main ja na saku tu aa na sake
deewar idhar deewar udhar
main khadi do rahe par
tera pyar idhar sansar udhar
hansne bhi na payi dil ki kali
takdeer ne tod liya usko
hansne bhi na payi dil ki kali
takdeer ne tod liya usko

ulafat ne kiya ikrar idhar
duniya ne kiya inkar udhar
lagi aag pyar ki dono taraf
wo aag bujha di duniya ne
lagi aag pyar ki dono taraf
wo aag bujha di duniya ne
fir bhi kuch shole baki hai
do char idhar do char udhar
lagi aag pyar ki dono taraf
wo aag bujha di duniya ne

I cannot go, nor can you come,
A wall on this side, a wall on that.
I stand at the crossroads of two paths,
Your love here, the world there.

The heart's young bud, it could not laugh,
Fate tore it apart before its bloom.
The heart's young bud, it could not laugh,
Fate tore it apart before its bloom.

Love pledged its vows on this side,
The world denied them on that.
The fire of love burned on both shores,
The world extinguished it with its might.
The fire of love burned on both shores,
The world extinguished it with its might.
Yet, embers remain,
A few here, a few there.
I cannot go, nor can you come,
A wall on this side, a wall on that.
