ye aasu muskurate hai zamane ki zafa par
mohabbat karne wale jan dete hai wafao par
dil ka afsana kahega jal ke parwana
kahega jal ke parwana
ho nahi sakte kabhi hum unse begana
kahega jal ke parwana
dil ka afsana kahega jal ke parwana
kahega jal ke parwana

dil bahut najuk hai lekin gum se takrayenge hum
dil bahut najuk hai lekin gum se takrayenge hum
pyar me tere bhula denge jamane ke gum
tutega nahi ulfat ka jamana tutega nahi ulfat ka jamana
kahega jal ke parwana
dil ka afsana kahega jal ke parwana
kahega jal ke parwana

dar se tere aye jamane ishk jhuk sakta nahi
dar se tere aye jamane ishk jhuk sakta nahi
kaid me rahta hai kab azad parwana kahi
hum nahi honge tere diwana kahega jal ke parwana
dil ka afsana kahega jal ke parwana
kahega jal ke parwana

These tears, they smile at the world's cruel hand,
Lovers offer life for faith's command.
The heart's tale whispers, a moth in flame,
Whispers, a moth in flame.
Never can we be strangers to that name,
Whispers, a moth in flame.
The heart's tale whispers, a moth in flame,
Whispers, a moth in flame.

The heart is fragile, yet grief we'll face,
The heart is fragile, yet grief we'll face.
Lost in your love, we'll forget time and space,
Love's world won't shatter, love's world won't break,
Whispers, a moth in flame.
The heart's tale whispers, a moth in flame,
Whispers, a moth in flame.

Fear of you, O world, can't make love bow,
Fear of you, O world, can't make love bow.
Does a free moth ever live chained somehow?
We won't be yours, but a moth in flame,
The heart's tale whispers, a moth in flame,
Whispers, a moth in flame.
