o dil na lagana
o dil na lagana
jine na dega ye zamana
o dil na lagana

kahta raha dil sunte rahe ham dastan-e-gam
teri mohabbat me sahate rahe ham lakho sitam
ban gaya ek fasana
o dil na lagana
o dil na lagana

uthti javani me dil jo lagae chain na paae
dil ja ke pahalu se vapas na aae haay re haay
pichhe pade hai pachhatana
o dil na lagana
o dil na lagana

mil na sake hay do dil bechare kismat ke mare
yad aa rahe hai jo din guzare sath tumhare
hay vo guzraa zamana
o dil na lagana
o dil na lagana
jine na dega ye zamana
o dil na lagana

Oh, do not tether your heart,
Oh, do not tether your heart,
This world will not let you live,
Oh, do not tether your heart.

The heart warned, we heard the tale of woe,
In your love, we bore a million woes,
A story it became,
Oh, do not tether your heart,
Oh, do not tether your heart.

In rising youth, the heart that is bound finds no peace,
The heart, once gone, does not return, alas,
Regret remains,
Oh, do not tether your heart,
Oh, do not tether your heart.

Two hearts, alas, could not meet, victims of fate,
Memories resurface of days spent with you,
Alas, that bygone time,
Oh, do not tether your heart,
Oh, do not tether your heart,
This world will not let you live,
Oh, do not tether your heart.
