jo unakee tamanna hai, barbad ho ja
jo unakee tamanna hai, barbad ho ja
too ai dil muhabbat kee kismat bana de
tadap aur tadap kar abhee jan de de
yu marte hain mar jane vale, dikha de
jo unakee tamanna hai, barbad ho ja

na unaka tabassum tere vaste hai
na unaka tabassum tere vaste hai
na tere liye unakee julfo ke saye
too beaas phir kyon jiye ja raha hai
too beaas phir kyon jiye ja raha hai
javanee me yeh jindganee luta de
jo unakee tamanna hai, barbad ho ja

sitam ya karam husnwalo kee marjee
sitam ya karam husnwalo kee marjee
yahee soch kar koyee shikwa na karana
sitamagar salamat rahe husn tera
sitamagar salamat rahe husn tera
yahee usako mitane se pehale duwa de
jo unakee tamanna hai, barbad ho ja
too ai dil muhabbat kee kismat bana de
tadap aur tadap kar abhee jan de de
yu marte hain mar jane vale, dikha de
jo unakee tamanna hai, barbad ho ja

Let ruin be your sole desire,
Let ruin be your sole desire,
O heart, now shape love's destined pyre.
Throb, and with throbbing, yield your breath,
Show how the dying meet their death.
Let ruin be your sole desire.

Their smile is not for you to claim,
Their smile is not for you to claim,
Nor for your sake, their tresses' shade.
Why then, bereft, do you remain?
Why then, bereft, do you remain?
In youth's bloom, your life now trade.
Let ruin be your sole desire.

Their cruelty or grace, beauty's whim,
Their cruelty or grace, beauty's whim,
Reflect, and voice no bitter plea.
May your tormentor's beauty brim,
May your tormentor's beauty brim,
Before you fade, this prayer decree.
Let ruin be your sole desire,
O heart, now shape love's destined pyre.
Throb, and with throbbing, yield your breath,
Show how the dying meet their death.
Let ruin be your sole desire.
