pyar hi mujhe darkar hai
pyar hi mujhe darkar hai
agar unka pyar ho baho ka haar ho
sone chandi ke haar kya karungi
pyar hi mujhe darkar hai

dil mujhko chahiye ghar leke kya karu
unki talash hai dar leke kya karu
dil mujhko chahiye ghar leke kya karu
unki talash hai dar leke kya karu
jab wohi kho gaye oro ke ho gaye
fir mai solah singar kya karungi
pyar hi mujhe darkar hai

chahat ki raah me kanta bhi phul hai
chahat ko tolna dunia ki bhul hai
chahat ki raah me kanta bhi phul hai
chahat ko tolna dunia ki bhul hai
sachi hasi mile dil ki khushi mile
tan pe resham ke tar kya karungi
pyar hi mujhe darkar hai

Love, that is my only need.
Love, that is my only need.
If their love is a garland for my arms,
What use are gold and silver, I ask?
Love, that is my only need.

A heart I crave, what use is a house?
Their seeking, what use is a door?
A heart I crave, what use is a house?
Their seeking, what use is a door?
When they are lost, gone astray,
What use are adornments, sixteenfold array?
Love, that is my only need.

On the path of longing, thorns bloom as flowers,
To measure love is the world's folly.
On the path of longing, thorns bloom as flowers,
To measure love is the world's folly.
If true laughter blooms, if joy fills the heart,
What use are silken threads upon my frame?
Love, that is my only need.
