na de ilzaam, dil unko
na kar shiqava zamaane se
mohabbat kam nahin hoti
kabhi bhi aazmaane se
na de ilzaam

thahar jaao mere ashko
na baahar aankh ke aana
thahar jaao mere ashko
na baahar aankh ke aana
milega kya meri haalat pe duniya ko hansaane se
na de ilzaam

badi bedard duniya hai
kisi ke gam ko kya jaane
badi bedard duniya hai
kisi ke gam ko kya jaane
maze le-le ke hansti hai khush hoti hai rulaane se
na de ilzaam

Do not cast blame on their heart,
Nor lodge complaint with the world's harsh hand.
Love's essence does not diminish,
Though tested by time's shifting sand.
Do not cast blame.

Wait, my tears, linger within,
Do not spill forth from their hidden glen.
What gain is there in this suffering,
To make the world laugh and then?
Do not cast blame.

This world is cruel, unfeeling,
Unaware of another's pain.
It feasts on the ache of sorrow,
Finds joy in tears, a cruel refrain.
Do not cast blame.
