vo ik qatraa aaNkhoN se
na jaane kab bɛhnaa hai ,
vo badlegaa taqdiir
vo meraa bhii to xudaa hai
That one drop from (your) eyes
who knows when it must flow
He will alter (my) destiny
so he is my God as well.
vo Haq meraa hai magar
maiN ise na rok paauuN
jo meraa ho ke bhii
huaa mujh se bhii judaa hai
He is rightly mine
but I can't stop him
He who belongs to me
became separated from me as well
Gam-zadaa Gam-zadaa ye dil
dard sɛhnaa baRaa mushkil [ x2 ]
This heart is afflicted, afflicted
Suffering great pain is hard [x2]
ye aaNsuu aaNsuu nahiiN haiN
ye dard mere bɛhte haiN
magar ye duaa hai merii
xush rahe duniyaa terii
These tears are not tears,
they are my pains flowing
However, this is my prayer:
that your world remains happy
maiN Gam tujh ko hii sunaauuN
tuu hii hai sunne vaalaa
magar ye davaa hai merii
xush rahe duniyaa terii
[ both lines x2 ]
I shall narrate (my) sorrow to you only
Only you are the one to whom narrate
However, this is my cure:
your world remaining happy
[both lines x2]
jiyaa , na jiyaa , na aise jiyaa jaae
paae , na paae , na dil chain paae
rulaae , rulaae , mujhe zindagii rulaae
[ all stanza x2 ]
Life, life can't go on like this
(My) heart doesn't get peace
Life makes (me) cry and cry
[all stanza x2]
joRte haiN kis taraH
TuuTe dil ke TukRe
saayaa bhii na saath mere
xud se aise bichhRe
Which way are cemented together
the broken pieces of (my) heart?
My own shadow is not by my side,
as if being estranged from me.
sajde kiye haiN maiN ne
shukr kiyaa hai
teraa mere saath honaa
sabar meraa hai
I have prostrated in adoration
and have thanked God
Our being together
is my forbearance
chhoRiiN na tuu saath meraa
toRiiN na tuu man meraa
zindagii akelii meN
tuu hii aasmaan meraa [ x2 ]
Don't you leave my side!
Don't you break my heart!
In a lonely life
only you were my heaven [x2]
Gam-zadaa Gam-zadaa ye dil
dard sɛhnaa baRaa mushkil
This heart is afflicted, afflicted
Suffering great pain is hard
ye aaNsuu aaNsuu nahiiN haiN
ye dard mere bɛhte haiN
magar ye davaa hai merii
xush rahe duniyaa terii
These tears are not tears,
they are my pains flowing
However, this is my cure:
your world remaining happy
maiN Gam tujh ko hii sunaauuN
tuu hii hai sunne vaalaa
magar ye davaa hai merii
xush rahe duniyaa terii

Life can't, life can't go on like this
(My) heart doesn't get peace
It makes (me) cry and cry
