meri bahein mere hatho me zanjeer
phir bhi du dua tujhe
har khushi mile tujhe
aansu kyun aankho mein
meri bahein mere hatho me zanjeer

jaane kaisa hai sansaar
koi mujhe bata de yaar
jaane kaisa hai sansaar
koi mujhe bata de yaar
dekho bhai raha is paar
behna chali us paar
phir bhi du dua tujhe
har khushi mile tujhe
aansu kyun aankho mein
meri bahein mere hatho me zanjeer

ab dur chala tera bhai
jo tujhe diya tha pyaar
ab dur chala tera bhai
jo tujhe diya tha pyaar
ab aur nahi mil sakte
bani hathkadi deewar
phir bhi du dua tujhe
har khushi mile tujhe
aansu kyun aankho mein
meri bahein mere hatho me zanjeer
phir bhi du dua tujhe
har khushi mile tujhe
aansu kyun aankho mein
meri bahein

My arms, a chain within my own hands,
Yet still, I offer you blessings.
May joy find you in every season.
Why then, these tears in your eyes?
My arms, a chain within my own hands.

Tell me, friend, what is this world?
Someone, please, unveil its mystery.
Tell me, friend, what is this world?
Someone, please, unveil its mystery.
See, my brother stands on this shore,
While my sister sails towards that far shore.
Yet still, I offer you blessings.
May joy find you in every season.
Why then, these tears in your eyes?
My arms, a chain within my own hands.

Now far away goes your brother,
The one who offered you love's embrace.
Now far away goes your brother,
The one who offered you love's embrace.
No longer can we meet, you see,
A wall of shackles now between us.
Yet still, I offer you blessings.
May joy find you in every season.
Why then, these tears in your eyes?
My arms, a chain within my own hands.
Yet still, I offer you blessings.
May joy find you in every season.
Why then, these tears in your eyes?
My arms...
