tu shok se meri har arzoo mitata ja
agar bura na laga mujhe ye batata ja
kya sukh paya tune dil mera tod ke
kya sukh paya tune dil mera tod ke
dil mera tod ke o dil mera tod ke
kya sukh paya tune dil mera tod ke

beti garib ki mai bachpan se roti aai
chote se man me lakho arman lai aai mai
sath tere aai me sath tere
apno ko chhod ke apno ko chhod ke
kya sukh paya tune dil mera tod ke
kya sukh paya tune dil mera tod ke

humko hai pyari raja aanhe humari
aanhe humari tumko mubarak raja
khushiya tumhari khushiya tumhari
aao na pas mere aao na pas mere
khushiyo ko chhod ke khushiyo ko chhod ke
kya sukh paya tune dil mera tod ke

sun sako to mera itna fasana
doli me aana raja arthi me jana arthi me jana
jau to kaise jau ghar tera chhod ke ghar tera chhod ke
kya sukh paya tune dil mera tod ke
kya sukh paya tune dil mera tod ke

With a playful hand, you erase my desire,
If it displeases not, tell me, inspire.
What joy did you find, shattering my heart?
Shattering my heart, tearing it apart.
Shattering my heart, oh, shattering it apart.
What joy did you find, shattering my heart?

A poor girl’s tears, from childhood they fell,
A tiny heart, where countless dreams dwell.
I came with you, I came with you,
Leaving my own, leaving my own.
What joy did you find, shattering my heart?
What joy did you find, shattering my heart?

Our sighs, dear king, are precious to us,
May they bring you joy, my king, a blessed cause.
Your happiness, your happiness,
Come near to me, come near to me.
Leaving your joys, leaving your joys.
What joy did you find, shattering my heart?

If you can hear, then listen to my tale,
In a wedding palanquin to you I came, in a funeral pyre I must leave.
How can I leave, leaving your home?
How can I leave, leaving your home?
What joy did you find, shattering my heart?
What joy did you find, shattering my heart?
