dil lagana tu kya janela hamara dil
jo na jane na dil ki lagi ko
us se nibe mushkil
dil lagana tu kya jane la hamara dil

juthe ho jiske vade juthi ho jiski kasme
kab tak rahega koi aise sanam ke bas me
ham nahi hai vo diwane la hamara dil
jo na jane na dil ki lagi ko
us se nibe mushkil
dil lagana tu kya jane la hamara dil

mehanga hai dil ka sauda mushkil wafa ki rahe
aankho ne dekhe aanshu hotho se nikale aahe
le sambhal ye najrane la hamara dil
us se nibe mushkil
dil lagana tu kya jane la hamara dil

You, who do not know the soul, how can you bind my heart?
You, who know not the fire of a lover's art,
With you, no union can impart.
You, who do not know the soul, how can you bind my heart?

False are his vows, and fleeting his oath's embrace,
How long will one remain in such a worthless space?
I am not that fool, that lost and wandering trace.
You, who know not the fire of a lover's art,
With you, no union can impart.
You, who do not know the soul, how can you bind my heart?

Costly is the heart's bargain, difficult is love's way,
The eyes have seen the teardrops, sighs the lips convey.
Take back these worthless offerings, come what may.
With you, no union can impart.
You, who do not know the soul, how can you bind my heart?
