ab na been baja ab na been baja
ab na been baja snehi
tut gaye arman pyar ke
tut gaye arman pyar ke
geet na ga tu bahar ke
geet na ga tu bahar ke
apne man ki pukar panchhi
apne man ki pukar panchhi
hamko ab na suna
ab na been baja ab na been baja

kaisi kismat ki nithurai
kaisi kismat ki nithurai
deepak apna jyot parayi
deepak apna jyot parayi
is jalne se is jalne se bujhna acha
dil ko apne bujha ab na been baja
ab na been baja ab na been baja snehi
tut gaye arman pyar ke geet na ga tu bahar ke
apne man ki pukar panchhi hamko ab na suna
ab na been baja ab na been baja

No more play the reed, no more,
Beloved, cease your playing now.
The heart's desires, they are shattered,
The heart's desires, they are shattered,
Sing no more songs of springtime,
Sing no more songs of springtime.
Listen, bird, to your own heart's call,
Listen, bird, to your own heart's call,
Do not sing to us at all.
No more play the reed, no more.

How cruel is fate's cold hand,
How cruel is fate's cold hand,
Our lamp, a light now foreign,
Our lamp, a light now foreign.
Better to be extinguished,
Better to be extinguished,
Than to burn with this fire.
Quench your heart's flame now, no more play the reed.
No more play the reed, no more, beloved.
The heart's desires are shattered,
Sing no more songs of springtime.
Listen, bird, to your own heart's call,
Do not sing to us at all.
No more play the reed, no more.
