preet kiye dukh hoye ye jane sab kyo
ye jane sab kyo
neha laga ke pachhtana kya
neha laga ke pachhtana kya
preet kiye dukh hoye ye jane sab kyo
neha laga ke pachhtana kya
neha laga ke pachhtana kya

ghar ka deepak aag lagata
mitha badal dard bhadata
bijli se dar jana kya
neha laga ke pachhtana kya

dur rahke majbur rahe jo
pas me aakar dur rahe jo
aiso ko dard sunana kya
neha laga ke pachhtana kya

jakar ke jo phir na aaye
ram kare wo chain na paye
jane walo ko bulana kya
neha laga ke pachhtana kya
preet kiye dukh hoye ye jane sab kyo
neha laga ke pachhtana kya

Love's embrace, a known sorrow, why, oh why?
Why, oh why?
Why rue the love you embraced?
Why rue the love you embraced?
Love's embrace, a known sorrow, why, oh why?
Why rue the love you embraced?
Why rue the love you embraced?

The hearth's lamp, a burning blaze,
Sweet clouds that swell with pain's maze,
Why fear the lightning's display?
Why rue the love you embraced?

Distance binds, a captive plight,
Near, yet removed from fading light,
Why whisper to those who drift away?
Why rue the love you embraced?

Those who depart, who never return,
May peace elude, may their spirits burn,
Why call to those who choose to stray?
Why rue the love you embraced?
Love's embrace, a known sorrow, why, oh why?
Why rue the love you embraced?
