dil jawani ke nashe se chur hai
dil jawani ke nashe se chur hai
kaun kahta hai ke dilli dur hai
kaun kahta hai ke dilli dur hai

jab se ye jalim jawani aa gayi
hoye har ada ko chedkhani aa gayi
aankh ladne ke liye majbur hai
kaun kahta hoye kaun kahta hai
kaun kahta hai ke dilli dur hai
kaun kahta hai ke dilli dur hai

hamne dil jiske hawale kar diya
usne jakhmo se kaleja bhar diya
de diye kismat ko jo manjur hai
kaun kahta hai ke dilli dur hai
kaun kahta hai ke dilli dur hai

jo hasi dekha use apna liya
aji char bate karke dil bahla liya
char bate karke dil bahla liya
bas hamara to yahi dastur hai
kaun kahta haye kaun kahta
kaun kahta hai ke dilli dur hai
dil jawani ke nashe se chur hai
kaun kahta hai ke dilli dur hai
kaun kahta hai ke dilli dur hai

The heart, drunk on youth's sweet wine, it sways,
The heart, drunk on youth's sweet wine, it sways.
Who whispers Delhi's distant, fading haze?
Who whispers Delhi's distant, fading haze?

Since cruel youth has risen, bold and bright,
Since cruel youth has risen, bold and bright,
Each gesture veiled in playful, teasing light.
Each gesture veiled in playful, teasing light.
Eyes compelled to lock in fiery gaze,
Who says, oh who says?
Who whispers Delhi's distant, fading haze?
Who whispers Delhi's distant, fading haze?

The heart we gave, surrendered, wholly true,
The heart we gave, surrendered, wholly true,
Returned a chest of wounds, a tear-filled view.
Returned a chest of wounds, a tear-filled view.
To fate we bowed, as destiny would do.
Who whispers Delhi's distant, fading haze?
Who whispers Delhi's distant, fading haze?

Each beauty seen, we claimed as our own,
Each beauty seen, we claimed as our own,
With fleeting words, the lonely heart was sown.
With fleeting words, the lonely heart was sown.
Our custom is to wander, ever flown.
Who says, alas, who says?
Who whispers Delhi's distant, fading haze?
The heart, drunk on youth's sweet wine, it sways.
Who whispers Delhi's distant, fading haze?
Who whispers Delhi's distant, fading haze?
