baba mera chhut gaye
rain hui nahi aaye
rain hui nahi aaye
shamo sahar aatho pahar
shamo sahar aatho pahar
baithi hu aas lagaye
rain hui nahi aaye
rain hui nahi aaye

suraj dariya se mil jaye
suraj dariya se mil jaye
apna basera duniya paye
apna basera duniya paye
mere baba kyu nahi aaye
shamo sahar aato pahar
baithi hu aas lagaye
rain hui nahi aaye
rain hui nahi aaye

kisko nasihat yad aati hai
kisko nasihat yad aati hai
khwab ki chahat tadpati hai
khun ke aasu rulati hai
khun ke aasu rulati hai
shamo sahar aatho pahar
baithi hu aas lagaye
rain hui nahi aaye
rain hui nahi aaye
nahi aaye nahi aaye nahi aaye
nahi aaye

My father's gone, I am bereft,
The night has fallen, he's not left,
He's not left.
Through dawn and dusk, the hours bleed,
Through dawn and dusk, my vigil I feed,
Awaiting hope's seed.
He's not left.
He's not left.

The sun finds ocean's deep embrace,
The sun finds home in time and space,
The world finds rest in its own place,
The world finds rest in its own place,
Why does my father not return?
Through dawn and dusk, the hours burn,
Awaiting hope's turn,
He's not left.
He's not left.

Whose wisdom now does memory call?
Whose wisdom now enthralls?
Desire's dream, a burning thrall,
Tears of blood begin to fall,
Tears of blood begin to fall.
Through dawn and dusk, the hours crawl,
Awaiting hope's thrall.
He's not left.
He's not left.
Not returned, not returned, not returned,
Not returned.
