aye dil machal machal ke yu rota hai bar bar kyu
aye dil machal machal ke yu rota hai bar bar kyu
apna chaman ujad gaya aayegi ab bahar kyu
apna chaman ujad gaya aayegi ab bahar kyu
aye dil machal machal ke yu rota hai bar bar kyu
pahle jara hasa diya ji bhar ke fir rula diya
pahle jara hasa diya ji bhar ke fir rula diya

kismat pe ishtiyar kya kismat ka atbar kya
apna chaman ujad gaya aayegi ab bahar kya
aye dil machal machal ke yu rota hai bar bar kyu
tu kahe is tarah se dil kaap uthi hai jindagi
kaanp uthi hai jindagi tu kahe is tarah se dil
kaanp uthi hai jindagi kaanp uthi hai jindagi
jite ji ham to mar gaye maut ka intzar kya
apna chaman ujad gaya aayegi ab bahar kyu
aye dil machal machal ke yu rota hai bar bar kyu

Why does the heart, restless, weep so, again and again?
Why does the heart, restless, weep so, again and again?
Our garden's withered, why should spring return again?
Our garden's withered, why should spring return again?
Why does the heart, restless, weep so, again and again?
First, it made us laugh, until our hearts were full, then brought us tears.
First, it made us laugh, until our hearts were full, then brought us tears.

What trust in fate, what faith in destiny's decree?
Our garden's withered, why should spring return again?
Why does the heart, restless, weep so, again and again?
Why does life tremble so, the heart itself shudders?
Life trembles so, the heart itself shudders.
Life trembles so, life trembles so.
We died while living, what need now for death to call?
Our garden's withered, why should spring return again?
Why does the heart, restless, weep so, again and again?
