zulam hua haye haye
zulam hua haye sitam hua
zulam hua haye sitam hua
chhoti si umariya me
chhoti si umariya me
bas gaye najariya me tum
zulam hua haye sitam hua

mai akeli chali ja rahi thi
mai akeli chali ja rahi thi
sham chupke se dhali ja rahi thi
mil gaye bajariya me
mil gaye bajariya me
bas gaye najariya me tum
zulam hua haye sitam hua
zulam hua haye sitam hua

yu mulakate hone lagi hai
yu mulakate hone lagi hai
ke yahi bate hone lagi hai
aaj sari nagariya me
aaj sari nagariya me
bas gaye najariya me tum
zulam hua haye sitam hua
zulam hua haye sitam hua

bas tere nam ki hai duhai
bas tere nam ki hai duhai
preet aise jiya me hai samai
jaise bijuri badariya me
jaise bijuri badariya me
bas gaye najariya me tum
zulam hua haye sitam hua
zulam hua haye sitam hua
chhoti si umariya me
chhoti si umariya me
bas gaye najariya me tum
zulam hua haye sitam hua
zulam hua haye sitam hua

Alas, injustice, woe betide,
Injustice done, a world defied.
Injustice done, a cruel decree,
In tender years, so young and free,
You settled deep within my sight,
Injustice done, and dimmed my light.

Alone I walked, my path I trod,
Alone I walked, beneath the God.
The evening hushed, the shadows grew,
And silently the twilight flew.
Then in the marketplace we met,
And in my gaze, your soul was set,
Injustice done, a cruel decree,
Injustice done, and wounded me.

And so our meetings gently start,
And so our meetings gently start,
These whispers claim my very heart.
The city knows, the story told,
That you are bound within my hold.
Injustice done, a cruel decree,
Injustice done, and wounded me.

My only plea, your sacred name,
My only plea, your sacred name,
A love that burns, an endless flame.
As lightning cleaves the stormy skies,
Your image in my soul now lies.
Injustice done, a cruel decree,
Injustice done, and wounded me.
In tender years, so young and free,
You settled deep within my sight,
Injustice done, and dimmed my light.
Injustice done, a cruel decree,
Injustice done, and wounded me.
