darde dil tu hi bata ye kaisi gam ki sham hai
is jaha me kya wafa ka bewafai naam hai kya
bewafai naam hai darde dil tu hi bata
ye kaisi gam ki sham hai is jaha me kya wafa ka
bewafai naam hai kya bewafai naam hai

jis khushi ne pahle pahle dil ko baksha tha karar
dil ko baksha tha karar jis khushi ne pahle pahle
dil ko hota tha karar dil ko baksha tha karar
ae game dil us khushi ka kya yahi anjam hai
is jaha me kya wafa ka bewafai naam hai
kya bewafai naam hai

ae hawa usse ye kahna
aajkal tere bagair aajkal tere bagair
ae hawa us se ye kahna
aajkal tere bagair aajkal tere bagair
saans bhi lena hamare vaste ilzam hai
is jaha me kya wafa ka bewafai naam hai
kya bewafai naam hai

Tell me, heart, this evening's ache,
a sorrow draped, a shadowed lake.
Does faith's true name, in this world's sway,
bear betrayal's bitter, hollow way?

Betrayal's name, heart, whisper true,
this mournful dusk, in shades of blue.
Does faith exist, or only lies?
Betrayal's name reflected in our eyes.

The joy that first did peace impart,
and calmed the tremors of the heart,
the joy that first did peace bestow,
tell me, heart, where did it go?
Is this the end, the final plea?
Does faith's true name, eternally,
bear betrayal's mark, a stinging shame?
Betrayal's name, whispered in flame.

Oh, wind, carry this to her,
that now, without her, a blur…
without her, in this lonely space,
each breath I take, a harsh disgrace.
Oh, wind, carry this to her,
that now, without her, a blur…
Does faith's true name, in this world's play,
bear betrayal's name, and fade away?
