kitne premi milke chhute
kitne premi milke chhute kitne wade ho gaye jhuthe
rashmo ki in diwaro se

jite ji apni lashe apne kandho pe dhoi re

The world, a heartless stage, knows not love's ache,
A heartless stage it is.
Laila wept,
Sohni wept, Heer weeps here,
Majnu, Mahiwal, Ranjha, each one in torment.
Majnu, Mahiwal, Ranjha, each one in torment.
Laila wept.

Tears stream from eyes,
Lost, adrift, they roam.
Lovers in this world, for love's sake,
Endure such suffering, a heavy home.
A dart pierces flesh, the pain knows only she,
A dart pierces flesh, the pain knows only she.
Laila wept, Sohni wept, Heer weeps here,
Majnu, Mahiwal, Ranjha, each one in torment.
Majnu, Mahiwal, Ranjha, each one in torment.
Laila wept.

How many lovers met and parted,
How many vows turned hollow and broken?
By the walls of custom,
How many hearts shattered, overtaken?
Alive, they carried their own corpses, their plight shown.
Alive, they carried their own corpses, their plight shown.
Laila wept, Sohni wept, Heer weeps here,
Majnu, Mahiwal, Ranjha, each one in torment.
Majnu, Mahiwal, Ranjha, each one in torment.
Laila wept.

Dark is the path of the forlorn,
A bed of embers, their sorrow born.
Whenever fate is written,
For those who yearn, love's scorn.
The Master, each time, drowned sorrow in tears, ah, woe.
The Master, each time, drowned sorrow in tears, ah, woe.
Laila wept, Sohni wept, Heer weeps here,
Majnu, Mahiwal, Ranjha, each one in torment.
Majnu, Mahiwal, Ranjha, each one in torment.
Laila wept.
Laila wept, Sohni wept, Heer weeps here.
