o zalim bedardi baalam
dil me dard tumhare hain
tum jo hamse bichhad gaye
ham dhundh dhundh ke haare ahin
dard-e-dil ke mare hain
dard-e-dil ke mare hain

jisaka naam zamana hian
kaam uska thukurana hain
jisaka naam zamana hian
kaam uska thukurana hain
ye badnaam jawani hain
aur ye mera afsana hain
hanste hain meri haalat pe
jitane chand sitare hain
tum jo hamse bichhad gaye
ham dhundh dhundh ke haare ahin
dard-e-dil ke mare hain
dard-e-dil ke mare hain

ashq bhari hain aankhe meri
dard bhara sina hain mera
ashq bhari hain aankhe meri
dard bhara sina hain mera
yu to main jeeti hu lekin
ye bhi koi jaane hain mera
khushiyo se anjaan zamane
gam ke sath gujare hain
tum jo hamse bichhad gaye
ham dhundh dhundh ke haare ahin
dard-e-dil ke mare hain
dard-e-dil ke mare hain

Oh, cruel, heartless beloved,
In my heart, your ache resides.
When you departed from my side,
I searched and searched, my soul denied.
By the pain of the heart, I'm bound,
By the pain of the heart, I'm drowned.
Oh, oh.

This world, whose name is Time,
Its task, to cast aside.
This world, whose name is Time,
Its task, to cast aside.
This youth, defamed, maligned,
And this, my mournful rhyme.
They laugh at my plight,
All the moons and the stars that shine.
When you departed from my side,
I searched and searched, my soul denied.
By the pain of the heart, I'm bound,
By the pain of the heart, I'm drowned.
Oh, oh.

Tears that fill my eyes,
A chest that bears such pain.
Tears that fill my eyes,
A chest that bears such pain.
Though I live, I breathe, I rise,
Is this truly life I claim?
Unknowing of joy, this world's decree,
With sorrow, my days are chained.
When you departed from my side,
I searched and searched, my soul denied.
By the pain of the heart, I'm bound,
By the pain of the heart, I'm drowned.
Oh, oh.
