badi muskil hai azab mera dil hai
na jane kise dhunde na jane kise chahe
badi muskil hai azab mera dil hai
na jane kise dhunde na jane kise chahe

sakhyio se chupti firu kahi dil na lage
rato ko tare gine falak bhi na lage
mere sang sang meri nindiya bhi sari raat jage
mere sang sang meri nindiya bhi sari raat jage
badi muskil hai azab mera dil hai
na jane kise dhunde na jane kise chahe

sapne aaye man lalchaye jake fir na aaye
jake fir na aaye
dil nadan ye arman machle or rah jaye
machle or rah jaye
badi muskil hai azab mera dil hai
na jane kise dhunde na jane kise chahe

aye dil ye tuhi bara unhe dhundu kaha
sapno me dekha jinhe milegne wo kaha
bin karan angan me kya sochu khadi khadi
bin karan angan me kya sochu khadi khadi
badi muskil hai azab mera dil hai
na jane kise dhunde na jane kise chahe
badi muskil hai azab mera dil hai
na jane kise dhunde na jane kise chahe

A curious plight, this heart of mine,
Seeking, I know not whom, nor what design.
A curious plight, this heart of mine,
Seeking, I know not whom, nor what design.

From my friends, I hide, no peace I find,
Counting stars at night, sleep left behind.
My slumber stays awake, by my side,
My slumber stays awake, by my side.
A curious plight, this heart of mine,
Seeking, I know not whom, nor what design.

Dreams arrive, my heart ablaze, then fade,
Then fade away.
This foolish heart, with longing swayed,
And is left to stay.
A curious plight, this heart of mine,
Seeking, I know not whom, nor what design.

Oh, heart, tell me, where shall I seek,
Those I've seen in dreams, where shall we meet?
For no cause, in the courtyard, I stand and stare,
For no cause, in the courtyard, I stand and stare.
A curious plight, this heart of mine,
Seeking, I know not whom, nor what design.
A curious plight, this heart of mine,
Seeking, I know not whom, nor what design.
