meri khushi ko luta najar se gira diya
meri khushi ko luta najar se gira diya
bedard jamane ne bedard jamane ne
bedard jamane ne bedard jamane ne
twayaf bana diya
meri khushi ko luta najar se gira diya

logo ne mujhko kar diya mahfil me benkab mahfil me benkab
logo ne mujhko kar diya mahfil me benkab mahfil me benkab
dushman bani hai meri jawani
mera shabab jawani mera shabab
majburiyo ne mujhko tamasha bana diya
bedard jamane ne twayaf bana diya
meri khushi ko luta najar se gira diya

kuch khouf tha ke bandh liye
pav me ghungharu pav me ghungharu
kuch khouf tha ke bandh liye
pav me ghungharu pav me ghungharu
mahfil me lut na jaye kahi meri aabru meri aabru
mai kya thi jalimo ne mujhe kya bana diya
bedard jamane ne twayaf bana diya
meri khushi ko luta najar se gira diya

khairat dilruba ki tarah is kadar hasi
baho me meri aaiye kar lijiye yakin
tirchi najar ne aapki sab kuch sikha diya
bedard jamane ne twayaf bana diya
meri khushi ko luta najar se gira diya

My joy, plundered, cast down by a glance,
by a heartless world, a heartless world,
a heartless world, a heartless world,
they made me a courtesan.
My joy, plundered, cast down by a glance.

They unveiled me in the gathering, in the gathering,
they unveiled me in the gathering, in the gathering,
my youth, a foe,
my bloom, my youth, my bloom.
Compulsions made me a spectacle,
the heartless world made me a courtesan.
My joy, plundered, cast down by a glance.

Fear bound bells to my feet, to my feet,
fear bound bells to my feet, to my feet,
lest my honor be lost in the gathering, my honor,
what I was, the cruel ones made me something else.
The heartless world made me a courtesan.
My joy, plundered, cast down by a glance.

Like alms, the beloved's heart laughed so,
enter my arms, believe,
your sideways glance taught me everything.
The heartless world made me a courtesan.
My joy, plundered, cast down by a glance.
