| tere liye hum hain jiye, har aansoo piye | I am living for you, Swallowing all my tears. |
| Roop Kumar | Roop Kumar |
| dil mein magar jalte rahe, chaahat ke diye tere liye, tere liye | But in my heart are burning, The lamps of love For you, for you |
| Lata | Lata |
| tere liye hum hain jiye, har aansoo piye | I am living for you, Swallowing all my tears. |

| Lata | Lata |
| bin poochhe mile mujhe kitne saare jawaab chaaha tha kya, paaya hai kya, humne dekhiye | I got so many answers without even asking I have seen what I wanted and what I got. |

| kya kahoon duniyaa ne kiya, mujh se kaisa bair kya kahoon duniyaa ne kiya, mujh se kaisa bair hukum tha, main jiyoon, lekin tere bagair | What do I tell you, what ill-will the world had against me What do I tell you, what ill-will the world had against me The order was that I should live, but without you. |
| Roop Kumar | Roop Kumar |
| naadaan hain wo, kehte hain jo, mere liye tum ho gair kitne sitam, humpe sanam, logon ne kiye | How ignorant are those who say that you are like a stranger to me Oh my beloved, how much injustice have people done to us |
