na de iljaam dil unko
na kar shikwa jamane se
mohabbat kam nahi hoti
kabhi bhi aajmaane se
na de iljaam dil unko

thahar jaao mere ashko na bahar aankh ke aana
thahar jaao mere ashko na bahar aankh ke aana
milega kya meri halat pe
duniya ko hansane se
na de iljaam

badi bedard duniya hai kisi ke gam ko kya jane
badi bedard duniya hai kisi ke gam ko kya jane
maje le le ke hansti hai
khush hoti hai rulaane se
na de iljaam

jara se dil ke goshe me hajaro gam tadapte hai
jara se dil ke goshe me hajaro gam tadapte hai
jara se khun ke katre ko
shikayat hai jamane se
na de iljaam dil unko
na kar shikwa jamane se
na de iljaam

Do not fault their hearts,
Nor lament the world's ways.
Love's measure knows no lessening,
Though trials dim the days.
Do not fault their hearts.

Stay, my tears, within,
Do not spill forth from the eye.
What gain in showing the world
My plight, for them to cry?
Do not fault their hearts.

A heartless world it is, oblivious
To another's grief, unaware.
It feasts on sorrow, finds delight
In mocking, leaving one in despair.
Do not fault their hearts.

In the small alcove of the heart,
A thousand sorrows reside.
This droplet of blood finds fault,
With the world's harsh stride.
Do not fault their hearts,
Nor lament the world's ways.
Do not fault their hearts.
