chahat ka mujhape asar mai duniya se bekhabar
chalata hun apani dagar mazil hai meri pyar

chauko mat ai dosto yun hi mujhase mat daro
mere bhole pyar ko nadani na samajho
hatho me jo hath hai jivan bhar ka saath hai
sidhi-sachchi bat hai kahani na samajho

Alas, alas, the soul, the soul,
Alas, alas, what shall I do, the soul, the soul?
Alas, alas, what shall I do, the soul, the soul?
My heart is lost, the soul, the soul,
Alas, alas, what shall I do, the soul, the soul?

Some call me mad, some call me a fool,
Some call me a moth, eager to burn in the flame.
The touch of love has taken its hold, I'm lost to the world,
I walk my own path, my destination is love's name.
Alas, alas, the soul, the soul,
My heart is lost, the soul, the soul,
Alas, alas, what shall I do, the soul, the soul?
Alas, alas, the soul, the soul.

Do not startle, my friends, do not fear me so,
Do not mistake my innocent love for foolishness.
Hands clasped in hands, a lifetime's embrace,
A simple, honest truth, not a tale to suppress.
Alas, alas, the soul, the soul,
Alas, alas, what shall I do, the soul, the soul?
My heart is lost, the soul, the soul,
Alas, alas, what shall I do, the soul, the soul?
Alas, alas, the soul, the soul.

Intoxication in my eyes, intoxication in my words,
Intoxication in my breath, I'm swayed without drink.
Suffocating helplessness, timid every hour,
Without love, what is life? For what do I even think?
Alas, alas, the soul, the soul,
Alas, alas, what shall I do, the soul, the soul?
My heart is lost, the soul, the soul,
Alas, alas, what shall I do, the soul, the soul?
Alas, alas, what shall I do, the soul, the soul?
Alas, alas, what shall I do, the soul, the soul?
Alas, alas, the soul, the soul.
Alas, alas, what shall I do, the soul, the soul?
The soul, the soul,
Alas, alas, what shall I do, the soul, the soul?
