ho mora nadan balma na jane dil ki bat
ho mora nadan balma na jane dil ki bat
na jane dil ki bat ho na mane dil ki bat
ho mora nadan balma na jane dil ki bat
ho mora nadan balma na jane dil ki bat
na jane dil ki bat ho na mane dil ki bat
ho mora nadan balma na jane dil ki bat

chupke rahe jaise champa ki dali
chupke rahe jaise champa ki dali
phir bhi na samjha bagiya ka mali
phir bhi na samjha bagiya ka mali
hogi barbadi ye sochi thi ja, tauba tauba
ye buri hai mardo ki chal
ho mora nadan balma na jane dil ki bat
ho mora nadan balma na jane dil ki bat
na jane dil ki bat ho na mane dil ki bat
ho mora nadan balma na jane dil ki bat

hamne bandha prit ka dhaga
hamne bandha prit ka dhaga
lekin dil ka bhag na jaga
lekin dil ka bhag na jaga
ulfat ka ab tak mila na jawab hame
samjha tha aayega lekar barat
ho mora nadan balma na jane dil ki bat
ho mora nadan balma na jane dil ki bat
na jane dil ki bat ho na mane dil ki bat
ho mora nadan balma na jane dil ki bat

My foolish love, he knows not the heart's tongue,
My foolish love, he knows not the heart's tongue,
He knows not the heart's tongue, nor heeds the heart's plea,
My foolish love, he knows not the heart's tongue.
My foolish love, he knows not the heart's tongue,
He knows not the heart's tongue, nor heeds the heart's plea,
My foolish love, he knows not the heart's tongue.

Silent as a champa bloom on its stem,
Silent as a champa bloom on its stem,
Yet the gardener of the garden doesn't comprehend,
Yet the gardener of the garden doesn't comprehend,
Ruination I foresaw, alas, alas,
This is a cruel game men play.
My foolish love, he knows not the heart's tongue,
My foolish love, he knows not the heart's tongue,
He knows not the heart's tongue, nor heeds the heart's plea,
My foolish love, he knows not the heart's tongue.

I wove the thread of love so true,
I wove the thread of love so true,
But the heart's fortune did not awaken,
But the heart's fortune did not awaken,
Of love, I've yet to find a reply,
I thought he'd arrive with a wedding procession.
My foolish love, he knows not the heart's tongue,
My foolish love, he knows not the heart's tongue,
He knows not the heart's tongue, nor heeds the heart's plea,
My foolish love, he knows not the heart's tongue.
