ye dunia badi bewafa ho gayi
yaha bewafai ada ho gayi
na jane jamane ko kya ho gaya
mohabbat jaha se fanah ho gayi
daga deke na jayiyo daga deke na jayiyo
balam ho pardeshi daga deke na jayiyo
balam ho pardeshi
balam pardeshi ho sajan pardeshi
daga deke na jayiyo
balam pardeshi daga deke na jayiyo

mohabbat me daga acha nahi hai
ye andaze zafa acha nahi hai
wafa ka nam ruswa ho na jaye
mohabbat ek tamasha ho na jaye
wafa ka nam ruswa ho na jaye
mohabbat ek tamasha ho na jaye
mere dil hi me rahiyo mere dil hi me rahiyo
balam pardeshi daga deke na jayiyo
balam pardeshi daga deke na jayiyo

laga kar dil nibhana farz hoga
lahad tak sath jana farz hoga
jo ye manjur hai dil lijiyega
samjh kar soch kar ha kijiyega
jo ye manjur hai dil lijiyega
samjh kar soch kar ha kijiyega
jhuthi batiya na kahiyo jhuthi batiya na kahiyo
balam pardeshi daga deke na jayiyo
balam pardeshi daga deke na jayiyo
balam pardeshi ho sajan pardesi
daga deke ja jayiyo
balam pardeshi daga deke na jayiyo

The world has turned a traitor's guise,
Where betrayal blooms, a wicked prize.
What plague has struck this mortal sphere,
That love itself now disappears?

Do not depart with treachery's sting,
My love, a stranger, take wing.
Beloved stranger, my love so far,
Do not depart, break my heart.

In love's embrace, deceit's a blight,
Such cruelty, a sorry sight.
Lest faithfulness be shamed and scorned,
And love a spectacle, forlorn.
Lest faithfulness be shamed and scorned,
And love a spectacle, forlorn.
Within my heart, forever reside,
My love, a stranger, do not hide.

Once hearts are joined, duty's command,
To walk together, hand in hand.
Until the grave, this pact remains,
If this you choose, then ease my pains.
If this you choose, then ease my pains.
Consider well, before love reigns.
False promises, do not impart,
My love, a stranger, break not my heart.

Beloved stranger, my love so far,
Do not depart, break my heart.
