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

zindagi ke dukh bhare
ye din kaha bitau
jo na koi gum kare
wo dil kaha se lau
sabkuch hai fir bhi jaise kuch nahi
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 sun mera gum
uljhane zindagi ban gayi
tu kahi mai kahi
mere sanam

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

Where do I spend these days of woe,
Of life's heavy, burdened flow?
Where to find a heart that knows
No sorrow, in its gentle throes?
Everything, yet nothing seems to be,
Life's knots have become my destiny.
You are there, I am here,
My love, eternally.

My heart is burning, a silent pyre,
How can I keep the flames from higher?
My breath is choked, a desperate plea,
How can I speak, how can I be?
Where grief and joy's borders meet,
Life's knots have become my destiny.
You are there, I am here,
My love, eternally.
My love, hear my sorrow's plea,
Life's knots have become my destiny.
You are there, I am here,
My love, eternally.
