o pagal premi prem kiye kya paya
prem kiye kya paya
jiwan ka sukh chain luta kar
dil me dard basaya
dil me dard basaya
prem kiye kya paya

aashao ki phulwari me
pyar ka bij lagaya
pyar ka bij lagaya
ik din aayi fiza bag me
sara chaman jalaya
ik din aayi fiza bag me
sara chaman jalaya

man ki bagiya ujad gayi
pyara paudha murjhaya
pyara paudha murjhaya
o pagal premi prem kiye kya paya
prem kiye kya paya

madhur manohar sukh sapno ka
sundar mahal banaya
madhur manohar sukh sapno ka
sundar mahal banaya
pal me sapne chur hue
pal me sapne chur hue
aur mahal jami par aaya
mahal jami par aaya
o pagal premi prem kiye kya paya
prem kiye kya paya

Oh, mad lover, what did love bestow?
What did love bestow?
Shedding life's peace, its joy undone,
In the heart, pain did grow.
In the heart, pain did grow.
Oh, what did love bestow?

In hope's verdant, flowering space,
Love's seed we did sow,
Love's seed we did sow.
Then came a wind, through the garden's grace,
And the whole paradise did go,
And the whole paradise did go.

The heart's garden, now laid waste,
The dear seedling, withered low,
The dear seedling, withered low.
Oh, mad lover, what did love bestow?
What did love bestow?

Of sweet, enchanting, blissful dreams,
A beautiful palace did grow,
A beautiful palace did grow.
In a moment, the dreams did burst,
In a moment, the dreams did go,
And the palace to earth did go.
The palace to earth did go.
Oh, mad lover, what did love bestow?
What did love bestow?
