tere naina kyo bhar aaye
tere naina kyo bhar aaye
tere naina kyo bhar aaye
wo hai sabka rakhvala
tu kahe ko ghabraye
tere naina kyo bhar aaye
tere naina kyo bhar aaye

ye aansu aur ye dukh
sare le ja prabhu ke dware
le ja prabhu ke dware
wo hi tuti aas bandhaye
bigade kaj sanvare
bigade kaj sanvare
dwar se uske koyi khali
hath naa vapas jaye
tere naina kyo bhar aaye
tere naina kyo bhar aaye

jeevan ki yeh dhup chhanv
sab hai khel tamasha
sab hai khel tamasha
mann se aankh michauli
khele aasha aur nirasha
khele aasha aur nirasha
aaj hai dukh to kal sukh
hoga kahe nir bahaye
tere naina kyo bhar aaye
tere naina kyo bhar aaye
tere naina kyo bhar aaye.

Why do your eyes well up,
Why do your eyes well up?
He, the guardian of all,
Why tremble, why sigh?
Why do your eyes well up?
Why do your eyes well up?

These tears, this sorrow,
Carry them to His gate,
Carry them to His gate.
He mends broken hopes,
He rights what’s gone awry,
He rights what’s gone awry.
From His door, none leave
With empty hands, dismayed,
Why do your eyes well up?
Why do your eyes well up?

Life’s sun and shadow,
A fleeting, fading play,
A fleeting, fading play.
Hope and despair,
Play hide-and-seek with the mind,
Play hide-and-seek with the mind.
If sorrow is now,
Tomorrow joy will bloom,
Why weep, why let tears fall?
Why do your eyes well up?
Why do your eyes well up?
Why do your eyes well up?
