dil gam se jal raha hai, jale par dhua na ho
dil gam se jal raha hai, jale par dhua na ho
mumkin hai iske baad koi imtiha na ho
koi imtiha na ho
mumkin hai iske baad koi imtiha na ho
koi imtiha na ho

duniya to kya khuda se bhi ghabrake kah diya
duniya to kya khuda se bhi ghabrake kah diya
ghabrake kah diya
wo meharba nahin, to koi meharba na ho
koi meharba na ho
dil gam se jal raha hai, jale par dhua na ho

luta khushi ne aag laga di bahar ne
luta khushi ne aag laga di bahar ne
aag laga di bahar ne
barbad is tarha bhi kisi ka jahan na ho
kisi ka jahan na ho
dil gam se jal raha hai, jale par dhua na ho

ab to wahi sukun milega mujhe jaha
ab to wahi sukun milega mujhe jaha
jaha mujhe milega jahan
ye sangdil jamin na ho, aasma na ho
jamin, aasma na ho
dil gam se jal raha hai, jale par dhua na ho

The heart burns with sorrow, yet no smoke ascends,
The heart burns with sorrow, yet no smoke ascends.
Perhaps beyond this, no further test transcends,
No further test transcends,
Perhaps beyond this, no further test transcends,
No further test transcends.

From the world, and even God, I cried in dread,
From the world, and even God, I cried in dread.
I cried in dread,
If He’s not kind, then let no kindness spread,
Let no kindness spread,
The heart burns with sorrow, yet no smoke ascends.

Joy plundered, spring set fire to the ground,
Joy plundered, spring set fire to the ground,
Set fire to the ground,
May no world ever be so utterly unbound,
Be so utterly unbound,
The heart burns with sorrow, yet no smoke ascends.

Now only there can I find my peace and rest,
Now only there can I find my peace and rest,
Find my peace and rest,
Where this stone-heart earth, and sky, are unpossessed,
Earth and sky unpossessed,
The heart burns with sorrow, yet no smoke ascends.
