chhupa le dag-e-jigar daag-e-dil zamane se
ki dard aur badhega inhe dikhane se

ai dard-e-jigar, fariyad na kar bahte hai to aansu bahne de
ai dard-e-jigar, fariyad na kar bahte hai to aansu bahne de
sahil ki tamanna karta ja, manjhdhar me kashti rahne de
ai dard-e-jigar

hamko to zamane se apna dukh-dard chupaye rahna hai
hamko to zamane se apna dukh-dard chupaye rahna hai
ho jaye na apni rusawai, har zulm ko has kar sahne de
ai dard-e-jigar, fariyad na kar bahte hai to aansu bahne de
ai dard-e-jigar

dil saup chuke hai ham jin ko ab unse shikwa kya karna
dil saup chuke hai ham jin ko ab unse shikwa kya karna
jis hal me rakhna chahe wo, us hal me ham ko rahne de
ai dard-e-jigar, fariyad na kar bahte hai to aansu bahne de
sahil ki tamanna karta ja, manjhdhar me kashti rahne de
ai dard-e-jigar

Conceal the brand upon your heart, the wound within, from prying eyes,
For showing them will only deepen the ache that underlies.

Oh, heart's ache, do not cry aloud, let the tears freely flow,
Oh, heart's ache, do not cry aloud, let the tears freely flow,
Long for the shore, though your vessel must the raging currents know.
Oh, heart's ache...

From the world, we must hide our suffering, our hidden plight,
From the world, we must hide our suffering, the shadows of the night.
Lest shame befall us, let us smile through every cruel bite,
Oh, heart's ache, do not cry aloud, let the tears freely flow,
Oh, heart's ache...

We have surrendered our hearts to them, what complaints can we now claim?
We have surrendered our hearts to them, what complaints can we now claim?
In whatever state they wish, in that state let us remain.
Oh, heart's ache, do not cry aloud, let the tears freely flow,
Long for the shore, though your vessel must the raging currents know.
Oh, heart's ache...
