mere sanam, sun mera gum
uljhane zindagi ban gayi
tu kahi mai kahi
mere sanam

jal raha hai dil mera
mai chup rahu to kaise
ghut raha hai dum mera
mai kuch kahu to kaise
gum se hade khushi ki ja mili
uljhane zindagi ban gayi
tu kahi mai kahi
mere sanam

kitne din gujar gaye
kismat ko sote sote
kitni umar gayi
din raat rote rote
fir bhi to badnasibi kam nahi
uljhane zindagi ban gayi
tu kahi mai kahi
mere sanam, sun mera gum
uljhane zindagi ban gayi
tu kahi mai kahi
mere sanam

My beloved, hear my sorrow's plea,
Life's knots have become my destiny.
You are there, I am here,
My beloved.

My heart is aflame,
How can I stay silent?
My breath is choked,
How can I speak my torment?
Sorrow has met joy's distant shore,
Life's knots have become my destiny.
You are there, I am here,
My beloved.

How many days have passed,
While fate has slumbered deep?
How much of life has gone,
In nights of endless weep?
Yet still, misfortune knows no end,
Life's knots have become my destiny.
You are there, I am here,
My beloved, hear my sorrow's plea,
Life's knots have become my destiny.
You are there, I am here,
My beloved.
