jurm-e-ulfat pe hame log saza dete hai
jurm-e-ulfat pe hame log saza dete hai
kaise nadan hai, sholo ko hava dete hai
kaise nadan hai

hamase divane kahi tar ke vafa karate hai
hamase divane kahi tar ke vafa karate hai
jaan jaye ki rahe baat nibha dete hai
jaan jaye

aap daulat ke tarazu mai dilo ko taule
aap daulat ke tarazu mai dilo ko taule
ham mohabbat se mohabbat ka sila dete hai
ham mohabbat se

takht kya chiz hai aur laal-o-javahar kya hai
takht kya chiz hai aur laal-o-javahar kya hai
ishq vale to khudai bhi luta dete hai
ishq vale

hamane dil de bhi diya ehad-e-vafa le bhi liya
hamane dil de bhi diya ehad-e-vafa le bhi liya
takht kya chiz hai aur laal-o-javahar kya hai
aap ab shokh se dede jo saza dete hai
jurm-e-ulfat pe hame log saza dete hai

For the crime of love, they sentence us,
How foolish, they feed the flames.
How foolish.

From us, the mad, true loyalty flows,
Life departs, but vows remain,
Life departs.

You weigh hearts in scales of wealth,
You weigh hearts,
While we reward love with love itself,
We reward.

What are thrones, what are jewels bright?
What are thrones?
Lovers would plunder even god's own light,
Would plunder.

We gave our hearts, and kept faith's vow,
We gave our hearts,
Thrones and jewels, of what worth are they now?
If now, you punish us, as you allow,
For the crime of love, they sentence us.
