itni naazuk naa bano haay itni naazuk naa bano
itni naazuk naa bano haay itni naazuk naa bano
had ke andar ho nazaakat to adaa hoti hai
had se badh jaaye to aap apni sazaa hoti hai
itni naazuk naa bano haay itni naazuk naa bano

jism kaa bojh uthaaye nahi uthta tumse
jism kaa bojh uthaaye nahi uthta tumse
zindgaani kaa kada bojh sahogi kaise
tum jo halki si hawaao me lachak jaati ho
tez jhonko ke thapedo me rahogi kaise
itni naazuk naa bano haay itni naazuk naa bano

ye naa samajho ke har ek raah me kaliyaa hogi
ye naa samajho ke har ek raah me kaliyaa hogi
raah chalni hai to kaanto pe bhi chalna hogaa
ye nayaa daur hai is daur me jine ke liye
husn ko husn ka andaaz badalna hogaa
itni naazuk naa bano haay itni naazuk naa bano

koi rukta nahi thahre hue raahi ke liye
koi rukta nahi thahre hue raahi ke liye
jo bhi dekhega voh katraake guzar jaayega
hum agar vaqt ke hamraah naa chalne paaye
vaqt ham dono ko thukraake guzar jaayegaa
itni naazuk naa bano haay itni naazuk naa bano
had ke andar ho nazaakat to adaa hoti hai
had se badh jaaye to aap apni sazaa hoti hai
itni naazuk naa bano haay itni naazuk naa bano

So fragile, oh, do not be so fragile,
So fragile, oh, do not be so fragile.
Tenderness within bounds, a charm it can be,
Past the limit, a self-inflicted decree.
So fragile, oh, do not be so fragile.

The body's weight, you struggle to bear,
The body's weight, you falter to share.
How then will you carry life's weighty load?
You, who sway in the breezes so mild,
How will you face the gales, fierce and bold?
So fragile, oh, do not be so fragile.

Do not imagine each path blooms with flowers,
Do not imagine each path blooms with flowers.
If you must walk the road, thorns you will tread.
This new era demands, for living's sake,
Beauty must learn new styles instead.
So fragile, oh, do not be so fragile.

None halt their steps for the halting soul,
None halt their steps for the halting soul.
Each passerby will sidestep and flee.
If we fail to walk in time's own pace,
Time will dismiss both you and me.
So fragile, oh, do not be so fragile.
Tenderness within bounds, a charm it can be,
Past the limit, a self-inflicted decree.
So fragile, oh, do not be so fragile.
