jara dekhiye meri saadgi mai wafa ke naam pe lut gaya
jara dekhiye meri saadgi mai wafa ke naam pe lut gaya
liya pyar ko khuda samajh mai pyar ke naam pe lut gaya
jara dekhiye meri saadgi

mai teri wafa ki talash me mai teri wafa ki talash me
tu kahe to umar gujar du le ke aftab ki roshani
tere rukh ka sadka utar du tere rukh ka sadka utar du
teri julf khul ke ghata bani teri julf khul ke ghata bani
mai ghata ke naam pe lut gaya liya pyar ko khuda samajh
mai pyar ke naam pe lut gaya jara dekhiye meri saadgi

ye tere hi pyar ki aag thi ye tere hi pyar ki aag thi
jise pake ishq pighal gaya ye tere hi husn ka nur tha
jise dil ne dekha machal gaya jise dil ne dekha machal gaya
mujhe katal kar gayi har ada mujhe katal kar gayi har ada
mai adaa ke naam pe lut gaya liya pyar ko khuda samajh
mai pyar ke naam pe lut gaya jara dekhiye meri saadgi

Behold my simplicity, betrayed by fidelity's guise,
Behold my simplicity, betrayed by fidelity's guise,
I took love for a god, and in love's name, I was plundered,
Behold my simplicity.

In search of your faithfulness, in search of your faithfulness,
If you wish, I would spend an age,
With the sun's light in my grasp,
To offer as sacrifice your radiant face,
To offer as sacrifice your radiant face.
Your tresses unbound, became a cloud,
Your tresses unbound, became a cloud,
And in that cloud's name, I was plundered,
I took love for a god, and in my own name, I was plundered,
Behold my simplicity.

This was the fire of your love,
That, in finding it, my passion dissolved,
This was the light of your beauty,
That the heart beheld and yearned,
That the heart beheld and yearned.
Each gesture, it slew me,
Each gesture, it slew me,
And in each gesture's name, I was plundered,
I took love for a god,
And in love's name, I was plundered,
Behold my simplicity.
