kaise batau unse, is dil ko pyar kyun hai
dil bekarar kyun hai
unko bhula ke, unka ab intzar kyun hai
dil bekarar kyun hai

malum kya tha aansu, parde me hain hansi ke
kisko khabar thi yu din, badlenge zindagi ke
ik bewafa ki khatir, beikhtiyar kyun hai
dil bekarar kyun hai
unko bhula ke, unka ab intzar kyun hai

batalao ae baharo, bolo are nazaro
batalao ae baharo, bolo are nazaro
mai tumse puchhta hu, chup kyun ho ae sitaro
kaali hai chandani kyun, ujdi bahar kyun hai
dil bekarar kyun hai
unko bhula ke, unka ab intzar kyun hai
kyun hai

How can I tell them why my heart loves so,
Why it's restless, a turbulent flow?
Why, having forgotten, I still wait for them, slow?
Why is my heart so restless, I don't know.

Who knew tears hid beneath laughter's guise?
Who foresaw how life would shift before our eyes?
For a faithless one, why this helpless surprise?
Why is my heart so restless, where the truth lies?
Why, having forgotten, I still wait for them, surprise?

Tell me, o spring, speak, o sights so fair,
Tell me, o spring, speak, let your secrets share,
I ask you, why silence, o stars in the air?
Why is the moon veiled, the spring bare?
Why is my heart so restless, filled with care?
Why, having forgotten, I still wait for them, somewhere?
Why?
