ab kis nagari jau re
ab kis nagari jau re
ab kis nagari jau re
ab kis nagari jau re

jo pal bita jo pal bita
aa aa jo bita kabhi hath aaye na
ruk kar jo bi soch me duba
raste me hi rah jayega
main kyun der lagau re
ab kis nagayi jau re

chalte chalte dhalte dhalte
suraj aakhir so jayega
suraj suraj aakhir so jayega
rasta aankhe malte malte
rasta aankhe malte malte
aandiyare me kho jayega
kisko hal sunau re
ab kis nagari jau re

manjil apne pas bulaye
manjil fir bhi pas na aaye
bechara dukhiyara rahi
gaye maut ke gaane gaye
tu gaye kya gau re
ab kis nagari jau re
ab kis nagari jau re
ab kis nagari jau re
ab kis nagari jau re

To what city now shall I depart,
To what city now shall I depart,
To what city now shall I depart,
To what city now shall I depart?

The moments spent, the moments spent,
Ah, those gone by, never to return.
Lost in thought, pausing in wait,
On the road itself, you will remain.
Why this delay, why linger here?
To what city now shall I depart?

As we walk, as we descend,
The sun at last will fall asleep.
The sun, the sun, at last will sleep,
The path, the path, with eyes that rub,
The path, the path, with eyes that rub,
Will vanish in the dark, so deep.
To whom shall I tell my tale of woe?
To what city now shall I depart?

The destination calls us near,
Yet still, it does not draw so close.
The poor, the sorrowing traveler,
Sings the songs of death's embrace.
What songs to sing, what will I say?
To what city now shall I depart?
To what city now shall I depart?
To what city now shall I depart?
To what city now shall I depart?
