dard badta hai to muskurate kyun ho
dard badta hai to muskurate kyun ho
mohabbat ko meri thukrate kyun ho
pyaar hai gunah nahi chupate kyun ho

mujhe dekh kar nazarein churate kyun ho
jhuthe vaado se hame behlate kyun ho
kya milta milta kya hai tumhe
kyun itna satate ho
dard badta hai to muskurate kyun ho

dard badta hai to muskurate kyun ho
dard badta hai to muskurate kyun ho
yuhi kam gam nahi

aur badate kyun ho
sochta hoon itna yaad aate kyun ho
kyun itna yaad aate ho

When pain swells, why do you feign a smile?
When pain swells, why do you wear that guise?
My love, why do you cast it aside?
Love is no sin, why do you hide?
You steal glances, then turn away your eyes.
With false promises, why do you entice?
What gain is there? What do you find?
Why do you torment me so, unkind?
When pain swells, why do you smile?

When pain swells, why do you feign a smile?
When pain swells, why do you wear that guise?
My heart already aches, why this added woe?
I don't think of you so much, why do you come and go?
Why do you linger in my thoughts, so?
Why do you haunt me so?
