sachchi bate batane me kaisi sharam
hue mere balam hue mere balam
mera man hai magan mujhe ab kya hai gam
hue mere balam hue mere balam

gair unko bahut bahkate rahe
apni jhuthi adayn dikhate rahe
tod unka bharam ai mere sanam
hue mere balam hue mere balam

char din gin hi duniya me pritam rahe
unke lakho sitam ko bhi mai ne sahe
aaj rote hai vo aur hanste hai ham
hue mere balam hue mere balam
sachchi bate batane me kaisi sharam
hue mere balam hue mere balam

kabhi ankhe utha ke chalate the jo
aaj nazare jhukaye yahan baithe hai vo
unke haalat pe ata hai ham ko reham
hue mere balam hue mere balam
sachchi bate batane me kaisi sharam
hue mere balam hue mere balam

Why blush to speak the truth,
My beloved, my beloved?
My heart is alight, what sorrow now to soothe?
My beloved, my beloved.

Others, they incited him,
Flaunting false charms, dim.
Shattered their illusion, my love, my gleam.
My beloved, my beloved.

Briefly he lingered in this world's fleeting dream,
Bore his cruelties, it would seem.
Now they weep, and we beam.
My beloved, my beloved.
Why blush to speak the truth,
My beloved, my beloved?
