chinab ke behte huye pani
chinab ke behte huye pani
mere dilbar se kah de tu meri kahani
mere dilbar se kah de tu meri kahani
chinab ke behte huye pani
chinab ke behte huye pani

mere dilbar ko kah de ye mere paigam
mere dilbar ko kah de ye mere paigam
teri yad me teri yad me roti hai subah sham
kahana ro ro ke hui hai jawani diwani
ro ro ke hui hai jawani diwani
chinab ke behte huye pani
mere dilbar se kah de tu meri kahani
chinab ke behte huye pani

jab se bas me pade hai tujhse yad ke
jab se bas me pade hai tujhse yad ke
tab se tukade huye dil ae barbad ke
tab se tukade huye dil ae barbad ke
dag khun ka hai ab to dil ki nishani
dag khun ka hai ab to dil ki nishani
mere dilbar se kah de tu meri kahani
mere dilbar se kah de tu meri kahani
chinab ke behte huye pani
chinab ke behte huye pani

shama pe jal jaye jaise patanga
shama pe jal jaye jaise patanga
tu bhi kahe mohabbat me jal ja
tu bhi kahe mohabbat me jal ja
ulfat na jani duniya hai pani
mere dilbar se kah de tu meri kahani
mere dilbar se kah de tu meri kahani
chinab ke behte huye pani
chinab ke behte huye pani

Flowing waters of Chenab,
Flowing waters of Chenab,
Whisper my tale to my beloved,
Whisper my tale to my beloved,
Flowing waters of Chenab,
Flowing waters of Chenab.

Carry my message to my love,
Carry my message to my love,
That in your memory, morning and evening I weep,
In your memory, morning and evening I weep,
Tell him, weeping, youth has turned mad,
Weeping, youth has turned mad,
Flowing waters of Chenab,
Whisper my tale to my beloved,
Flowing waters of Chenab.

Since I've been consumed by memories of you,
Since I've been consumed by memories of you,
My ruined heart has shattered into pieces,
My ruined heart has shattered into pieces,
The stain of blood is now the heart's only sign,
The stain of blood is now the heart's only sign,
Whisper my tale to my beloved,
Whisper my tale to my beloved,
Flowing waters of Chenab,
Flowing waters of Chenab.

Like a moth that burns in the flame,
Like a moth that burns in the flame,
You too, say, burn in love's fire,
You too, say, burn in love's fire,
For the world is fleeting, love is the sea,
Whisper my tale to my beloved,
Whisper my tale to my beloved,
Flowing waters of Chenab,
Flowing waters of Chenab.
