleasant seasons have passed,
How many pleasant seasons have passed, times of colorful love.
Seasons will come and go,
Seasons will come and go,
I arrived to appease the angered beloved.
I arrived to appease the angered beloved.
Look at my state, even the dew, in tears,
Look at my state, even the dew, in tears, weeps.
I do not delay, yet delay arrives,
I do not delay, yet delay arrives.
Before I awaken, alas, my fate sleeps.
You do not delay, yet delay arrives,
You do not delay, yet delay arrives.
