ek baat puchti hu ae dil jawab dena
ek baat puchti hu ae dil jawab dena
mai unki ho gayi hu ae dil jawab dena
ek baat puchti hu

nadiya ke lahare machal ke sahil se kyu takrati hai
sawan ki bijaliya kadak kar badal me kyu rah rati hai
aaps me pyar hai dil bekrar hai
mil ke gale kho jati hai ek baat puchti hu
ae dil jawab dena ae dil jawab dena
ek baat puchti hu

uski lagan me ye samma har rat dil ko jalati hai
chanda ki yaad me chakori kyu apni jaan gavati hai
sholo ki chaha me chahat ki raho me
mar ke bhi zindagi pati hai pati hai pati hai
ek baat puchti hu ae dil jawab dena
mai unki ho gayi hu ae dil jawab dena
ek baat puchti hu

Ask me this, o heart, a response impart,
Ask me this, o heart, a response impart,
Have I become his, o heart, a response impart,
Ask me this.

Why do river waves, with a surge, the shore embrace?
Why do monsoon lightnings, in thunder, in clouds find their place?
With love between, the heart's undone,
They meet, embrace, and are gone as one.
Ask me this, o heart, a response impart,
Ask me this, o heart, a response impart,
Ask me this.

His longing, a flame, burns the heart each night,
Why, in the moon's memory, does the chakora lose its light?
In the fire's desire, on love's own way,
Dying, it life finds, finds, come what may.
Ask me this, o heart, a response impart,
Have I become his, o heart, a response impart,
Ask me this.
