aaja aaja aaja aaja mere mohan pyare
tute dil ki aas pukare aaja aaja mere mohan pyare
kajal roye mehandi roye roye ek ek gahna
kajal roye mehandi roye roye ek ek gahna
koi na ulte laz ka ghunghat
tu naino me rahna rahna aaja
aaja mere mohan pyare

meri diwali aaj andheri mai jalti jau holi
meri diwali aaj andheri mai jalti jau holi
manjil par hi lut na jaye tere pyar ki roli doli
aaja aaja mere mohan pyare

aana hi hoga aana hi hoga ore chhipne wale
aana hi hoga aana hi hoga ore chhipne wale
jamuna bankar bah jayenge mere dil ke chale chale
jamuna bankar bah jayenge mere dil ke chale chale
aaja aaja mere mohan pyare
tute dil ki aas pukare aaja aaja aaja

Come, come, come, O my beloved Mohan,
Broken heart's hope calls, come, my love, come.
Kajal weeps, henna weeps, each jewel mourns,
Kajal weeps, henna weeps, each jewel mourns,
None to lift the veil of shame,
You, within my eyes, remain, remain, today,
Come, my Mohan, come.

My Diwali is dark today, I burn like Holi,
My Diwali is dark today, I burn like Holi,
Lest the colors of your love be plundered at the journey's end,
Come, my Mohan, come.

You must come, you must come, O you who hide,
You must come, you must come, O you who hide,
I will flow as the Yamuna, my heart's blisters will flow,
I will flow as the Yamuna, my heart's blisters will flow,
Come, my Mohan, come,
Broken heart's hope calls, come, come, come.
