sajani kyu pyar jagaya tha
kyu pyar jagaya tha
kyu chhup kar badali me chanda muskaya tha
kyu pyar jagaya tha
sajani kyu pyar jagaya tha
naino me basane wale
ho milke bichhadne wale
naino me basne wale
ho milke bichhadne wale
bhule huye rahi ko kyu mit banaya tha
kyu pyar jagaya tha
sajani kyu pyar jagaya tha

ek rat ho chupke chupke
dariya ke kinare chhupke
ek rat ho chupke chupke
dariya ke kinare chhupke
naino ke isharo se
naino ke isharo se
kyu mujhko bulaya tha
kyu mujhko bulaya tha
jiwan ke sathi chhute
aasha ke bandhan tute
jiwan ke sathi chhute
aasha ke bandhan tute
tute jin sapno ka sansar banaya tha
kyu pyar jagaya tha
sajani kyu pyar jagaya tha

Beloved, why did you awaken love?
Why did you awaken love?
Why did the moon, hidden in clouds, smile?
Why did you awaken love?
Beloved, why did you awaken love?
Dweller of my eyes,
You who met, then departed,
Dweller of my eyes,
You who met, then departed,
Why did you befriend a lost traveler?
Why did you awaken love?
Beloved, why did you awaken love?

One night, secretly, silently,
By the river's edge, hidden away,
One night, secretly, silently,
By the river's edge, hidden away,
With the language of your eyes,
With the language of your eyes,
Why did you call to me?
Why did you awaken love?
Companions of life departed,
Bonds of hope shattered,
Companions of life departed,
Bonds of hope shattered,
The world of dreams, once built, now broken,
Why did you awaken love?
Beloved, why did you awaken love?
