dard badta hai to muskurate kyun ho
mujhe dekh kar nazarein churate kyun ho
mein gunehgaar to nahi mein gunehgaar to nahi
fir satate kyun ho

sochta hoon itna yaad aate kyun ho
kyun itna yaad aate ho
saason mein base ho dil mein rehte ho
jhute vaado se hume behlate kyun ho
hume behlate kyun ho

yuhi kam gam nahi yuhi kam gam nahi
aur badate kyun ho pyaar hai gunah nahi
ise chupate kyun ho chupate kyun ho

makhmali khwabo se sazi huyi
sunahere kaanch ki hai duniya meri
chahta hoon tumhari chahto ke phool
mohabbat ko meri thukarate kyun ho

kya milta milta kya hai tumhe
kyun itna satate ho
dard badta hai to muskurate kyun ho
aansuo ko palko pe sazate kyun ho

Why do you smile when the pain swells?
Why do you avert your gaze from me?
I am not a sinner,
I am not a sinner,
Then why do you torment?
I ponder, why do you haunt my memory so?
Why do you linger so?

You dwell in my breaths, reside in my heart,
Why do you lure me with false promises?
Why do you deceive me?

There is sorrow enough,
There is sorrow enough,
Why do you add to it?
Love is not a sin,
Why do you conceal it?
Why do you hide it?

Adorned with velvet dreams,
My world is a gilded mirror,
I yearn for the flowers of your affection,
Why do you spurn my love?
What do you gain, what do you gain?
Why do you torment me so?
Why do you smile when the pain swells?
Why do you adorn your lashes with tears?
