haal kisse baya kare dil kaa
haal kisse, haal kisse baya kare dil kaa
mehar meraaj hi nahi milta
haal kisse baya kare dil kaa

koh-e-barfi pe dhup kaa aalam
koh-e, koh-e-barfi pe dhup kaa aalam
aab-ju me kanwal ka najara
aab-ju me kanwal ka najara

lab pe aafsu najar me afsane
lab pe aafsu
lab pe aafsu najar me afsane
dilruba jism soch me duba
dilruba jism soch me duba

galiri kubsurati ke naa geet
galiri kubsurati ke naa geet
har sadaf me gauhar nahi hota
haal kisse baya kare dil kaa
haal kisse baya kare dil kaa
mehar meraaj hi nahi milta
haal kisse baya kare dil kaa

To whom shall I unravel the heart's plight?
To whom, to whom shall I speak the heart's plight?
The Moon of Ascension, it eludes my sight,
To whom shall I unravel the heart's plight?

Like sun on peaks of frozen height,
Like sun, like sun on frozen height,
A lotus blooming in waters bright,
A lotus blooming in waters bright.

On my lips, a charm, in my gaze, lore,
On my lips, a charm,
On my lips, a charm, in my gaze, lore,
The beloved form, lost in thought's core,
The beloved form, lost in thought's core.

No songs for beauty, no hymns to sing,
No songs for beauty, no hymns to sing,
Not every shell a pearl will bring,
To whom shall I unravel the heart's plight?
To whom shall I unravel the heart's plight?
The Moon of Ascension, it eludes my sight,
To whom shall I unravel the heart's plight?
