ye to bata mere khuda
ye to bata mere khuda
lut gaya mera pyaar kyun
dil ki kali khili na thi
dil ki kali khili na thi
ruth gayi bahaar kyun
ye to bata mere khuda
meri kali ko chhin kar
meri kali ko chhin kar
kya mila baaghbaan tujhe
kya mila baaghbaan tujhe
bulbule badnasib ki
bulbule badnasib ki
sunta nahin pukaar kyun
ye to bata mere khuda
lut gaya mera pyaar kyun
ye to bata mere khuda

aake chali gayi khushi
aake chali gayi khushi
yaad hi dil mein reh gayi
yaad hi dil mein reh gayi
yaad bhi kyun na chhin li
yaad bhi kyun na chhin li
aati hai baar baar kyun
ye to bata mere khuda
lut gaya mera pyaar kyun
dil ki kali khili na thi
ruth gayi bahaar kyun
ye to bata mere khuda

Tell me, my God, whisper the truth,
Why was my love stolen, a shadowed youth?
The heart's bud, it never unfurled,
Why did spring forsake my world?

Tell me, my God, the secret you keep,
Snatching my flower, buried in sleep,
What gain, Gardener, from such cruel deed?
The nightingale's plight, a sorrowful creed,
Why heedless, you turn from my plea?
Tell me, my God, the truth, set me free,
Why was my love stolen, eternally?
Tell me, my God.

Happiness came, then vanished from sight,
Leaving only memories, burning so bright,
Why wasn't memory stolen, erased from my core?
Why does it haunt me, forevermore?
Tell me, my God, the sorrow I bear,
Why was my love stolen, beyond all repair?
The heart's bud, it never unfurled,
Why did spring forsake my world?
Tell me, my God.
