pyar hai ya saza ae mere dil bata
tutata kyu nahi dard ka silsila
is pyar me ho kaise kaise imtiha
ye pyar likhe kaisi kaisi dasta
ya rabba de de koi jaan bhi agar
dilbar par ho na dilbar par ho na koi asar
ho ya rabba de de koi jaan bhi agar
dilbar par ho na dilbar par ho na koi asar
ho pyar hai ya saza ae mere dil bata
tutata kyu nahi dard ka silsila

kaisa hai safar wafa ki manjil ka
na hai koi hal dilo ki mushkil ka
dhadkan dhadkan bikhri ranjhise
sanse sanse tuti bandise
kahi to har lamha hohto par fariyad hai
kisi ki duniya chahat me barbad hai
ya rabba de de koi jaan bhi agar
dilbar par ho na dilbar par ho na koi asar
ho ya rabba de de koi jaan bhi agar
dilbar par ho na dilbar par ho na koi asar

koi na sune sisakati aaho ko
koi na dhare tadpti baho ko
aadhi aadhi puri khawaishe
tuti futi sab farmaise
kahi shak hai kahi nafrat ki diwar hai
kahi jit me bhi shamil pal pal har hai
ya rabba de de koi jaan bhi agar
dilbar par ho na dilbar par ho na koi asar
ho ya rabba de de koi jaan bhi agar
dilbar par ho na dilbar par ho na koi asar
ho pyar hai ya saza ae mere dil bata
tutata kyu nahi dard ka silsila, ho ho
na puchho dard banda se hasi kaisi, khushi kaisi
musibat sar pe rahti hai kabhi kaisi, kabhi kaisi
ho rabba rabba ho rabba hooo, hoo rabba

Tell me, heart, is this love or a curse?
Why does this chain of pain never disperse?
What trials are faced in this love's domain?
What tales of woe does this love sustain?
Oh, Lord, if it's possible, give a life to me,
But let it not affect my beloved, let it be.
Oh, Lord, if it's possible, give a life to me,
But let it not affect my beloved, let it be.
Tell me, heart, is this love or a curse?
Why does this chain of pain never disperse?

What path leads to fidelity's shore?
No solution exists for hearts that implore.
Each heartbeat sells its resentments anew,
Each breath breaks the chains that bind true.
Somewhere, each moment, complaints arise,
Someone's world, in desire, slowly dies.
Oh, Lord, if it's possible, give a life to me,
But let it not affect my beloved, let it be.
Oh, Lord, if it's possible, give a life to me,
But let it not affect my beloved, let it be.

No one hears the sighs that softly weep,
No one soothes the arms that yearn and sleep.
Half-formed wishes, forever denied,
Broken requests, scattered far and wide.
Suspicion's wall, or hatred's cruel art,
Even triumph contains a losing heart.
Oh, Lord, if it's possible, give a life to me,
But let it not affect my beloved, let it be.
Oh, Lord, if it's possible, give a life to me,
But let it not affect my beloved, let it be.
Tell me, heart, is this love or a curse?
Why does this chain of pain never disperse, oh?
Ask not the wounded of laughter, its jest,
Of joy, for hardship forever is pressed,
Sometimes like this, sometimes like that,
Oh Rabba, Rabba, Oh Rabba, oh Rabba.
