dil kisi ki yad me barbad hai
dil kisi ki yad me barbad hai
sunne walo bas yahi fariyad hai

do ghadi dekhi thi ulfat ki khushi
ro rahi hai ab talak ye jindagi
do ghadi dekhi thi ulfat ki khushi
ro rahi hai ab talak ye jindagi
aasuo se jindagi abad hai
aasuo se jindagi abad hai
sunne walo bas yahi fariyad hai
dil kisi ki yad me barbad hai

maine samjha jisko dil ka asra
dil ki khushiya lut ke wo chal diya
maine samjha jisko dil ka asra
dil ki khushiya lut ke wo chal diya
kya khabar thi mujhko wo sayyad hai
kya khabar thi mujhko wo sayyad hai
sunne walo bas yahi fariyad hai
dil kisi ki yad me barbad hai

The heart, a ruin in memory's keep,
The heart, a ruin, where shadows sleep,
Hearken, all who listen, this my plea:

Brief moments held love's fleeting grace,
Now life weeps, tears upon its face,
Brief moments held love's fleeting grace,
Now life weeps, tears upon its face,
With tears, this life finds its abode,
With tears, this life's heavy load,
Hearken, all who listen, this my plea:
The heart, a ruin in memory's keep.

I believed, the heart's comfort and stay,
He plundered my joys, then turned away,
I believed, the heart's comfort and stay,
He plundered my joys, then turned away,
Little I knew, he, the hunter's art,
Little I knew, the hunter's heart,
Hearken, all who listen, this my plea:
The heart, a ruin in memory's keep.
