main to udas hun magar
wo bhi hai sokh jafar gham
unke bhi dil mein dard hai
ae dil ae bekraar kyon
ae dil ae bekraar kyon
ae dil ae bekraar kyon

jinka tha mujhko intzaar
wo mere pas aa gaye
jinka tha mujhko intzaar
wo mere pas aa gaye
phir bhi kami kya hai mujhe
ab bhi ye intzaar kyon
ae dil ae bekraar kyon
ae dil ae bekraar kyon

dhum na unse kah saku
wo na mujhse kah sake
dhum na unse kah saku
wo na mujhse kah sake
baat wahi daba na paye
aati hai baar kyon
ae dil ae bekraar kyon
ae dil ae bekraar kyon

itne kareeb aa ke bhi
dil mein mere sama ke bhi
itne kareeb aa ke bhi
dil mein mere sama ke bhi
jhuthe nahi hai bol magar
dil ki mere pukar kyon
ae dil ae bekraar kyon
ae dil ae bekraar kyon

I am forlorn, yet,
they too bear the weight of sorrow.
Their heart, burdened with pain,
Oh, restless heart, why?
Oh, restless heart, why?
Oh, restless heart, why?

The ones I yearned for,
have come to me at last.
The ones I yearned for,
have come to me at last.
Yet, what lack remains?
Why this longing still?
Oh, restless heart, why?
Oh, restless heart, why?

Words I cannot utter to them,
nor they to me, it seems.
Words we cannot speak,
yet the unspoken lingers near.
Why this recurrence?
Oh, restless heart, why?
Oh, restless heart, why?

So close, yet distant still,
though they dwell within my heart.
So close, yet distant still,
though they dwell within my heart.
Their words ring true, I know,
yet why this heart's lament?
Oh, restless heart, why?
Oh, restless heart, why?
