ab ke baras bhi beet na jaye
ye savan ki rate dekh le meri
ye bechaini aur likh de do bate

khat likh de savariya ke nam babu
khat likh de savariya ke nam babu
kore kagaz pe likh de salam babu
vo jaan jayenge pahachan jayenge
kaise hoti hai subha se sham babu
kaise hoti hai subha se sham babu
vo jaan jayenge pahachan jayenge
khat likh de savariya ke nam babu
kore kagaz pe likh de salam babu
vo jaan jayenge pahachan jayenge
khat likh de

sare vade nikle jhuthe
samane ho to koi unse ruthe
samane ho to koi unse ruthe
le gai bairan shahar piya ko
ram kare ki aisi naukari chhute
unhe jisne jisne banaya gulam babu
kore kagaz pe likh de salam babu
vo jaan jayenge pahachan jayenge
khat likh de likh de na

jab ayenge sajna mere
khan khan khankenge kangna mere
khan khan khankenge kangna mere
pas gali me ghar hai mera
us din tu bhi ana angana mere
kuch tujhko tujhko mai dungi inam babu
kore kagaz pe likh de salam babu
vo jaan jayenge pahachan jayenge
khat likh de

aur bahut kuch hai likhvana
kaise bata dun tujhe tu begana
kaise bata dun tujhe tu begana
sharm se ankhe jhuk jaayengi
dhadak uthega mera dil divana
bas aage aage nahi tera kaam babu
kore kagaz pe likh de salam babu
vo jaan jayenge pahachan jayenge
kaise hoti hai subha se sham babu
kaise hoti hai subha se sham babu
vo jaan jayenge pahachan jayenge
khat likh de

Another year may slip away,
These monsoon nights, observe my plea.
My restlessness, two lines to say.

Write a letter to the Beloved, dear one,
Write a letter to the Beloved, dear one,
On blank paper, write a greeting's sun.
They will know, they will recognize,
How the day turns to evening's run.
How the day turns to evening's run.
They will know, they will recognize,
Write a letter to the Beloved, dear one,
On blank paper, write a greeting's sun.
They will know, they will recognize,
Write a letter.

All promises, false they proved,
If they were here, by them, I'd be moved.
If they were here, by them, I'd be moved.
They took my love to a city so cold,
May the heavens see his job removed.
Those who made him a slave, dear one,
On blank paper, write a greeting's sun.
They will know, they will recognize,
Write a letter, write it now.

When my beloved returns to me,
My bangles will jingle with glee.
My bangles will jingle with glee.
My house is near, in the lane you see,
Come to my courtyard, that day, with me.
I'll give you a gift, a prize, dear one,
On blank paper, write a greeting's sun.
They will know, they will recognize,
Write a letter.

So much more I wish to impart,
How to tell you, a stranger at heart?
How to tell you, a stranger at heart?
Shame will make my eyes descend,
My mad heart will wildly start.
This task is not yours, be done, dear one,
On blank paper, write a greeting's sun.
They will know, they will recognize,
How the day turns to evening's run.
How the day turns to evening's run.
They will know, they will recognize,
Write a letter.
