jal jal ke
jal jal ke kahe hum ji se
kyu pyar kiya tha kisi se
jal jal ke
jal jal ke kahe hum ji se
kyu pyar kiya tha kisi se
jal jal ke

dil deke unhe hum haar gaye
sab apne jatan de paar gaye
ummid ka daman saak hua
ek aag lagi dil khaak hua
majbur hai dil ki lagi pe
jalta hai kaun usi pe
jal jal ke
jal jal ke kahe hum ji se
kyu pyar kiya tha kisi se
jal jal ke

takdir me jo tha hoke raha
kya socha tha kya hoke raha
is ranj se aahe kyu na bhare
is gham ki shikayat kyu na kare
dil jisko diya marzi se
sukh paya aaj usi se
jal jal ke
jal jal ke kahe hum ji se
kyu pyar kiya tha kisi se
jal jal ke

Burning, burning,
Burning, we say to our souls,
Why did we love someone?
Burning, burning,
Burning, we say to our souls,
Why did we love someone?
Burning.

Giving our hearts, we lost them,
All our efforts passed away.
The cloak of hope was rent asunder,
A fire ignited, the heart turned to ash.
Helpless before the heart's longing,
Who can burn with the same fire?
Burning, burning,
Burning, we say to our souls,
Why did we love someone?
Burning.

What was destined, happened,
What was thought, turned out different.
Why not sigh from this sorrow?
Why not complain of this grief?
The heart we gave willingly,
Finds peace today with that same one.
Burning, burning,
Burning, we say to our souls,
Why did we love someone?
Burning.
