ye dil ki majburiyan aur ye pyase nain
uljhan ki is raat me do dil hain bechain
ye dil ki majburiyan

puch raha hain chand gagan ka hum kyu hain majbur
puch raha hain chand gagan ka hum kyu hain majbur
sath hain dono paas hain dono phir bhi kitne dur
kis dar ne kis soch ne chhina inka chain
ye dil ki majburiyan

apni manjil pe aakar bhi
kyu ye dil ghabrayein
apni manjil pe aakar bhi
kyu ye dil ghabrayein
dil ghabrayein nind na aaye
har aahat chaukaaye
anjane is desh me kaate kate na rain
ye dil ki majburiyan

pyar agar hain paas to batla
ae duniya nadan
pyar agar hain paas to batla
ae duniya nadan
tujhme aisa kya hain jispe naaj kare insaan
in aasuo ki preet me jab uljhe do nain
ye dil ki majburiyan aur ye pyase nain
ye dil ki majburiyan

These hearts, bound, and these thirsty eyes,
In this tangled night, two souls in unrest reside.
These hearts, bound.

The moon inquires, of the sky's vast expanse, why bound we are,
The moon inquires, of the sky's vast expanse, why bound we are.
Together, near, yet worlds apart, however far.
What fear, what thought, stole peace from their design?
These hearts, bound.

At their destination, yet why
Does the heart still tremble and sigh?
At their destination, yet why
Does the heart still tremble and sigh?
The heart trembles, sleep evades,
Each sound alarms, pervades.
In this unknown land, the long nights unwind,
These hearts, bound.

Love, if close, then tell,
O world so naive, reveal.
Love, if close, then tell,
O world so naive, reveal.
What in you, for which mankind doth boast and feel?
When in the tears of love, two eyes entwine,
These hearts, bound, and these thirsty eyes,
These hearts, bound.
