bhulne waale, bhulne waale
bhulane ke din yaad aate hai
dard ban ke meri
nas nas me chubhe jaate hai
ae dil kaha le jaau
ae dil kaha le jaau, ab kaun thikana hai
ae dil kaha le jaau, ab kaun thikana hai
apne na huye apne, ye kaisa zamana hai
apne na huye apne, ye kaisa zamana hai

bijali mohabbat kosida, toofan qayamat ka
bijali mohabbat kosida, toofan qayamat ka
hansna bhi to duniya me
hansna bhi to duniya me, rone ka bahana hai
hansna bhi to duniya me, rone ka bahana hai

fir aankh bhar aayi hai, fir yaad teri aayi
fir aankh bhar aayi hai, fir yaad teri aayi
ye geet hain dardile
ye geet hain dardile, ye raag rulana hai
ye geet hain dardile, ye raag rulana hai
ae dil kaha le jaau, ae dil kaha le jaau
ae dil kaha le jaau, ae dil kaha le jaau
ae dil kaha le jaau, ab kaun tikana hai
apne na huye apne, ye kaisa zamana hai

Those who forget, the forgetful ones,
Days of oblivion, they return to me.
Like a sharp ache,
They pierce and linger in every vein of me.
O heart, where can I go now?
O heart, where can I go, where is my haven?
O heart, where can I go, where is my haven?
Even my own turn strangers, what age is this?
Even my own turn strangers, what age is this?

Lightning of love, a funeral pyre, a storm of judgment,
Lightning of love, a funeral pyre, a storm of judgment,
Even laughter in this world,
Even laughter in this world, is just a reason to weep.
Even laughter in this world, is just a reason to weep.

Again, the eyes well up, again your memory,
Again, the eyes well up, again your memory,
These songs are of pain,
These songs are of pain, a melody that weeps.
These songs are of pain, a melody that weeps.
O heart, where can I go, O heart, where can I go?
O heart, where can I go, O heart, where can I go?
O heart, where can I go, where is my haven?
Even my own turn strangers, what age is this?
