bata de aye dil dil lagana na ras aaye to kya karu
bata de aye dil dil lagana na ras aaye to kya karu
kidhar jau mai ye jamana na ras aaye to kya karu
batade aye dil

jamane ki prawah taswir hu mai
bandhi apne paw me janjir hu mai
mujhe tuti kismat banana na raas aaye to kya karu
bata de aye dil dil lagana na ras aaye to kya karu
bata de aye dil

gagan ke basiya tu dharti pe aaja
uthale tu ab mere dil ka janaja
mujhe maut ko manana bhi na ras aaye to kya karu
bata de aye dil dil lagana na ras aaye to kya karu
bata de aye dil

Tell me, O heart, what if love brings no ease?
Tell me, O heart, what if love brings no ease?
Where can I go, if the world offers no peace?
Tell me, O heart.

I am a reflection of the world's disdain,
A prisoner bound in shackles of pain.
What if my broken fate cannot be mended?
Tell me, O heart, what if love brings no ease?
Tell me, O heart.

Come down from the heavens, inhabit the earth,
Take my heart's funeral, grant me rebirth.
What if I cannot even embrace death's plea?
Tell me, O heart, what if love brings no ease?
Tell me, O heart.
