o bekarar dil, o bekarar dil
ho chuka hain mujhko aansuo se pyar
mujhe tu khushi na de
nayi jindagi na de
o bekarar dil
ho chuka hain mujhko aansuo se pyar
mujhe tu khushi na de
nayi jindagi na de
o bekarar dil

mili chaman ko bahaar, hasi phul ko mili
mili chaman ko bahaar, hasi phul ko mili
geet koyal ko mile, aur maine payi khaamoshi
mujhe baasuri na de koi ragini na de
o bekarar dil
ho chuka hain mujhko aansuo se pyar
mujhe tu khushi na de
nayi jindagi na de
o bekarar dil

aaye ghata ghir ke ghata chhaye
aur pyasi kali gam ki jali taras taras jaye
aaye ghata ghir ke ghata chhaye
aur pyasi kali gam ki jali taras taras jaye

rahe sada jo mera, wahi meri jindagi
rahe sada jo mera, wahi meri jindagi
hain roj andhera, aur chaar din ki chandni
mujhe chandni na de mujhe roshani na de
o bekarar dil
ho chuka hain mujhko aansuo se pyar
mujhe tu khushi na de
nayi jindagi na de
o bekarar dil

Oh, restless heart, oh, restless heart,
I have found love in tears, a sacred art.
Do not grant me joy,
Nor a life reborn, deploy,
Oh, restless heart,
I have found love in tears, a sacred art.
Do not grant me joy,
Nor a life reborn, deploy,
Oh, restless heart.

The garden blooms, the flower laughs with glee,
The garden blooms, the flower laughs with glee,
The songbird sings, but silence falls on me.
Give no flute to me, no melody's embrace,
Oh, restless heart,
I have found love in tears, a sacred art.
Do not grant me joy,
Nor a life reborn, deploy,
Oh, restless heart.

Dark clouds gather, shadows start to creep,
And thirsty buds of sorrow weep, and deeply sleep.
Dark clouds gather, shadows start to creep,
And thirsty buds of sorrow weep, and deeply sleep.

What remains with me, that is my life's core,
What remains with me, that is my life's core,
Darkness reigns, a fleeting glimpse of light to implore.
Give no moon to me, no ray of sun's bright grace,
Oh, restless heart,
I have found love in tears, a sacred art.
Do not grant me joy,
Nor a life reborn, deploy,
Oh, restless heart.
