mujhe chhod ke kyu gaye
dil tod ke kyun chale
tu hai kaha abhi, tu hai kaha
rahega magar tu jaha
rahega waha dil mera
aur ik baar milenge kya hum
bichda pyaar lautega kya
mujhe chhod ke kyu gaya
dil tod ke kyun chale

ek hi tohfa tune diya
wo bas wo bas teri yaad hai
ek hi yaad tune diya
wo sirf tera pyaar hai
mere dil ke kavyo me
wo hi pyaar nishani hai
badalo se jo kaha
wo hawa ne bhi suna
kya use mere dil ki dhadkan
tune kabhi jaana nahi
mujhe chhod ke kyu gaye
dil tod ke kyu chale

har raat ke sapno me
sirf ek ke saath thi
kal raat bhi sapne me
usi ke saath thi
wo roop tere jaisa tha
wo teri aawaz thi
wo khushboo me anubhuti me
saans mein shriinghar me
tu hi to meri
sandhya mein deepo me bhi
roshni ho gayi
mujhe chhod ke kyu gaye
dil tod ke kyu chale
tu hai kaha abhi, tu hai kaha
rahega magar tu jaha
rahega waha dil mera
aur ik baar milenge kya hum
bichda pyaar lautega kya
mujhe chhod ke kyu gaya
dil tod ke kyu chale

Why did you leave me?
Why did you shatter the heart and depart?
Where are you now, where are you?
Though you may wander,
My heart shall reside there,
And will we meet again?
Will lost love return?
Why did you leave me?
Why did you shatter the heart and depart?

The only gift you gave,
Was simply, only, your memory,
The single thought you bestowed,
Was solely, your love,
In the poems of my heart,
The mark of that love remains.
What I whispered to the clouds,
The wind itself heard,
Did you never know
The beating of my heart?
Why did you leave me?
Why did you shatter the heart and depart?

In the dreams of every night,
I was with only one,
Last night too, in dreams,
I was with that very one,
The form, it was like yours,
It was your voice I heard,
In the scent, in the feeling,
In breath, in adornment,
If you are there,
Even in the evening lamps,
Light has returned,
Why did you leave me?
Why did you shatter the heart and depart?
Where are you now, where are you?
Though you may wander,
My heart shall reside there,
And will we meet again?
Will lost love return?
Why did you leave me?
Why did you shatter the heart and depart?
