diwana to kah diya to kah diya
diwangi samjhi nahi tune sanam meri kabhi
tune sanam meri kabhi aashiki samjhi nahi
diwana to kah diya diwana to kah diya

pagal hai dil meri khata nahi
kab pyar ho gya pata nahi
mere darde dil ki koi dawa nahi
ho mere darde dil ki koi dawa nahi
fir bhi kisi se koi gila nahi
aawara to kah diya aawara to kah diya
aawaragi samjhi nahi
tune sanam meri kabhi tune sanam meri kabhi
aashiki samjhi nahi
diwana to kah diya diwana to kah diya

ae kash koi mera sanam mile
kisi meharba ki najre karam mile
raaho me uski palke bichau mai
ho raaho me uski palke bichau mai
sari duniya ko fir bhulau mai
mastana to kah diya mastana to kah diya
par bekhudi samjhi nahi
tune sanam meri kabhi tune sanam meri kabhi
aashiki samjhi nahi
diwana to kah diya diwana to kah diya

They called me mad, they called me mad,
yet never grasped the madness that possessed my soul.
Never, oh beloved, never did you comprehend my love.
They called me mad, they called me mad.

My heart is lost, no fault of mine,
I know not when love took hold and intertwined.
My heart's deep ache has no remedy,
oh, my heart's deep ache has no remedy,
yet still, I harbor no complaint against destiny.
They called me vagrant, they called me vagrant,
yet never understood the wandering in my heart.
Never, oh beloved, never did you comprehend my love.
They called me mad, they called me mad.

If only, a beloved would grace my life,
If only, a compassionate gaze would quell my strife.
I would pave his paths with lashes of my eyes,
oh, I would pave his paths with lashes of my eyes,
and in his love, I would forget the world's cries.
They called me intoxicated, they called me intoxicated,
yet never understood the ecstasy that consumed me.
Never, oh beloved, never did you comprehend my love.
They called me mad, they called me mad.
