meri tanhai ko shahnai ka paigam na do
meri ruswai tumhe bhi to nigal sakti hai
meri tanhai ko shahnai ka paigam na do
meri ruswai tumhe bhi to nigal sakti hai
mere daman ko daagdar kiya hai jisne
wahi duniya ye khushi dekhke jal sakti hai
meri ruswayi

ye aag jisme ke tum khud jale hi jate ho
ye aag ek ujale me badal bhi sakti hai
ye jami jispe lage hai abhi ruswayi ke daag
ye jami ek shivale me badal sakti hai
meri ruswai tumhe bhi to nigal sakti hai
meri tanhai ko shahnai ka paigam na do
meri ruswai tumhe bhi to nigal sakti hai
meri ruswai

humne insaniyat ka sath diya hai hardam
hum kisi tarah gunaho ke tarafdar nahi
phir bhi har dil me koi dub ke dekhe to zara
kaun hai duniya me aisa jo gunahgar nahi
meri ruswai tumhe bhi to nigal sakti hai
meri tanhai ko shahnai ka paigam na do
meri ruswai tumhe bhi to nigal sakti hai
meri ruswai

jo pachhtap ke ashqo se paak ho na sake
itna daman to kisi ka bhi daagdar nahi
sacche dil se koi insan jo tauba kar le
to gunahgar bhi hoke wo gunahgar nahi
meri ruswai tumhe bhi to nigal sakti hai
meri tanhai ko shahnai ka paigam na do
meri ruswai tumhe bhi to nigal sakti hai
meri ruswai

Do not send the shehnai's call to my solitude,
My disgrace could swallow you whole.
Do not send the shehnai's call to my solitude,
My disgrace could swallow you whole.
She who stained my very garment,
Could burn with envy at your joy's gleam.
My disgrace...

The fire in which you yourself are consumed,
Could transform into a radiant light.
This earth, still scarred by disgrace,
Could transform into a sacred shrine.
My disgrace could swallow you whole.
Do not send the shehnai's call to my solitude,
My disgrace could swallow you whole.
My disgrace...

We have always stood by humanity's side,
We are not advocates of sin.
Yet, if one delves into every heart,
Who in this world is truly without fault?
My disgrace could swallow you whole.
Do not send the shehnai's call to my solitude,
My disgrace could swallow you whole.
My disgrace...

No one's garment is so stained,
It cannot be cleansed by tears of remorse.
If a person repents with a sincere heart,
Even a sinner is no longer a sinner.
My disgrace could swallow you whole.
Do not send the shehnai's call to my solitude,
My disgrace could swallow you whole.
My disgrace...
