lo rangin paani ke dhokhe me lake
chale wo chale hamse, daaman chhuda ke
rangin paani ke dhokhe me lake
chale wo chale hamse, daaman chhuda ke
rangin paani ke

mohabbat ka pahle bhi, hamko nasha tha
mohabbat ke pahle bhi, hamko nasha tha
mila kya nashe me, nashe ko mila ke
mila kya nashe me, nashe ko mila ke
rangin paani ke dhokhe me lake
chale wo chale hamse, daaman chhuda ke
rangin paani ke

sata ke bhi dekho, milake bhi dekho
sata ke bhi dekho, milake bhi dekho
tumhe yaad rakhenge, khud ko bhula ke
tumhe yaad rakhenge, khud ko bhula ke
rangin paani ke dhokhe me lake
chale wo chale hamse, daaman chhuda ke
rangin paani ke

They came, drawing us with painted lies,
then fled, their touch a fading disguise.
With painted waters, a deceptive gleam,
they left, severing a broken dream.
Painted waters.

We knew love's haze before they appeared,
we knew love's haze, a solace endeared.
What remained from the fever's heat?
What did we gain, in love's defeat?
Painted waters.

Torture us, or offer a gentle hand,
torture us, or in love understand.
We'll cherish your ghost, our selves forsake,
we'll cherish your ghost, for your sweet sake.
Painted waters,
they came, drawing us with painted lies,
then fled, severing a broken dream.
Painted waters.
