maahi ve, maahi ve
kaga sab tan khaaiyo
mera chun-chun khaiyo maas
mere do naina mat khaaiyo
mohe piya milan ki aas

dard-e-judaai sehte sehte mar na jaaye hum
har pal dil ko tadpata hai, teri judaai ka gam
sun sun, sun sun
sun sun, sun sun
dard-e-judaai sehte sehte mar na jaaye hum
har pal dil ko tadpata hai, teri judaai ka gam
sun sun, sun sun
sun sun, sun sun

ab tak meri aankho me hai
vo tera pyaar jatana
kaise bhulaaun hasna hasana
ruthu to mujhko manana
yaad aate hi vo din roti
ho gayi aankhe nam
sun sun, sun sun
sun sun, sun sun
dard-e-judaai sehte sehte mar na jaaye hum
har pal dil ko tadpata hai, teri judaai ka gam
sun sun, sun sun
sun sun, sun sun

preet karo to aisi karo
ki jaise sut kapaas
jiwan bhar to tan dhaake
mare na chhode sath
andhiyaare lagte hai sitaare, suna lage hai jharna
ho ke juda jeene se accha hai aakhir mar janaa
tut rahi hai saanso ki dori
chhut naa jaaye ye dam
sun sun, sun sun
sun sun, sun sun
dard-e-judaai sehte sehte mar na jaaye hum
har pal dil ko tadpata hai, teri judaai ka gam
sun sun, sun sun
sun sun, sun sun

jo main aisa jaanti, ki preet kiye dukh hoye
nagar dhindhora pitti, ki preet na kariyo koye

Oh, my love, my love, crow, consume my flesh,
But spare my eyes, do not devour those,
For in them, waits the hope of union,
With my beloved.

Bearing the pain of separation, lest I die,
Each moment, the sorrow of your absence torments my heart.
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen,
Bearing the pain of separation, lest I die,
Each moment, the sorrow of your absence torments my heart.
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.

Still, in my eyes, your love remains,
How can I forget the laughter, the joy,
The way you soothed my tears when I was cross?
Remembering those days, my eyes grow wet with tears.
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen,
Bearing the pain of separation, lest I die,
Each moment, the sorrow of your absence torments my heart.
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.

Love should be like the bond of cotton and thread,
Covering the body for life, never parting.
Darkness descends, stars are dimmed, the stream silent,
Better to die than to live apart.
The thread of breath is breaking, lest this life depart,
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen,
Bearing the pain of separation, lest I die,
Each moment, the sorrow of your absence torments my heart.
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.

If I had known love's sorrow,
I would have proclaimed it in every town,
"Do not love, anyone, ever."
