naa jaane kyu ye dil, kyu ye dil tera intezar kare
jab tumhe mujhse hi pyar nahi, kyu tera aitbar kare
naa jaane kyu hain tera harpal yu khayal
jab tu soche bhi na mere baare me o jaan-e-jaan
naa jaane kyu ye dil, kyu ye dil tera intezar kare
jab tumhe mujhse hi pyar nahi, kyu tera aitbar kare

rehguzar dil mere tham ja tu kyu chahta hai itna use
wo tera kabhi tha hi nahi
kyu tu pal pal teri jaan nisaar kare
keh bhi de jo bhi hai, dil hi dil me tu kyu aahe bhare
kab talak aise hi tu raaho me uska intezar kare
naa jaane kyu hain tera harpal yu khayal
jab tu soche bhi na mere baare me o jaan-e-jaan
naa jaane

Why does this heart, this heart, still yearn for you?
When love's flame in your eyes is not for me, why trust anew?
Why does your memory haunt each fleeting breath?
When you, my love, don't spare a thought for me in death, in life.
Why does this heart, this heart, still yearn for you?
When love's flame in your eyes is not for me, why trust anew?

O heart, my path, be still, why crave her so?
She was never yours to hold, you know.
Why sacrifice your very soul with every passing day?
Speak the words locked tight within, why sigh and pray?
How long must you linger on her path, in wait?
Why does your memory haunt each fleeting breath?
When you, my love, don't spare a thought for me in death, in life.
I don't know why...
