mere ghar ka kiraya do janab
mere ghar ka kiraya do janab
mera kar do barabar hissab
mere ghar ka kiraya do janab
mera kar do barabar hissab

mai tere ghar me raha tu mere dil me rahi
mai ghar me raha tu dil me rahi
bas ho gaya barabar hissab
ho tera nahi jawab

mere dil ka kiraya do janab
mere dil ka kiraya do janab
mera kar do barabar hissab
mere dil ka kiraya do janab

socha tha humne tum ho deewane
ho socha tha humne tum ho deewane
nikle magar tum kitne sayane
tum padhe jitne ye fasane
humne hi likhi hai wo kitab
ho mere dil ka kiraya do janab
ho mera kar do barabar hissab

is lene dene pe raakh daalo
is lene dene pe raakh daalo
choda gile bas gale se laga lo
thahro zara is dil ko sambhalo
apni niyat karo na kharab
ho mere dil ka kiraya do janab
ho mera kar do barabar hissab

mere dil ka kiraya do janab
mere dil ka kiraya do janab
mera kar do barabar hissab

Pay the rent for my home, sir,
Pay the rent for my home, sir,
Balance the ledger, make it square.
Pay the rent for my home, sir,
Balance the ledger, make it square.

I dwelled in your home, you in my heart,
I in the house, you in my soul's art.
Now the accounts are settled, this parting true,
No answer, alas, from you.

Pay the rent of my heart, sir,
Pay the rent of my heart, sir,
Balance the ledger, make it square.
Pay the rent of my heart, sir.

I thought you were mad, lost in love’s maze,
I thought you were mad, lost in love’s ways,
But shrewd you proved, in so many ways.
You read the tales, now gone astray,
The book of our love, it was I who did pen.
Pay the rent for my home, sir,
Balance the ledger, make it then.

Let ashes fall on this give and take,
Let ashes fall, for goodness sake.
Forget the wounds, embrace and take.
Wait, hold your heart, don't break.
Do not let your intentions go down,
Pay the rent for my home, sir,
Balance the ledger, make it square, round.

Pay the rent of my heart, sir,
Pay the rent of my heart, sir,
Balance the ledger, make it square.
