pyaar ka badla mujhe, dekho kaisa mila
pyaar ke badale, mujhako paisa mila
pyaar ka badla mujhe, dekho kaisa mila
pyaar ke badale, mujhako paisa mila

maine samajha jise, chaand ki chaandani
wo to ek aag thi jisame ghar jal gaya
bhul thi yeh meri, kya karu abb gila
pyaar ke badale, mujhako paisa mila

maine apna lahu, de ke sincha ise
mere gulshan me ye, kaisi aayi bahar
kitane kaante khile, phul ek naa khila
pyaar ke badale, mujhko paisa mila

ek hasrat bani har tamanna meri
itani daulat bhala mere kis kaam ki
hai yahi jindagi, jindagi ka sila
pyaar ke badale, mujhko paisa mila

pyaar ka badala, mujhe dekho kaisa mila
pyaar ke badale, mujhko paisa mila

Love's exchange, observe the price I paid,
For love I found, a treasure of coin displayed.
Love's exchange, the bitter fruit I taste,
For love I sought, a fortune I embraced.

I thought her light, the moon's soft gleam,
But in her blaze, my whole world did scream.
A foolish thought, what sorrow can I claim?
Love's exchange, this cruel and burning game.

My lifeblood poured, I watered what was sown,
In gardens grand, a harvest overgrown.
Thorns bloomed wide, no flower did remain,
Love's exchange, a tempest and a pain.

Each yearning dream, a phantom it became,
What worth this wealth, this fortune's hollow name?
Is this then life, the final, bitter art?
Love's exchange, a shattering of the heart.

Love's exchange, observe the price I paid,
For love I found, a treasure of coin displayed.
