aabad rahe tera ghar munshi
khat likh sajan ke naam
pardesh me jane wale piya
nahi tere bina aaraam
kare kya bata o bhula dene wale
kare kya bata o bhula dene wale
hame apna kah kar mita dene wale
kare kya bata o bhula dene wale
kare kya bata

hai ro ro ke lut jana
kismat hamari, kismat hamari
tujhe kya kahe o bhula dene wale
tujhe kya kahe o bhula dene wale
hame apna kah kar mita dene wale
kare kya bata o bhula dene wale
kare kya bata

bhula kar to aa jao
mita kar to aa jao
mita kar to aa jao
tujhe dhundte hai dua dene wale

May your home flourish, scribe,
Write a letter to your love's name.
My love, departed for distant lands,
Finds no solace without your claim.

What can be done, o one who forgets?
What can be done, o one who forgets?
You claimed us, then erased us,
What can be done, o one who forgets?
What can be done?

To weep, to be ruined,
Such is our fate, our fate.
What can we say, o one who forgets?
What can we say, o one who forgets?
You claimed us, then erased us,
What can be done, o one who forgets?
What can be done?

Forget us and return,
Erase us, and return,
Erase us, and return.
We search for you, praying for your return.
