sanam raah bhule yahaan aate-aate
sanam raah bhule yahaan aate-aate
bhalaa rah gaye vo kahaan aate-aate
sanam raah bhule yahaan aate-aate, sanam

dil ki baate to chhupi si rahati hai
dil ki baate to chhupi si rahati hai
vo kyaa jaane jo nigaahe kahati hai
unhe aayegi ye zubaan aate-aate
sanam raah bhule yahaan aate-aate, sanam

roti aankho ko hansaanaa mushkil hai
roti aankho ko hansaanaa mushkil hai
is bechaini ko chhupaanaa mushkil hai
na le vo meraa imtihaan aate-aate
sanam raah bhule yahaan aate-aate, sanam

mujhase jhuthi vo qasam naa khaayenge
mujhase jhuthi vo qasam naa khaayenge
unakaa vaadaa hai yahaan vo aayenge
magar jaayegi meri jaan aate-aate
sanam raah bhule yahaan aate-aate
bhalaa rah gaye vo kahaan aate-aate
sanam raah bhule yahaan aate-aate, sanam

Beloved, the path was lost, arriving here,
Beloved, the path was lost, arriving here.
Where did they stray, approaching near?
Beloved, the path was lost, arriving here, beloved.

The heart’s whispers remain concealed,
The heart’s whispers remain concealed.
What can they know, the eyes revealed?
This tongue will come to them, arriving here,
Beloved, the path was lost, arriving here, beloved.

To make tearful eyes laugh is hard,
To make tearful eyes laugh is hard.
Concealing this unrest, a guarded art.
May they not test me, arriving here,
Beloved, the path was lost, arriving here, beloved.

They will not swear false vows to me,
They will not swear false vows to me.
Their promise is to come, you see.
But my soul departs, arriving here,
Beloved, the path was lost, arriving here.
Where did they stray, approaching near?
Beloved, the path was lost, arriving here, beloved.
