ishq ne todi sar pe qayamat
jore-e-qayamat kya kahiye
sunne wala koi nahi
rudad-e-mohabbat kya kahiye
rudad-e-mohabbat kya kahiye

dil hai kisi ka raaz-e-haqiqat
raaz-e-haqiqat kya kahiye

hairat-e-jalwa mohar-b-lab hai
jalwa-e-hairat kya kahiye

us pe kisi ke teer-e-sitam ki
mashk-e-siyasat kya kahiye
mashk-e-siyasat kya kahiye

Love shattered judgment on my brow,
A storm of reckoning, how to now
Describe its force? No ear to hear,
The tale of love, consumed by fear.
The tale of love, consumed by fear.

A heart, another's secret core,
The truth concealed, what words to pour?

Amazement sealed my lips with awe,
The spectacle, beyond all law,
What can I say?

Upon that wound, a cruel dart flew,
Of tyranny, what can I do?
Of tyranny, what can I do?
