mai hu majbur meri manjil hai dur
kahi raste me sham ho na jaye
mera pyar badnam ho na jaye
mai hu majbur meri manjil hai dur
kahi raste me sham ho na jaye
mera pyar badnam ho na jaye

wo mera pyar mere jajbat dekhe
na hum jindagi ke halat dekhe
wo mera pyar mere jajbat dekhe
na hum jindagi ke halat dekhe
jidd hai fizul unki choti si bhul
kahi maut ka paygam ho na jaye
mera pyar badnam ho na jaye
mai hu majbur meri manjil hai dur
kahi raste me sham ho na jaye
mera pyar badnam ho na jaye

kitni ajib hai ye dunia ki rasme
aaj apna pyar bhi hai gairo ke bas me
kitni ajib hai ye dunia ki rasme
aaj apna pyar bhi hai gairo ke bas me
dar hai mujhe kahi yuhi rote rote
meri dasta tamam ho na jaye
mera pyar badnam ho na jaye
mai hu majbur meri manjil hai dur
kahi raste me sham ho na jaye
mera pyar badnam ho na jaye
mai hu majbur meri manjil hai dur

I am bound, my haven far away,
Lest twilight falls upon the way,
And my love's name should be defiled.
I am bound, my haven far away,
Lest twilight falls upon the way,
And my love's name should be defiled.

Let her see my love, my yearning deep,
Let us not the harsh life's secrets keep.
Let her see my love, my yearning deep,
Let us not the harsh life's secrets keep.
Their stubbornness, a futile plea,
Lest death's cold message come to be,
And my love's name should be defiled.
I am bound, my haven far away,
Lest twilight falls upon the way,
And my love's name should be defiled.

How strange the customs of this world,
My love, in strangers' hands unfurled.
How strange the customs of this world,
My love, in strangers' hands unfurled.
I fear, in tears, my story told,
Lest my tale's ending leaves me cold,
And my love's name should be defiled.
I am bound, my haven far away,
Lest twilight falls upon the way,
And my love's name should be defiled.
I am bound, my haven far away.
