tere pyar ka kya jawab du
mai ye sochti hu mai kya kahu
inkar karne ka hak to hai
ikrar karne ka hak nahi
mujhe pyar karne ka hak nahi
mujhe pyar karne ka hak nahi
mujhe pyar karne ka hak nahi
mujhe pyar karne ka hak nahi

tujhe dar nahi hai samaj ka
tujhe dar nahi hai samaj ka
kisi rasam ka ya riwaz ka
mere dil ke jakham siyega tu
mai jahar bhi hu to piyega tu
teri baat sach hai magar
mujhe atbaar karne ka hak nahi
mujhe pyar karne ka hak nahi
mujhe pyar karne ka hak nahi
mujhe pyar karne ka hak nahi

meri aarzu to wo kar sake
meri aarzu to wo kar sake
meri mang koi na bhar sake
meri jindagi to na khil sake
mai jo maut mangu na mil sake
yahi faisla hai nasib ka
takraar karne ka hak nahi
mujhe pyar karne ka hak nahi
mujhe pyar karne ka hak nahi
mujhe pyar karne ka hak nahi

mujhe bhul ja mujhe jaan le
mujhe bhul ja mujhe jaan le
meri bebasi pahchan le
na mai soj hu na mai saaz hu
mai kisi gunah ka raaz hu
khamosh rahne ka hak to hai
khamosh rahne ka hak to hai
izhaar karne ka hak nahi
mujhe pyar karne ka hak nahi
mujhe pyar karne ka hak nahi
mujhe pyar karne ka hak nahi

How to answer your love, I ponder,
what words can I find?
To deny, I have no right,
to confess, no claim is mine.
To love, for me, is forbidden,
to love, is not my right,
to love, is forbidden,
to love, is not my right.

You fear not the world's gaze,
nor traditions' chains,
nor the customs of the age.
You'd mend the wounds of my heart,
you'd drink the poison I impart.
Your words ring true, I know,
but to believe, no right I hold,
to love, for me, is forbidden,
to love, is not my right,
to love, is forbidden,
to love, is not my right.

My longing, it cannot be fulfilled,
no one can adorn my brow,
my life, it cannot bloom,
even death, a plea unheard.
Fate decrees this plight,
to quarrel, I have no right,
to love, for me, is forbidden,
to love, is not my right,
to love, is forbidden,
to love, is not my right.

Forget me now, understand,
forget me now, understand,
recognize my helplessness.
I am neither flame nor song,
I am the secret of a sin.
Silence, I have a right to hold,
silence, I have a right to hold,
to speak, no claim is mine,
to love, for me, is forbidden,
to love, is not my right,
to love, is forbidden,
to love, is not my right.
