pas aake huye ham dur, ham dur
yahi tha kismat ko manjur
yahi tha kismat ko manjur

nahi tumse mujhe gila koi
nahi tumse mujhe gila koi
duniya ki rit purani hai
koi hansne par majbur yahan
majbur yahan, koi rone par majbur, majbur
yahi tha kismat ko manjur
yahi tha kismat ko manjur

o mere aansu dekhne walo
o mere aansu dekhne walo
dena meri gawahi, dena meri gawahi
mere piya se ye kah dena
ye kah dena
nahi meraa koi kasur haay kasur
yahi tha kismat ko manjur
yahi tha kismat ko manjur

rone vale kyun rota hai
dena meri gawahi
aisa hi pyar me hota hai
ho parvane is mahfil me
hsay mahfil me hai jalne ka dastur, dastur
yahi tha kismat ko manjur
yahi tha kismat ko manjur

pas aake huye ham dur, ham dur
yahi tha kismat ko manjur
yahi tha kismat ko manjur

We drew close, then distanced, we did,
Thus fate decreed, as it bid.
Thus fate decreed, as it bid.
No grievance against you I hold,
No grievance against you I hold,
This world's old ways unfold.
Some forced to laughter's gleam,
Forced here to weep, a sorrow's stream,
Thus fate decreed, as it bid.
Thus fate decreed, as it bid.

Oh, beholders of my tears,
Oh, beholders of my tears,
Bear witness, I beseech, bear witness.
To my love, relay this plea,
Relay this plea,
No fault of mine, alas, decree.
Thus fate decreed, as it bid.
Thus fate decreed, as it bid.

Why weep, ye who weep now so,
Why weep, ye who weep now so,
Thus love's path, ever does flow.
In this gathering, moths ablaze,
This gathering, consumed in fire's haze,
Thus fate decreed, as it bid.
Thus fate decreed, as it bid.
We drew close, then distanced, we did,
Thus fate decreed, as it bid.
Thus fate decreed, as it bid.
