majbur meri aankhe barbaad mera dil hai
dushwar diya hansna rona bhi to mushkil hai
majbur meri aankhe barbaad mera dil hai

ae chand dub ja tu kyun muskura raha hai
kyun apni chandni se bijli gira raha hai
bhatka hua hai raahi khoyi huyi manzil hai
majbur meri aankhe barbaad mera dil hai

ro ro ke aansuo ko palko me hi chhupaye
fariyaad tute dil ki kaise jaba pe laye
rukhsat huye parwane ujadi huyi mehfil hai
majbur meri aankhe barbaad mera dil hai

My eyes are bound, my heart a ruin spun,
To laugh, to weep, a weary war begun.
My eyes are bound, my heart a ruin spun.

O moon, descend, why paint your mocking smile?
Why cast your silver lightning, mile by mile?
A lost, stray wanderer, a goal undone,
My eyes are bound, my heart a ruin spun.

We hide the tears that gather, dark and deep,
How to the broken heart’s lament give sleep?
The moths have flown, the gathering is gone,
My eyes are bound, my heart a ruin spun.
