dard-e-dil me kami na ho jaaye
dard-e-dil me kami na ho jaaye
dosti, dushmani na ho jaaye
dard-e-dil me kami na ho jaaye

tum meri dosti ka dam na bharo
tum meri dosti ka dam na bharo
aasmaan muddayi na ho jaaye
dard-e-dil me kami na ho jaaye

baithta hai hamesha rindo me
baithta hai hamesha rindo me
kahin zaahid wali na ho jaaye
dard-e-dil me kami na ho jaaye

apne khuye wafa se darta hu
apne khuye wafa se darta hu
aashiqi bandagi na ho jaaye
dard-e-dil me kami na ho jaaye
dosti dushmani na ho jaaye
dard-e-dil me kami na ho jaaye

May the ache within the heart never lessen,
May the ache within the heart never lessen,
Lest friendship and enmity should blur,
May the ache within the heart never lessen.

Speak not of my friendship's claim,
Speak not of my friendship's claim,
Lest the heavens themselves bear witness,
May the ache within the heart never lessen.

He sits always with the wine-soaked,
He sits always with the wine-soaked,
Lest the pious become the true guide,
May the ache within the heart never lessen.

I fear my own devotion's embrace,
I fear my own devotion's embrace,
Lest love become mere worship,
May the ache within the heart never lessen.
Lest friendship and enmity should blur,
May the ache within the heart never lessen.
