koi kisi se dil na lagaye
koi kisi se dil na lagaye
koi kisi se dil na lagaye
koi kisi se dil na lagaye

din ka chain, raato ki nindiya
din ka chain, raato ki nindiya
kaahe koi gawaye, kaahe koi gawaye
koi kisi se dil na lagaye
koi kisi se dil na lagaye
koi kisi se dil na lagaye

mere pahlu me bhi
ek chhota sa dil hota tha
mere pahlu me bhi
ek chhota sa dil hota tha
un dino aah na bharta tha
na main rota tha
aankh milte hi gaya
aankh milte hi gaya
dil jo paraye bas me
aankh milte hi gaya
dil jo paraye bas me
yaad baaki hai mere dil ki
meri nas nas me
yaad baaki hai mere dil ki
meri nas nas me
dil lutakar yahi shikwa hai jaba par haye
dil lutakar yahi shikwa hai jaba par haye
koi kisi se dil na lagaye
koi kisi se dil na lagaye
koi kisi se dil na lagaye
koi kisi se dil na lagaye
koi kisi se dil na lagaye

Let no heart be tethered,
Let no heart be tethered,
Let no heart be tethered,
Let no heart be tethered.

Peace of day, slumber of night,
Peace of day, slumber of night,
Why surrender, why surrender,
Let no heart be tethered,
Let no heart be tethered,
Let no heart be tethered.

Within my breast too,
Once a tiny heart did reside,
Within my breast too,
Once a tiny heart did reside,
Those days I sighed not,
Nor did I weep.
Eyes met, and it was gone,
Eyes met, and it was gone,
The heart now captive,
Eyes met, and it was gone,
The heart now captive.
Memories linger in my soul,
Memories linger in my soul,
In every vein they flow.
Having given my heart, this lament on my tongue, alas,
Having given my heart, this lament on my tongue, alas,
Let no heart be tethered,
Let no heart be tethered,
Let no heart be tethered,
Let no heart be tethered,
Let no heart be tethered.
