dil me rahte ho najar se dur kyun
dil me rahte ho najar se dur kyun
meri duniya is kadar benur kyun
dil me rahte ho najar se dur kyun

haye duniya tera ye dastur kyun
haye duniya tera ye dastur kyun
do dilo ka pyar nam dur kyun
dil me rahte ho najar se dur kyun

ishk roye hushn ke aansu bahe
ishk roye hushn ke aansu bahe
hai mohabbat is kadar majbur kyun
dil me rahte ho najar se dur kyun

hasrate bejan hai khamosh hai
hasrate bejan hai khamosh hai
tod kar dil kar diya hai chur kyun
dil me rahte ho najar se dur kyun
dil me rahte ho najar se dur kyun

You dwell within, yet distant to my sight,
You dwell within, yet distant to my sight,
Why is my world so dimmed, devoid of light?
You dwell within, yet distant to my sight.

Oh, world, why this decree, this cruel design?
Oh, world, why this decree, this cruel design?
Why does love's bond forever intertwine
Two hearts, then tear them from the other's line?
You dwell within, yet distant to my sight.

Love weeps, and beauty sheds its tearful rain,
Love weeps, and beauty sheds its tearful rain,
Why is affection bound in such a chain?
You dwell within, yet distant to my sight.

Desires lie lifeless, silent in the gloom,
Desires lie lifeless, silent in the gloom,
Why has my heart been shattered to its tomb?
You dwell within, yet distant to my sight,
You dwell within, yet distant to my sight.
