sabak aisa padha diya tune
dil se sab kuch bhula diya tune
sabak aisa padha diya tune
dil se sab kuch bhula diya tune
lakh dene ka ek dena hai
o o o lakh dene ka ek dena hai
dil-e-bemuda diya tune
betlab jo mila mila mujhko
betlab jo mila mila mujhko
begaraz jo diya diya tune
sabak aisa padha diya tune
dil se sab kuch bhula diya tune

mujh gunahgaar ko jo bakhsh diya
mujh gunahgaar ko jo bakhsh diya
to jahanum ko kya diya tune
daag ko kaun dene wala tha
jo diya ai khuda diya tune
sabak aisa sabak aisa
sabak aisa sabak aisa
sabak aisa padha diya tune
dil se sab kuch bhula diya tune

You taught a lesson, etched in fire,
Erasing all desire.
You taught a lesson, cold and deep,
From the heart, you stole all sleep.
To give a thousand, then to seize,
Oh, to give a thousand, then to appease,
A heart bereft, a hollow space,
A meaningless embrace.
What I found, without a need,
What you gave, a selfless deed.
You taught a lesson, stark and bare,
From the heart, you stole all care.

To this sinner, you did show,
To this sinner, you did bestow,
What, then, did you give to hell?
Who could mend the wounds that fell?
What you gave, my God, you gave,
You taught a lesson, past the grave.
A lesson taught, a lesson learned,
You taught a lesson, fiercely burned.
You taught a lesson, sharp and true,
From the heart, you took all you knew.
