tu jab se gaya pardesh piya mera jiya gharbaraye re
aaja re balam tujhe meri kasam mera jiya nahi lage re
tu jab se gaya pardesh piya mera jiya gharbaraye re

chale jo hawa dil dolta mera kyu ankhiyo ko di hai saja
chale jo hawa dil dolta mera kyu ankhiyo ko di hai saja
mujhe tera intzar mera jiya bekarar
mujhe tera intzar mera jiya bekarar
karu yad bar bar bewafa ho karu yad bar bar bewafa
aaja re balam tujhe meri kasam mera jiya nahi lage re
tu jab se gaya pardesh piya mera jiya gharbaraye re

tujhe dhundta hai man mere sawre sajan
kar milne ka koi to jatan
tujhe dhundta hai man mere sawre sajan
kar milne ka koi to jatan
meri royi re jawani kahe gum ki kahani
meri royi re jawani kahe gum ki kahani
tune ek nahi mani re piya tune ek nahi mani re piya
aaja re balam tujhe meri kasam mera jiya nahi lage re
tu jab se gaya pardesh piya mera jiya gharbaraye re
tu jab se gaya pardesh piya mera jiya gharbaraye re

Since you departed, Beloved, my soul knows only unease,
A tremor in my heart, a wind that won't appease.
Return, my love, I swear it, by all that we hold dear,
My life, it cannot flourish, consumed by endless fear.
Since you departed, Beloved, my soul knows only unease.

The wind it whispers, and my heart begins to sway,
Why have my eyes been sentenced, to longing every day?
The scent of you I crave, my spirit filled with pain,
My soul, in endless yearning, whispers your name again.
I recall each broken promise, a love that turned to dust,
I recall each broken promise, in whom I placed my trust.
Return, my love, I swear it, by all that we hold dear,
My life, it cannot flourish, consumed by endless fear.
Since you departed, Beloved, my soul knows only unease.

My heart, it searches, for you, my dark-skinned one,
Craft a way for us to meet, before the setting sun.
My heart, it searches, for you, my dark-skinned one,
Craft a way for us to meet, before the setting sun.
My youth weeps, a tale of sorrow it imparts,
My youth weeps, a tale of sorrow it imparts,
You haven't listened to my pleas, Beloved, to my cries,
You haven't listened to my pleas, Beloved, to my cries.
Return, my love, I swear it, by all that we hold dear,
My life, it cannot flourish, consumed by endless fear.
Since you departed, Beloved, my soul knows only unease.
Since you departed, Beloved, my soul knows only unease.
