kyo na dhara tune dheer man
kyo na dhara tune dheer man
man akaahe dhare dheer ??
apne dil ki peed man ??
apne dil ki peed man
kyo na dhara tune dhir man
re man kyo na dhara dhir tune

teripeed nirali
tera bharm nirala
dekh sake koi rukh ko
andha aankho wala
samjh sake usko wahi
samjh sake usko wahi
jisko ho wo pid
kyo na dhara tune man dhir
re man kyo na dhara tune dhir

Why did you not hold firm, oh heart?
Why did you not hold firm?
Why does the heart not hold firm?
The ache within your chest, oh heart?
The ache within your chest, oh heart,
Why did you not hold firm, oh heart?
Oh heart, why did you not hold firm?

Your ache, unparalleled,
Your illusion, unique.
Only the sightless can perceive
The turning of your face.
Only he can understand,
Only he can understand,
Who bears the same pain.
Why did you not hold firm, oh heart?
Oh heart, why did you not hold firm?
