chaahe laakh jamana roke
jamana roke ye duniya toke
dil rahega kisi ka hoke
ho dil rehega kisi ka hoke

dil aaye kaha phir dil hai
dil aaye sabar dil aaye sabar
dil aaye kaha phir dil hai
samjho na ise mushkil hai
samjho na ise mushkil hai
ye jawani diwani kare manmaani
ye jawani diwani kare manmaani
ye gupchup dikhaye dhokhe
chaahe laakh jamana roke
jamana roke ye duniya toke
dil rahega kisi ka hoke
ho dil rehega kisi ka hoke

sabse achchi dil ki duniya
pyar ka hai ye dera
is duniya me dil ka maalik
pritam kare basera
ye dilwale pyar ke gham se
ye dilwale pyar ke gham se
rahte huye hai dil kho ke
rahte huye hai dil kho ke
chaahe laakh jamana roke
jamana roke ye duniya toke
dil rahega kisi ka hoke
ho dil rehega kisi ka hoke

Though the world may try to bind,
And a thousand voices scold,
My heart will find, forever entwined,
My heart, another's to hold.

Where the heart has flown, the heart remains,
Patience, the heart's command,
Where the heart has flown, the heart remains,
Do not deem this a burdened land.
This wild youth, so free,
Does as it pleases, you see,
Whispers secrets, deceives,
Though the world may try to bind,
And a thousand voices scold,
My heart will find, forever entwined,
My heart, another's to hold.

The heart's realm, the fairest of all,
Where love has made its home,
Within this world, the beloved's call,
Where solace will freely roam.
These lovers, bound by love's sweet ache,
These lovers, lost and forlorn,
Lose themselves, for love's own sake,
Losing their hearts till morn.
Losing their hearts till morn.
Though the world may try to bind,
And a thousand voices scold,
My heart will find, forever entwined,
My heart, another's to hold.
