ae dard-e-jigar, mere dard-e-jigar
raat kyon kar kati ye tujhe kya khabar
ae dard-e-jigar, mere dard-e-jigar
raat kyon kar kati ye tujhe kya khabar
ae dard-e-jigar, mere dard-e-jigar

main to jaga hi thie, duniya soti rahi
soti rahi
ek shabnam thi jo sath roti rahi
roti rahi
dekh phulo ki hai pattiya tar-b-tar
ae dard-e-jigar, mere dard-e-jigar
o raat kyon kar kati ye tujhe kya khabar
ae dard-e-jigar, mere dard-e-jigar

jajb-e-dil hai to khud hi chale aayenge
chale aayenge
ye musibat ke din bhi gujar jayenge
gujar jayenge
hum to baithe rahenge yu hi umar bhar
ae dard-e-jigar, mere dard-e-jigar
o raat kyon kar kati ye tujhe kya khabar
ae dard-e-jigar, mere dard-e-jigar

Oh, ache within my heart, ache within my heart,
How the night unfurled, what secrets did it impart?
Oh, ache within my heart, ache within my heart,
How the night unfurled, what secrets did it impart?
Oh, ache within my heart, ache within my heart.

I was awake, while the world slumbered deep,
Slumbered deep,
A lone dewdrop wept, secrets it did keep,
Secrets it did keep.
See the petals drenched, kissed by tears that weep.
Oh, ache within my heart, ache within my heart,
Oh, how the night unfurled, what secrets did it impart?
Oh, ache within my heart, ache within my heart.

If the heart's yearning burns, it will find its way,
Find its way,
These trials of woe, they too shall fade away,
Fade away.
We will sit and wait, through life's long, slow day.
Oh, ache within my heart, ache within my heart,
Oh, how the night unfurled, what secrets did it impart?
Oh, ache within my heart, ache within my heart.
