chāhat ke badle meñ ham bech deñ apnī marzī tak

koī mile to dil gāhak koī hameñ apnā.e to

in exchange for love I'd trade my freedom I confess

if a buyer could be found who would my heart possess

chahat ke badle mein hum bech den apni marzi tak

koi mile to dil ka gahak koi hamein apnae to

in exchange for love I'd trade my freedom I confess

if a buyer could be found who would my heart possess
