aye dil, pagal mere dil
tujhko pata hai, ye ishq kya hai
manjil, dhadkan ki manjil
gumsum sada hai, rab ki dua hai
bada jaalim, iska junun
nahi milta isme sukun
aye dil, pagal mere dil
tujhko pata hai, ye ishq kya hai

koi khwabo me aake
meri jawan tanhayi ko mahka gaya
pyase armaa jagake
jajbat ke ahsas ko bahka gaya
shikayat hai, shikwa bhi hai
yakin hai to, dhokha bhi hai
bada jaalim, iska junun
nahi milta isme sukun
aye dil, pagal mere dil
tujhko pata hai, ye ishq kya hai

aalam, kitna hasi tha
bole bina har baat ke izhar ka
khushi hai to, ranjish bhi hai
milan hai to, bandish bhi hai
bada jaalim, iska junun
nahi milta isme sukun
aye dil, pagal mere dil
tujhko pata hai, ye ishq kya hai
manjil, dhadkan ki manjil
gumsum sada hai, rab ki dua hai
ae dil

O heart, my maddened heart,
Do you know, what is this love?
The destination, the heart's own goal,
A silent song, a prayer from above.
So cruel is this passion's fire,
In its embrace, no solace is found, entire.
O heart, my maddened heart,
Do you know, what is this love?

Someone came in dreams,
And perfumed my youthful solitude,
Awakening thirsty desires, it seems,
And misled the feeling's attitude.
There is complaint, there is also grief,
If faith exists, deception is chief.
So cruel is this passion's fire,
In its embrace, no solace is higher.
O heart, my maddened heart,
Do you know, what is this love?

The world, how beautiful it was,
Without words, every conversation's display.
If joy exists, there is also cause,
If union, then also the fray.
So cruel is this passion's fire,
In its embrace, no solace is higher.
O heart, my maddened heart,
Do you know, what is this love?
The destination, the heart's own goal,
A silent song, a prayer from above.
O heart...
