dil de ke kisi ke gunaho ki
bhagwan tune kyu bhagwan tune kyu
meri duniya tabah ki mujhko sajaye de ke
nanhe se ek dil ko diye tune gham pe gham
nanhe se ek dil ko diye tune gham pe gham
ek jindagi ki raah me thak gaye kadam
mai dhul bhi na ban saki pritam ke raah ki
bhagwan tune kyu bhagwan tune kyu
meri duniya tabah ki mujhko sajaye de ke

ab kya kahu ke dard se mai chur chur hu
ab kya kahu ke dard se mai chur chur hu
mujhko in asuo ki kasam bekasur hu
tujhko pukare bebasi meri nigah ki
bhagwan tune kyu bhagwan tune kyu
meri duniya tabah ki mujhko sajaye de ke

duniya me ab mere liye koi khushi nahi
duniya me ab mere liye koi khushi nahi
jine ko jee rahi hu magar zindagi nahi
ab maut se karungi mai surat nivah ki
bhagwan tune kyu bhagwan tune kyu
meri duniya tabah ki mujhko sajaye de ke

You, God, why did you, oh why,
Gift another's sins, then mine destroy?
A world laid waste, a sentence I now keep,
To a small heart, grief you did heap.
Grief upon grief, a burden to bear,
A path of life, where steps despair.
I could not be dust beneath his feet,
You, God, why did you, oh why,
My world laid waste, a punishment I meet.

What words now can I find, so shattered, torn?
What words now, as through agony I'm worn?
By tears I swear, innocent, I plead,
My helpless gaze, you still don't heed.
You, God, why did you, oh why,
My world laid waste, a punishment I meet.

No joy remains, in this world for me,
No joy remains, for all to see,
I live, yet life has fled its trace,
Now death I seek, embrace.
You, God, why did you, oh why,
My world laid waste, a punishment I meet.
