dil jalata hai to jalane de
aansu na baha faryad na kar
dil jalata hai toh jalane de

maasum najar ke tir chalayein
bismil ko bismil aur bana
maasum najar ke tir chalayein
bismil ko bismil aur bana
ab sharmon haya ke parde mein
yun chhup chhupake bedaag na kar
ab sharmon haya ke parde mein
yun chhup chhupake bedaag na kar
dil jalata hai to jalane de

hum aas lagaye baithe hain
tum wada kar ke bhul gaye
ya surat aake dikha jaao
ya keh do hamako yaad na kar
dil jalata hai
dil jalata hai
dil jalata hai

Let the heart ignite, let it burn,
Do not weep, nor lament in return.
Let the heart ignite, let it burn.

Innocent eyes, they launch their dart,
Making the wounded more broken apart.
Innocent eyes, their arrows fly,
Making the wounded more broken, I cry.
Now, behind veils of modesty's grace,
Hide not, hiding the stain on your face.
Now, behind veils of shame,
Do not hide, and deny the flame.
Let the heart ignite, let it burn.

We, with hope, in waiting reside,
You made promises, now cast aside.
Either show your face and appear,
Or tell me, forget me, never to hear.
Let the heart ignite,
Let it burn now,
Let the heart ignite.
