daaman na chhudaa yun dur na kar
rone ke liye majbur na kar
daaman na chhudaa yun dur na kar
rone ke liye majbur na kar
mai kahti rahi vo suntaa rahaa
yun shishaa-e-dil ko chur na kar
majbur na kar, o yun dur na kar

dil dil se bichhadne ka manzar
vo ashko kaa girnaa daaman par
khaamosh nazar thi afsaana
khaamosh nazar thi afsaana
bedard na is par bhi mana
mai kahti rahi vo suntaa rahaa
yun shishaa-e-dil ko chur na kar
majbur na kar, o yun dur na kar
daaman na chhudaa

naino me mere tu aake na ja
armaa mere thukra ke na ja
main tere bina mar jaaungi
main tere bina mar jaaungi
bedard mujhe tadpa ke na ja
mai kahti rahi vo suntaa rahaa
yun shishaa-e-dil ko chur na kar
majbur na kar, o yun dur na kar
daaman na chhudaa

in aankho se aansu bahne de
mujhe dil ki kahani kahne de
ye teri khushi dil de ke na de
ye teri khushi dil de ke na de
kadmo me tere to rahne de
mai kahti rahi vo suntaa rahaa
yun shishaa-e-dil ko chur na kar
majbur na kar, o yun dur na kar

Do not wrench away, nor depart so far,
Do not compel me to weep, to bear the scar.
Do not wrench away, nor depart so far,
Do not compel me to weep, to bear the scar.
I pleaded on, he heard me not,
Shatter not the heart’s glass, let it not fall apart.
Do not compel, oh do not depart so far.

The spectacle of hearts torn asunder,
Tears cascading upon the hem, asunder.
Silent the gaze, a tale untold,
Silent the gaze, a tale untold,
Merciless, he still did not relent, bold.
I pleaded on, he heard me not,
Shatter not the heart’s glass, let it not fall apart.
Do not compel, oh do not depart so far.
Do not wrench away.

Enter my eyes, then do not flee,
Rejecting my desires, do not be.
Without you, I shall surely die,
Without you, I shall surely die,
Torment me not, cruelly, and then deny.
I pleaded on, he heard me not,
Shatter not the heart’s glass, let it not fall apart.
Do not compel, oh do not depart so far.
Do not wrench away.

Let these eyes now freely weep,
Let me speak the heart’s secret, so deep.
Grant not your joy by breaking my heart,
Grant not your joy by breaking my heart,
Let me reside, within your feet to keep.
I pleaded on, he heard me not,
Shatter not the heart’s glass, let it not fall apart.
Do not compel, oh do not depart so far.
