kon hai aur kaha hai ye na tu jan sake
meri aawaz se pehchan jo pehchan sake
ae mere chaman mai hu wo kali
ae mere chaman mai hu wo kali jo khiza me tujhse bichhad gayi
kisi badnasib ki baat hu
kisi badnasib ki baat hu jo bani to banke bigad gayi
ae mere chaman mai hu wo kali

meri hasrato ne garur se tujhe aaj dekha jo dur se
meri hasrato ne garur se tujhe aaj dekha jo dur se
hai kasam teri meri jaan me
hai kasam teri meri jaan me nayi ek jaan si pad gayi
ae mere chaman mai hu wo kali

zara dekh le mujhe ek nazar tujhe kya khabar mere bekhabar
zara dekh le mujhe ek nazar tujhe kya khabar mere bekhabar
meri zindagi ki bahar to
meri zindagi ki bahar to teri aarzu mai ujad gayi
ae mere chaman mai hu wo kali jo khiza me tujhse bichhad gayi
kisi badnasib ki baat hu
kisi badnasib ki baat hu jo bani to banke bigad gayi
ae mere chaman mai hu wo kali

Who I am, where I am, you'll never truly know,
But in my voice, a recognition will surely grow.
Oh, my garden, I am that bud,
Oh, my garden, I am that bud, lost to autumn's cruel flood,
A tale of fate's despair I am,
A lament born, then left to be undone,
Oh, my garden, I am that bud.

My desires, with pride, beheld you from afar,
My desires, with pride, beheld you from afar,
By your grace, I swear to you,
By your grace, my very soul, a new breath is begun,
Oh, my garden, I am that bud.

Just glance at me, a moment's gaze, you heedless one,
Just glance at me, a moment's gaze, you heedless one,
My life's spring, I tell you,
My life's spring, in your longing, has been lost and gone,
Oh, my garden, I am that bud, lost to autumn's cruel flood,
A tale of fate's despair I am,
A lament born, then left to be undone,
Oh, my garden, I am that bud.
