mujhe tu maf karna, mujhe tu maf karna

A thousand yearn for me, a thousand yearn.
Forgive me, darling, forgive me now.
My heart for you, it shall not burn.
My heart for you, I cannot vow.
Forgive me, darling, forgive me now.

You hold degrees, yet fail to grasp love's art,
You, with your books, how little you have known!
From me, you must learn to play the heart,
For love's sweet game, you must be thrown!
Forgive me, darling, forgive me now.
A thousand yearn for me, a thousand yearn.
Forgive me, darling, forgive me now.

Letters arrive from lands far away,
From Bengal's shore and Uttar Pradesh's call.
I, too, wrote a note, come what may,
To Bhopal's queen, encompassing all.
I said, just once, your own self to impart,
Just once, your own self to impart.
Forgive me, darling, forgive me now.
A thousand yearn for me, a thousand yearn.
Forgive me, darling, forgive me now.

One heart I hold, a million souls alight,
One single flame, a sea of moths that soar.
I ask, to whom shall I give my light?
To whom to give, and nothing more?
Forgive me, darling, forgive me now.
A thousand yearn for me, a thousand yearn.
Forgive me, darling, forgive me now.
