shikayat hai shikayat hai shikayat hai
mujhko dil se yahi shikayat hai
mujhko dil se yahi shikayat hai
jo usako mil nahi sakta jo usako mil nahi sakta
kyu usaki chaahat haimujhko dil se yahi shikayat hai shikayat hai

tukdo tukdo me mujhase roj milane wale sun
jab mukammal nahi milna toh koyi khwaab na bun
tanha tanha hu me mujhe teri jarurat hai
mujhko dil se yahi shikayat hai shikayat hai

yeh teri julfe teri aankhe uff yeh teraa pair hai
aur khushbu se mehkata huwa yeh gora sa badan
janata hu me lekin kisi gair ki amanat hai
mujhko dil se yahi shikayat hai shikayat hai

bin tere mujhko jindagi se khauff lagta hai
kishto kishto me mar raha hu roj lagta hai
iss liye mujhko apni jindagi se nafrat hai
mujhko dil se yahi shikayat hai shikayat hai
shikayat hai shikayat hai shikayat hai

A lament, a constant, echoing plea,
My heart's own sorrow, it cries to me.
A yearning deep, a love that cannot be,
Why this desire, this agony?

Fragments of moments, you visit my soul,
Knowing the whole, we can never control.
Don't weave the dreams, if the end's not complete,
Alone I am, and your presence I greet.

Your tresses flow, your eyes, a burning fire,
Your scent, a perfume, setting my soul afire.
I know the truth, you belong to another's claim,
My heart's own sorrow, a flickering flame.

Without you, life casts a fearful shade,
In pieces I die, each day betrayed.
And so, I hate this life, this bitter art,
My heart's own sorrow, tears it apart.
A lament, a constant, echoing plea...
