jo hamne daasta apni sunaayi, aap kyo roye
jo hamne daasta apni sunaayi, aap kyo roye
tabahi to hamare dil pe aayi, aap kyo roye

hamara dard-e-gam hai ye, ise kyo aap sahte hai
ye kyo aansu hamare, aap ki aankho se bahte hai
gamo ki aag hamne khud lagaayi, aap kyo roye
jo hamne daasta apni sunaayi, aap kyo roye

bahut roye magar ab aapki khaatir na royege
na apna chain khokar aapka ham chain khoyege
kayamat aapke ashko ne dhaayi, aap kyo roye
jo hamne daasta apni sunaayi, aap kyo roye

na ye aansu ruke to dekhiye, ham bhi ro dege
ham apne aansuo me chaand taaro ko dubo dege
fana ho jaayegi saari khudayi, aap kyo roye
jo hamne daasta apni sunaayi, aap kyo roye

Why do you weep, when I unveil my tale?
Why do you weep, when I unveil my tale?
The wreckage struck my heart, yet you bewail.

This sorrow is mine, why bear its weight?
Why do my tears from your own eyes abate?
The fire of grief I lit, yet you set sail.
Why do you weep, when I unveil my tale?

I wept enough, but now, for you, no more.
I will not lose your peace, to mourn and soar.
Your tears unleashed a flood, a cosmic trail.
Why do you weep, when I unveil my tale?

If these tears cease not, then I will weep with you,
And drown the moon and stars, in tears anew.
Creation's end would come, as heavens fail.
Why do you weep, when I unveil my tale?
