dard badhkar fughan na ho jaaye, dard badhkar fughan na ho jaaye
ye zamin aasma na ho jaye

dil mein duba hua jo nashtar hai, mere dil ki zuba na ho jaye
ye zamin aasma na ho jaye

dil ko le lijiye jo lena hai, dil ko le lijiye jo lena hai
fir ye sauda garan na ho jaye

aah kije magar latif tabhi, aah kije magar latif tabhi
lab tak aakar dhua na ho jaye
ye zamin aasma na ho jaye
dard badhkar fughan na ho jaaye, dard badhkar fughan na ho jaaye

Let the ache not swell to a scream,
Lest earth and sky should seem.

The lancet sunk within my heart,
Speak not, lest it depart.
Lest earth and sky should seem.

Take my heart, if take you must,
Lest this bargain turn to dust.

Sigh softly, but sigh with grace,
Lest your sorrow cloud this space.
Lest earth and sky should seem.
Let the ache not swell to a scream,
Let the ache not swell to a scream.
