main samjhti thi jise, dil ke kharidaro me
main samjhti thi jise, dil ke kharidaro me
ab mujhe bech raha hai, wahi bajaro me
main samjhti thi

jisko insaan samjhti thi, wo saya nikla
jisko insaan samjhti thi, wo saya nikla
haaye apna jise samjha, wo paraya nikla
kya khabar thi kya khabar thi
wo hai daulat ke talabgaro mein
ab mujhe bech raha hai, wahi bajaro me
main samjhti thi

aaj malum hua mardo ki fitrat kya hai
aaj malum hua mardo ki fitrat kya hai
ek khilona hai bas inke liye aurat kya hai
phir bhi kehte hai phir bhi kehte hai
phir bhi kehte hai aurat hai gunahgaro me
ab mujhe bech raha hai, wahi bajaro me
main samjhti thi

main samjhti thi jise dil ke kharidaro me
ab mujhe bech raha hai, wahi bajaro me
main samjhti thi

I thought I knew the buyers of hearts,
I thought I knew the buyers of hearts,
Now they sell me in the marketplace,
I thought I knew.

The one I thought was human, proved a shade,
The one I thought was human, proved a shade,
Alas, the one I claimed as mine, was strange,
Who knew, who knew,
He craves the wealth of gold,
Now they sell me in the marketplace,
I thought I knew.

Today I learned the nature of men,
Today I learned the nature of men,
A mere toy, that is what a woman is to them,
And yet they say, and yet they say,
And yet they say, that women are the sinners,
Now they sell me in the marketplace,
I thought I knew.

I thought I knew the buyers of hearts,
Now they sell me in the marketplace,
I thought I knew.
