ya dil ki suno duniyawalo, ya mujhko abhi chup rehne do
mai gam ko khushi kaise keh du, jo kehte hai unko kehne do
ya dil ki suno duniyawalo, ya mujhko abhi chup rehne do
mai gam ko khushi kaise keh du, jo kehte hai unko kehne do
ya dil ki suno duniyawalo

yeh phul chaman me kaisa khila
yeh phul chaman me kaisa khila, mali ki najar me pyar nahi
hasate huye kya kya dekh liya, abb behte hain aansu behne do
ya dil ki suno duniyawalo

ek khwab khushi ka dekha nahi
ek khwab khushi ka dekha nahi, dekha jo kabhi toh bhul gaye
manga huwa tum kuchh de na sake, jo tumne diya woh sehne do
ya dil ki suno duniyawalo

kya dard kisi ka lega koyi
kya dard kisi ka lega koyi, itna toh kisi me dard nahi
behte huye aansu aur bahe, abb aisi tasalli rehne do
ya dil ki suno duniyawalo, ya mujhko abhi chup rehne do
mai gam ko khushi kaise keh du, jo kehte hai unko kehne do
ya dil ki suno duniyawalo

Listen, world, to the heart's decree,
Or leave me silent, let me be.
How can I call sorrow joy's guise?
Let those who will, speak their own lies.
Listen, world, to the heart's decree.

How blooms this flower in the garden's breast?
The gardener's gaze, devoid of zest.
I've seen such laughter, hollow-spun,
Now let the tears their courses run.
Listen, world, to the heart's decree.

A dream of joy, I've never known,
And if glimpsed, it was quickly flown.
You offer naught, though I implore,
What you have given, I'll endure.
Listen, world, to the heart's decree.

Whose pain can you truly embrace?
Whose pain can you take on your face?
The world's own ache, it will not cease,
Let tears then flow, grant me this peace.
Listen, world, to the heart's decree.
Or leave me silent, let me be.
How can I call sorrow joy's guise?
Let those who will, speak their own lies.
Listen, world, to the heart's decree.
