saiya kyu aaye mujhe angadai haye ye kaisi nazar milai
kate na ye tanhai mar na dale teri judai
tere bin dekha raha nahi jaye tere bin dekha raha nahi jaye
pyar ye mera tujhko bulaye pyar ye mera tujhko bulaye
sune kab bat jiya harjai bol ye kaise lagan lagai
kate na ye tanhai mar na dale teri judai

kabhi sharamau kabhi ghabrau kabhi sharamau kabhi ghabrau
bat mai dil ki kaha batau bat mai dil ki kaha batau
kahe hazar najar sharmaye haye re jalim teri duhai
saiya kyu aaye mujhe angadai haye ye kaisi nazar milai

khile jab nile gagan par tare khile jab nile gagan par tare
aan ke milna nadi kinare aan ke milna nadi kinare
nahi gum aaj jo ho ruswai pyar ki ab to kasam khai
kate na ye tanhai mar na dale teri judai

Why does this languor seize me, oh, why?
A gaze has met mine, a shadowed sigh.
This solitude, how it cuts and stings,
Your absence, a death, the sorrow it brings.
Without you, the world, I cannot see,
Without you, it's a tragedy.
My love, it calls to you, a yearning plea,
My love, it calls to you, endlessly.

Listen, heart, you fickle, wandering thing,
What fire have you ignited, what passion to sing?
This solitude, how it cuts and stings,
Your absence, a death, the sorrow it brings.

Sometimes shy, sometimes I tremble so,
My heart's deep secrets, where do they go?
A thousand shy glances, where do they roam,
My heart's deep secrets, where do they roam?
Why does this languor seize me, oh, why?
A gaze has met mine, a shadowed sigh.

When stars ignite the azure night,
When stars ignite the azure night,
Meet me then, by the river's light,
Meet me then, by the river's light.
No sorrow now, for a love denied,
By love's own oath, I now abide.
This solitude, how it cuts and stings,
Your absence, a death, the sorrow it brings.
