Ham tere pyaar mè saaraa aalam, kho baithhe hai kho baithhe
Tum kahate ho ke aise, pyaar ko bhool jaao bhool jaao
Hum tere pyaar mè saaraa aalam
Panchhee se chhuṛaakar us kaa, ghar tum apne ghar par le aaye
Ye pyaar kaa pinjaraa man bhaayaa, ham ji bhar bhar kar musakaaye
Jab pyaar huaa is pinjaṛe se, tum kahane lage aazaad raho
Hum kaise bhulaaye pyaar teraa, tum apnee jubaan se ye naa kaho
Ab tum saa jahàà mè koee nahèè, hai hum to tumhaare ho baithhe
Tum kahate ho ke aise, pyaar ko bhool jaao bhool jaao
Is teree charan ki dhool se humne apnee jeewan maang bharee
Jab hee to suhaagan kahalaayee, duniya kee najar mè pyaar banee
Tum pyaar kee sundar moorat ho, aur pyaar hamaaree poojaa hai
Ab in charaṇò mè dam nikale, bas itani aur tamannaa hai
Hum pyaar ke gangaajal se balam ji tan-man apnaa dho baiṭhe
Tum kahate ho ke aise, pyaar ko bhool jaao bhool jaao
Sapno kaa darpan dekhaa tha, sapno kaa darpan toṛ diyaa
Ye pyaar kaa aanchal humne to, daaman se tumhaare baandh liyaa
Ye aisee gaanṭh hài ulfat kee, jis ko naa koi bhee khol sakaa
Tum aan base jab is dil me, dil phir to kahee naa dol saka
O pyaar ke saagar ham teree, laharò mè naav dubo baithhe
Tum kahate ho ke aise, pyaar ko bhool jaao bhool jaao
I have lost the entire world by loving you. Yet, you tell me to forget this love.
You brought a caged bird to your own house. This cage of love pleased me, and I smiled to my heart’s content. When I fell in love with this cage, you told me to remain free. But how can I forget this love? Please don’t tell me this in your own words. No one else like you exists in this world, and I will remain yours forever. Yet, you tell me to forget this love.
From the dust at your feet, I have marked the parting of my hair. When I considered myself a married woman, the world witnessed the creation of love. You are a beautiful idol of love, and love is my form of worship. I have one lasting desire: to die at your feet. My beloved, I have cleansed my body and soul with water from the Ganges of love. Yet, you tell me.
I saw a mirror of dreams, and then I shattered it. I tied the end of this sari of love to the tail of your shirt. This knot of romance is tied so tightly that no one can untie it. Since you began to reside in my heart, it has been unable to frolic elsewhere. Oh, the ocean of love! I have drowned a boat in your waves. Yet, you tell me to forget this love.
