pyar ko mat kaho koi pyar
ye to hai talwar ki dhar
isme hasne ke din hai do re
lekin rone ke din hai hajar
pyar ko mat kaho koi pyar

aisi bedard duniya me haye
kyu koi dil kisi se lagaye
itni majburiyo itni lachariyo
me rahe zindagi
pyar ko mat kaho koi pyar

lakho khamosh aankho ke aansu
mujhse kahte mohabbat na kar tu
kitne gam hai hardam
sukh ki ghadiya hai kam
aur sitam bhi to hai besumar
pyar ko mat kaho koi pyar

Don't call this love, just love,
For it is the razor's edge, a honed blade.
Two days to laugh, perhaps,
But a thousand to weep, betrayed.
Don't call this love, just love.

In a world so cruel, so heartless, alas,
Why does a heart seek another's embrace?
So many burdens, so many chains,
Life endures in this harsh space.
Don't call this love, just love.

The tears of silent eyes, in their flood,
Whisper, "Do not love, you must not, good."
So much sorrow, always near,
Moments of joy, become so rare.
And the injustice, it knows no end.
Don't call this love, just love.
