sukh chain liya dukh chhod diya
dil hasi hasi me tod diya
o janewale ye kya kiya
o janewale ye kya kiya

lehre umdi sahil tuta
dil se takra kar dil tuta haye dil tuta
majhdhar me lakar haye chhod diya
o janewale ye kya kiya
haye o janewale ye kya kiya

ya pahle hi thukra dete
ya manzil tak pahucha dete
pahucha dete ya pahle hi thukra dete
ya manzil tak pahucha dete pahucha dete
kyu rah me lakar haye chhod diya
o jane wale ye kya kiya
o jane wale ye kya kiya

ehsan agar karna tha tujhe
kyu kar na diya barbad mujhe
barbad mujhe ehsan agar karna tha tujhe
kyu kar na diya barbad mujhe
barbad mujhe par kat liye haye dil tod diya
o janewale ye kya kiya

Comfort embraced, then sorrow released,
A laughing heart, shattered, deceased.
O, departing one, what have you done?
O, departing one, what have you spun?

Waves surged high, the shore gave way,
Heart on heart, in ruins lay.
Midst the current's pull, you left me there,
O, departing one, beyond compare.
O, departing one, what did you dare?

You could have spurned me at the start,
Or led me on to reach the heart.
To the heart, or cast me aside,
To the heart, where dreams reside.
Why leave me stranded on the way?
O, departing one, what did you say?
O, departing one, what did you betray?

If kindness was your wish to show,
Why not utterly destroy me so?
Destroy me so, if kindness you craved,
Why not utterly destroy me, saved?
Destroyed, my wings clipped, heart now torn,
O, departing one, forever mourned.
