manwa kahe phir tadpaye manwa kahe phir tadpaye
bhul gayi thi jo barsate bhul gayi thi jo barsate
chandani rate pyar ki bate chandani rate pyar ki bate
ab kyu reh reh kar haye man ko unki yad sataye
manwa kahe phir tadpaye

jag uthe kyu nind ke mare kahe re sapne rishte nate
chhod chuki thi jis jiwan ko chhod chuki thi jis jiwan ko
kahe yad me aye manwa kahe dil dhadkaye

yad kisi ki dil me ayi naynan me phir jhadi lagayi
yad kisi ki dil me ayi naynan me phir jhadi lagayi
man ka panchi man me hai man ka panchi man me hai
bhule rag sunaye manwa bhule rag sunaye
manwa kahe phir tadpaye

Why, my heart, do you torment? Why do you ache anew?
Forgotten downpours, a love I outgrew.
Moonlit nights, whispered words, I thought them gone and through,
Yet why does memory now pierce, and haunt my view?
Why, my heart, do you torment?

Why awaken from slumber, these dreams that intertwine?
The life I left behind, a path no longer mine.
Why does longing resurface? Why does my heart now pine?

A memory stirs deep within, tears well up and gleam,
A memory stirs deep within, tears flow like a stream.
My heart, a caged bird, sings its forgotten theme,
My heart, a caged bird, sings its forgotten theme.
Why, my heart, do you torment?
