akhiyan mila ke akhiyan
akhiyan mila ke akhiyan royen din ratiyan
hoy na bhuulen batiyan bhuulen na suratiya ho tohar
akhiyan mila ke akhiyan royen din ratiyan
hoy na bhuulen batiyan bhuulen na suratiya ho tohar

kiya tha bharosa tum pe, tumhin ne bhulaya mujhako
kiya tha bharosa tum pe, tumhin ne bhulaya mujhako
tumhin ne hansaya piya tumhin ne rulaya mujhako
o tumhin ne hansaya piya tumhin ne rulaya mujhako
tohare hi katir sajana tohare hi katir sajana
hui main banwariya
ho sanwariya more nirakhuun dagariya main tohar

pi pi pi pukaruun ro ro
rahiya niharuun piya rahiya niharuun piya
hari samajha samajha ke man na manaye jiya
o man na manaye jiya
dil me sama ke balama dil me sama ke balama
jiya bharama ke
ho bana ke apana chhatiya pe mare wo katar

duniya mitane thi to duniya basai kyuun thi
duniya mitane thi to duniya basai kyuun thi
nadiya kinare akhiyan hamase milain kyuun thi
o nadiya kinare akhiyan hamase milain kyuun thi
kachhu na suhave mohe kachhu na suhave mohe
chain nahin ave
o bulave tohe akhiyan bahaven jal ki dhar

Eyes meet eyes,
Eyes meet eyes, weeping through day and night.
Never forgetting, forgetting not your form,
Eyes meet eyes, weeping through day and night.
Never forgetting, forgetting not your form.

I placed my trust in you, you alone forgot me,
I placed my trust in you, you alone forgot me.
You made me laugh, Beloved, you made me weep,
Oh, you made me laugh, Beloved, you made me weep.
For you alone, my love, for you alone,
I became a madwoman,
Oh, my love, I gaze upon your path.

Calling out, calling out, weeping,
Watching the road, Beloved, watching the road,
Weary, I try to reason, the heart won't relent,
Oh, the heart won't relent.
Having entered my heart, Beloved, having entered my heart,
You deceived my soul,
Oh, making me yours, then stabbing my chest with a dagger.

If you intended to destroy the world, why did you build it?
If you intended to destroy the world, why did you build it?
On the riverbank, why did you meet my eyes?
Oh, on the riverbank, why did you meet my eyes?
Nothing pleases me, nothing pleases me,
No peace arrives.
Oh, my eyes call for you, flowing in a river of tears.
