tuhi bata de mujhko aye dil
bhul hui kya meri
bhul hui kya meri, ek din
ek din jab mere sune ghar me
ghani raat ghir aayi thi
tab chupke se aake
kisi ne deep ki baati jalai thi
aayi hawa, aayi hawa bujh gaya deep
or aa gayi rain andheri
tuhi bata de mujhko aye dil
bhul hui kya meri
bhul hui kya meri

gujra jamana phir aaya
gujra jamana phir aaya
aanchal me deep chhipake
ek saloni khadi ho gayi
dur kahi se aake
bich raah me aake
man ne kiya ujiyar magar
khushiyo ne najar na pheri
tuhi bata de bata de
bhul hui kya meri
bhul hui kya meri

Tell me, oh heart,
what wrong did I commit?
What wrong did I commit, one day?
One day, when shadows crept
into my desolate home,
silently, someone came
and lit a lamp's fragile flame.
Then came the wind, the wind, the flame was gone,
and darkness poured its heavy rain.
Tell me, oh heart,
what wrong did I commit?
What wrong did I commit?

The past returned,
the past returned,
hiding a lamp within her veil,
a beautiful vision appeared,
arrived from a distant shore,
and stood in the middle of the road.
The heart lit up with hope and light,
but joy averted its gaze from me.
Tell me, tell me,
what wrong did I commit?
What wrong did I commit?
