teri kasam o dilruba
dil deke, lele dil mera
jine ki sikh le ada
o duniya hai kya ye bhul ja
teri kasam o dilruba
apne bado ne ye kaha
jisne kisi ko dil diya
wo marne se pahle mar gaya
teri kasam o dilruba
apne bado ne ye kaha

duniya hai pyar se hasin
ho tujhko ye hosh hi nahi
sab kuch tu jan jayega
aankho se aankhe to mila
teri kasam o dilruba
dil deke, lele dil mera

teri ye baat jo sune
o tare wo raat bhar gine
aisa ye rog hai bura ho ho
jiski nahi koi dawa
teri kasam o dilruba
apne bado ne ye kaha

By your vow, O heart's delight,
Give your heart, and take mine in sight.
Learn the art of how to live,
Forget the world, its fleeting give.
By your vow, O heart's desire,
Elders whispered, set afire:
He who gives his heart away,
Dies before his dying day.
By your vow, O heart's allure,
Elders whispered, pure and sure.

The world is lovely, built on love,
Of this, awareness you don't have.
You'll know all when you understand,
Gaze into eyes, hand in hand.
By your vow, O heart's delight,
Give your heart, and take mine's light.

When these words their ears do greet,
Stars will be counted, bittersweet.
A bitter sickness, hard to mend,
For which no medicine can extend.
By your vow, O heart's desire,
Elders whispered, set afire.
