Saigal Blues

duniya mein pyaar jab barse
na jaane dil ye kyon tarse

when love rains in the world,
don't know why this heart suffers (longs)..

is dil ko kaise samjhaun
pagal ko kaise main manaun
naadani aaj tum karte
bandish mein hum hi kyun bharte

how do I explain to this heart,
how do I placate the idiot
you are doing a folly today
why only I suffer in this loneliness

is dard ki na hai dawai
majnu hai ya hai tu kasai

there is no cure to this pain
are you a lover or a butcher

jebon mein lakh guldaste
kyon ek phool pe atke

you have lacs of bouquets in your pocket
why are you stuck on just one flower?
