chain se hamako kabhi apane jine na diya
zahar bhi chaha agar, pina to pine na diya
chain se hamako kabhi

chand ke rath men rat ki dulhan jab jab aegi
yad hamari apake dil ko tarasa jaegi
aapane jo hai diya, vo to kisine na diya
zahar bhi chaha agar, pina to pine na diya
chain se hamako kabhi apane jine na diya
zahar bhi chaha agar, pina to pine na diya
chain se hamako kabhi

aapaka gam jo is dil men din-rat agar hoga
sochake ye dam ghutata hai phir kaise guzar hoga
kash na hoti apani judai maut hi a jati
koi bahane chain hamari ruuh to pa jati
ik pal hansana kabhi dil ki lagi ne na diya
zahar bhi chaha agar, pina to pine na diya
chain se hamako kabhi

You never let us truly live in peace,
Denied the poison, even when we sought release.
You never let us truly breathe.

When the moon's chariot bears the bride of night,
Will your heart ache, remembering our light?
What you offered, none could ever lend,
Denied the poison, until the very end.
You never let us truly live in peace,
Denied the poison, when we sought release.
You never let us truly breathe.

If your sorrow dwells within this heart's core,
The thought of it chokes us, what lies in store?
Would separation cease, if only death would come,
And in that solace, our soul would become numb?
One moment of laughter, the heart's fire forbade,
Denied the poison, the choice we never made.
You never let us truly breathe.
