humne kya pyar kiya pyar ka badla na mila
humne kya pyar kiya pyar ka badla na mila
sara jag dhund liya koi bhi apna na mila
humne kya pyar kiya

humne chaha tha ke is pyar ko singar mile
teri baho ka mehekta hua
ek har mile pyar hi pyar ho
aisa koi sansar mile dukh bhari rat mili
khushiyo ka sapna na mila sara jag dhund liya
koi bhi apna na mila humne kya pyar kiya

hum badhe jinki taraf deep vo bujh jate hai
phool sehlaye agar kate se chubh jate hai
jinki chao me ruke paat vo jal jate hai
aisi takdeer jo badle vo sitara na mila
sara jag dhund liya koi bhi apna na mila
haye humne kya pyar kiya

We loved, yet love's reward was lost to sight,
We loved, yet love's reward, denied its light.
The world I roamed, searching deep and wide,
Found no belonging, nowhere to confide.
We loved, and for that love, we deeply sighed.

We wished this love would bloom, a jeweled grace,
Your arms, a fragrant, encircling embrace.
A garland woven, in love's sweet space,
Where only love would dwell, in time and place.
But sorrow's night arrived, joy's dream erased,
The world I roamed, no kindred face I traced.
We loved, and for that love, our tears embraced.

We turned to those, whose lamps now dimmed and died,
Flowers caressed, by thorns forever tied.
Beneath whose shade, the leaves, now scorched inside,
A star to change this fate, could not be spied.
The world I roamed, no comfort could provide.
Oh, we loved, and for that love, our souls now cried.
