mu: sochataa hun ye kyaa
ye kyaa kiyaa maine
kyaa ye saradard le liyaa maine

la: sochati hun ye kyaa
ye kyaa kiyaa maine
kyo ye saradard le liyaa maine

mu: kaun hai ye kahaan se aai hai
ye to apani nahi paraai hai
aisi chachal sharir aur jhuthi
phir bhi dil ko ye aisi bhaai hai
haath haatho me le liyaa maine
dil-e-naadaa ye kyaa kiyaa maine
sochataa hun ye kyaa

la: dekh kar yu vo muskuraayaa kyu
muskuraayaa thaa paas aayaa kyu
naak itani si aap itanaa saa
phir bhi meri nazar ko bhaayaa kyu
isako arpan kiyaa hiyaa maine
dil-e-naadaa ye kyaa kiyaa maine

mu: raat din ishq kaa jo ronaa thaa
la: lijiye ho gayaa jo honaa thaa
mu: ye jo qaafir dhadak rahaa hai yahaan
is ne ek din mujhe dubonaa thaa
dil-e-naadaa ye kyaa kiyaa maine
la: jo kiyaa thik hi kiyaa maine
dil kaa raushan kiyaa diyaa maine
mu: sochataa hun ye kyaa

I ponder, what is this,
This deed I've spun?
This ache, this burden,
Did I claim this one?

She asks the same,
This act of mine,
Why this headache,
Did I make it mine?

Who is she, whence does she spring?
Not of us, a foreign thing.
Fickle form, a whispered lie,
Yet my heart, to her, does cling.
Her hand in mine, embraced so fast,
My foolish heart, what have you cast?
I ponder, what is this...

Why did she smile, a fleeting grace?
Smile, then draw so near my space?
A nose so small, she, barely there,
Yet captured my wandering gaze.
My heart I offered, with open door,
My foolish heart, what did you pour?

Day and night, love's mournful sound,
Behold, what was, is now unbound.
This infidel, that beats within,
Was destined, one day, to drown.
My foolish heart, what have you done?
What's done is done, the race is run.
I ponder, what is this...
