tumhe dil se chaha tha hamne, magar tum huye na hamare
tumhe dil se chaha tha hamne, magar tum huye na hamare
hamhi se hi ye berukhi kyun, sabhi dost hain tumko pyare
tumhe dil se chaha tha hamne, magar tum huye na hamare
hamhi se hi ye berukhi kyun, sabhi dost hain tumko pyare
tumhe dil se chaha tha hamne, magar tum huye na hamare

jo kabil na the dosti ke, rahe paas wo aap hi ke
jo kabil na the dosti ke, rahe paas wo aap hi ke
hame bas adavat se dekha, na ik din mohabbat se dekha
tumhe dil se chaha tha hamne, magar tum huye na hamare
hamhi se hi ye berukhi kyun, sabhi dost hain tumko pyare
tumhe dil se chaha tha hamne, magar tum huye na hamare

karo lakh inke nazare, kisike na honge sitare
karo lakh inke nazare, kisike na honge sitare
ye bas dekh ne me hai pyare, chhuo to ye shole sharare
tumhe dil se chaha tha hamne, magar tum huye na hamare
hamhi se hi ye berukhi kyun, sabhi dost hain tumko pyare
tumhe dil se chaha tha hamne, magar tum huye na hamare

hasi jitni jiski ada hai, ke utna hi wo bewafa hai
hasi jitni jiski ada hai, ke utna hi wo bewafa hai
ke patthar ka inka jigar hai, wafa ka na in pe asar hai
tumhe dil se chaha tha hamne, magar tum huye na hamare
hamhi se hi ye berukhi kyun, sabhi dost hain tumko pyare
tumhe dil se chaha tha hamne, magar tum huye na hamare
magar tum huye na hamare

I held you close within my heart's embrace,
I held you close, yet you remained apart.
Why is this coldness mine alone to face,
While all your other friends still hold your heart?
I held you close within my heart's embrace.

Those undeserving, clinging to your side,
Those undeserving, basking in your sun,
They're welcomed with affection, open wide,
While I am met with enmity, undone.
I held you close within my heart's embrace.

Admire them all, their fleeting, shining grace,
Admire them all, their beauty, bright and bold,
They'll never be a star in any space,
Touch them, and you'll find embers, icy cold.
I held you close within my heart's embrace,
Why is this coldness mine alone to face,
While all your other friends still hold your heart?
I held you close within my heart's embrace.

The fairer that their guise, the less they're true,
The fairer that their guise, the less they're true,
Their hearts are stone, they feel no love for you,
No echo of devotion they imbue.
I held you close within my heart's embrace,
Why is this coldness mine alone to face,
While all your other friends still hold your heart?
I held you close within my heart's embrace,
Yet you remained apart.
