prem hi jaane prem ki maya
prem hi jaane prem ki maya
humse kahi na jaaye maya
humse kahi na jaaye maya
humse kahi na jaaye

nain dekhte rahe tamasha
nain dekhte rahe tamasha
sukh dukh chor churaayo maya
humse kahi na jaaye maya
humse kahi na jaaye

jitni maati khode johad
utna hi badh jaaye
jitna sajan ko koi bhule
jitna sajan ko koi bhule
utna hi yaad aaye maaya
humse kahi na jaaye maya
humse kahi na jaaye

pyaasi aankhe ek na maane
laaj bahut samjhaaye
pyaasi aankhe ek na maane
laaj bahut samjhaaye
jo man bhulat kara
jo man bhulat kara

Love alone knows love's true dance,
Love alone knows love's true dance.
This mystery, it can't be said,
This mystery, it can't be said,
It can't be said by us.

Eyes watch on, a silent play,
Eyes watch on, a silent play.
Joy and sorrow, stolen away,
This mystery, it can't be said,
It can't be said by us.

The more the earth, the well does claim,
The more it grows, a hungry flame.
The more one forgets the Beloved's face,
The more one forgets the Beloved's face,
The more remembrance finds its space,
This mystery, it can't be said,
It can't be said by us.

Thirsty eyes, they will not yield,
Shame and reason, on the field.
Thirsty eyes, they will not yield,
Shame and reason, on the field.
When the heart wanders astray,
When the heart wanders astray...
