zara sambhal ke dil lagana
ke chalbaz hai jamana
ja kisi se dil laga ke dekh le
dard kadiya jala ke dekh le
ja kisi se dil laga ke dekh le
dard ka diya jala ke dekh le
jalega aap re kahega baap re
lagi hai aag to bujhna
zara sambhal ke dil lagana
ke chalbaz hai jamana

baat ye khogi mai hazaar mai
ek maja hai do dilo ke pyaar mai
baat ye khogi mai hazaar mai
ek maja hai do dilo ke pyaar mai
magar ye dar lage ke dil na tod de
kiska mil ke ruth jana
zara sambhal ke dil lagana
ke chalbaz hai jamana

Tread lightly, when the heart takes flight,
For the world is a deceiver, shrouded in night.
Go, give your heart, and truly see,
Light the lamp of pain, and let it be.
Go, give your heart, and truly see,
Light the lamp of pain, and let it be.
It will burn you, cry out in dismay,
A fire ignited, you cannot stay.
Tread lightly, when the heart takes flight,
For the world is a deceiver, shrouded in night.

A thousand times, I'll whisper low,
In two hearts entwined, a sweet joy will flow.
A thousand times, I'll whisper low,
In two hearts entwined, a sweet joy will flow.
But fear the breaking, the shattering blow,
Of meeting and parting, the tears that will grow.
Tread lightly, when the heart takes flight,
For the world is a deceiver, shrouded in night.
