ae dil mere udhas na ho
geet gaaye ja gaaye ja
aayega ab khushi ka jammana
ab aayega aayega
ae dil mere udhas na ho
geet gaaye ja gaaye ja
murjha gayi hai gam se ye umeed ki kali
jab tu hasega saath degi
hasayega hasayega
aayega ab khushi ka jammana
ab aayega aayega

ja ja ke thak gayi hai nigaahe teri jahan
ja ja ke thak gayi hai nigaahe teri jahan
ummid ka wahi pe diya
jagmagayega jamana aayega
ae dil mere udhas na ho
geet gaaye ja gaaye ja

kiske sahare hamko yahan chhod ke chale
ab kaun hai jo naaj humare uthayega uthayega
aayga ab khushi ka jamana
ab aayega aayega

My heart, do not despair,
Sing on, sing on, and share.
The age of joy will dawn,
It will come, it will come.
My heart, do not despair,
Sing on, sing on, and share.

The bud of hope, with grief now spent,
Will bloom again, if you relent.
You will laugh, and laughter will rise,
It will make you laugh, it will make you laugh.
The age of joy will dawn,
It will come, it will come.

Your gaze has wearied, searching far,
Your gaze has wearied, searching far.
Where sleep's soft lamp begins to gleam,
The world will brighten, it will gleam.
My heart, do not despair,
Sing on, sing on, and share.

Who will we cling to, left behind?
Who will now lift our spirits kind?
They will lift them high, they will lift them high.
The age of joy will dawn,
It will come, it will come.
