ai mere dil-e-nada tu gam se na ghabarana
ai mere dil-e-nada tu gam se na ghabarana
ek din to samajh legi duniya tera afasana
ai mere dil-e-nada tu gam se na ghabarana

araman bhare dil me zakhmo ko jagah de de
bhadake hue sholo ko kuchh aur hava de de
banati hai to ban jae ye zindagi afasana
ai mere dil-e-nada tu gam se na ghabarana

fariyad se kya hasil rone se natija kya
bekar hai ye bate in bato se hoga kya
apana bhi ghadi bhar me ban jata hai begana
ai mere dil-e-nada tu gam se na ghabarana

Oh, my heart, so naive, do not fear sorrow's sting,
For one day, the world will grasp the tale you sing.
Oh, my heart, so naive, do not fear sorrow's sting.

In a heart brimming with dreams, let wounds find their space,
Fan the flames that rage, give their fire more grace.
If a story it must become, let life's script begin,
Oh, my heart, so naive, do not fear sorrow's sting.

What is gained by a cry, what fruits tears will bear?
Useless are these words, of what use is despair?
Even our own selves may turn strangers within,
Oh, my heart, so naive, do not fear sorrow's sting.
