aise nahi jiya laage thare bina re
mere naina rat jaage thare bina re
o aise nahi jiya laage thare bina re
mere naina rat jaage thare bina re
tu mil ja mujhe o saanware
tu mil ja mujhe o saanware
o saanware saanware
aise nahi jiya laage thare bina re
aise naina rat jaage thare bina re
tu sang chale mhare saajan
to dhup laage chhanv re
o saanware o saanware
o aise nahi jiya laage thare bina re
o aise naina rat jaage thare bina re

yo jivan mharo banjar jar jar
aur inro tu pran re
aur inro tu pran re
thare bina main kaise jivla
mhare birha jaad re
mhare birha jaad re
mhare birha jaad re
mhari saansa tham jaave thare bina re
jeena maut laage thare bina re
tu mil ja mujhe o saanware
tu mil ja mujhe o saanware
o saanware o saanware
aise nahi jiya laage thare bina re
o mere naina rat jaage thare bina re

ha jaise jal bin tarse maachri
waise tarse abharo man
ishq prem saaro tha pe luatu
aa mahka du tharo yovan
aa mahka du tharo yovan
dip bujhe man ko thare bina re
kaun ise jalave thare bina re
tu sang chale mhare saajan
to dhup laage chhanv re
o saanware o saanware
o aise nahi jiya laage thare bina re
mere naina rat jaage thare bina re
aise nahi jiya laage thare bina re
mere naina rat jaage thare bina re

My soul withers, without you, I cannot live,
My eyes remain awake, without you, I grieve.
Oh, I cannot live without you, my love,
My eyes remain awake, sent from above.
Come, meet me, oh my beloved dark one,
Come, meet me, oh my beloved sun.
Oh, dark one, dark one,
My soul withers, without you, I cannot live,
My eyes remain awake, without you, I grieve.
Walk with me, my love, my companion true,
Then sunlight feels like shade, and skies of blue.
Oh, dark one, oh dark one,
My soul withers, without you, I cannot live,
My eyes remain awake, without you, I grieve.

My life, a barren land, parched and dry,
And you, the breath that lets me fly.
And you, the breath that lets me fly.
How can I live without you near,
My soul, a winter's icy tear?
My soul, a winter's icy tear.
My soul, a winter's icy tear.
My breath shall cease without you, I implore,
Living feels like death, and nothing more.
Come, meet me, oh my beloved dark one,
Come, meet me, oh my beloved sun.
Oh, dark one, oh dark one,
My soul withers, without you, I cannot live,
My eyes remain awake, without you, I grieve.

As fish crave water, thirsting in the sun,
So yearns my heart, until our two souls are one.
My love, my all, I give it all to you,
And may your youth bloom, forever true.
And may your youth bloom, forever true.
The lamp of my heart, extinguished, you see,
Who can ignite it, if not you, for me?
Walk with me, my love, my companion true,
Then sunlight feels like shade, and skies of blue.
Oh, dark one, oh dark one,
My soul withers, without you, I cannot live,
My eyes remain awake, without you, I grieve.
My soul withers, without you, I cannot live,
My eyes remain awake, without you, I grieve.
