zahar deta hai mujhe koi dava deta hai
zahar deta hai mujhe koi dava deta hai
jo bhi milta hai milta hai
jo bhi milta hai mere gam ko badha deta hai
zahar deta hai mujhe koi

kisi hmdm ka sare sham juda ho jana
kisi hmdm ka sare sham juda ho jana
nind chalti hui aankho se uda deta hai
zahar deta hai mujhe koi

waqt hi dard ke kaato pe sulaye dil ko
waqt hi dard ke kaato pe sulaye dil ko
waqt hi dard ka ahsas mita deta hai
zahar deta hai mujhe koi dava deta hai
jo bhi milta hai mere gam ko badha deta hai
zahar deta hai mujhe koi

A poison offered, then a cure, they say,
A poison offered, then a cure, they say.
Whatever comes, I find,
Adds to sorrow's endless day,
A poison offered.

A friend's departure at the evening's close,
A friend's departure at the evening's close,
Snatches slumber from the eyes,
As sleep begins to doze,
A poison offered.

Time itself, on thorns of pain, does lay the heart,
Time itself, on thorns of pain, does lay the heart,
And time erases, oh, the sting,
The bitter ache, the art,
A poison offered, then a cure, they say,
Whatever comes, I find,
Adds to sorrow's endless day,
A poison offered.
