What is love? Who knows this?
What this love is, everyone knows
This city of love (has) unknown paths
(My) lover's house, who knows where it is
Life is kind of short and the journey is long
What is love? Who knows this?
Is it the pain itself or the pains' cure?
Is this some lover or God himself?
God himself …
عِشْق بِنا کْیا مرنا یارا
عِشْق بِنا کْیا جِینا
تُم نے عِشْق کا نام سنا ہے
ہَم نے عِشْق کِیا ہے
What is dying, friend, without love?
What is living, without love?
You've heard the name of love
I've fallen in love

A flower garden / love, love
A skirt of thorns / love
