dunia me pyar jab barse
na jane dil ye kyu tarse
dunia me pyar jab barse
na jane dil ye kyu tarse
dunia me pyar jab barse
na jane dil ye kyu tarse
haye

is dil ko kaise samjhau
pagal ko kaise mai manau
is dil ko kaise samjhau
pagal ko kaise mai manau
nadaniya jo tum karte
bandish me hum unki
kyu marte haye

is dard ki na hai dawai
majnu hai ya tu hai kasai
is dard ki na hai dawai
majnu hai ya tu hai kasai
jiwo me lakh phul haste
kyu ek phul pe atke
haye

When love descends upon the world,
Why does this heart still feel unfurled?
When love descends upon the world,
Why does this heart still feel unfurled?
When love descends upon the world,
Why does this heart still feel unfurled?
Alas.

How to reason with this heart of mine,
How to soothe this madness, so divine?
How to reason with this heart of mine,
How to soothe this madness, so divine?
Foolish games that you do play,
In their shackles, why must I decay?
Alas.

No cure exists for this deep ache,
Am I Majnun, or you the butcher's stake?
No cure exists for this deep ache,
Am I Majnun, or you the butcher's stake?
A million blooms in life take hold,
Why on one frail flower must I be sold?
Alas.
