badalo ki palki me
chand ki aayi barat
so rahi hain sej par
taro ki dulhan ban ke raat

dil hian bekrar kyu, machle bar bar kyu
raat ashq baar kyu
dil hain bekrar kyu, machle bar bar kyu
raat ashq baar kyu
pyaar na mila hoga
ho pyaar na mila hoga
mil saka na pyaar kyu
dil pe gam ka var kyu
mil saka na pyaar kyu
dil pe gam ka var kyu
hay intejar kyu
dildar na mila hoga
ho dilar na mila hoga

dildar to mil hi jata hain
par dil ko lagata koi nahi
dildar to mil hi jata hain
par dil ko lagata koi nahi
par aankh milata koi nahi
chhup jate hain sab dekh sada

husn bekrar kyu ishq se bejaar kyu
dard ka shikar kyu
husn bekrar kyu ishq se bejaar kyu
dard ka shikar kyu
kyu karar na mila hoga
ho karar na mila hoga

In clouds, a palanquin descends,
The moon's procession, it attends.
On a bed of dreams, she softly lies,
Night, a bride of stars, beneath the skies.

Why is the heart restless, a tempest within?
Why does the night weep, where does sorrow begin?
Why is the heart restless, a tempest within?
Why does the night weep, where does sorrow begin?
Love, perhaps, was never found,
Oh, love was never found.
Why couldn't love be claimed,
Why the heart's pain, the heart's shame?
Why couldn't love be claimed,
Why the heart's pain, the heart's shame?
Oh, why this longing, this endless wait?
The beloved, perhaps, sealed by fate,
Oh, the beloved, sealed by fate.

The beloved is always near,
But no one dares to hold the heart so dear.
The beloved is always near,
But all hide away and never see,
Their eyes are downcast, and look away,
All hide away and never see.

Why is beauty restless, weary of love?
Why does it suffer, a wound from above?
Why is beauty restless, weary of love?
Why does it suffer, a wound from above?
Why wasn't peace ever found?
Oh, peace was never found.
