ae gham e dil tera chara main karu to kya karu
jindgi hai besahara main karu to kya karu
ae gham e dil tera chara
sab andheri dur shahil
na khuda majbur hai
na khuda majbur hai
koi batlao khudara
koi batlao khudara main karu to kya karu
ae gham e dil tera chara

apni armano ki barbadi ka manjar dekh kar
barbadi ka manjar dekh kar
khun hokar dil pukara
khun hokar dil pukara
main karu to kya karu
ae gham e dil tera chara main karu to kya karu
ae gham e dil tera chara
log gairo ka gila apno se karte hai magar
mujhko apno hi ne mara
main karu to kya karu

O, sorrow of the heart, how shall I mend thee?
Life, a vessel adrift, how shall I then be?
O, sorrow of the heart...

Darkness deep, shore unseen,
Neither God compelled, nor is He.
None to guide, oh, tell me,
None to guide, oh, tell me, how shall I then be?
O, sorrow of the heart...

Seeing the ruin of my soul's desire,
Seeing the ruin,
My heart, bleeding cries,
My heart, bleeding cries, how shall I then be?
O, sorrow of the heart, how shall I mend thee?
O, sorrow of the heart...

Others cry to strangers, of their pain,
Yet, my own ones have struck the blow.
How shall I then be, what shall I do?
