badi dur se aayi hu main tera dil behlaane
main to teri ho chuki koi maane naa maane
badi dur se aayi hu main tera dil behlaane
main to teri ho chuki koi maane naa maane
badi dur se aayi hu

dildaar ho gaya tu jab thak ke so gaya tu
dildaar ho gaya tu jab thak ke so gaya tu
behosh mere sapno me kho gaya tu
main chori se aakar baithi tere sihrane
main to teri ho chuki koi maane naa maane
badi dur se aayi hu

har raat chaandni hai ab har ghadi khushi hai
har raat chaandni hai ab har ghadi khushi hai
hum tum mile hai jabse duniya nayi basi hai
shabnam phulo se kahti hai mere tere afsaane
main to teri ho chuki koi maane naa maane
badi dur se aayi hu main tera dil behlaane
main to teri ho chuki koi maane naa maane
badi dur se aayi hu

From a distance I have journeyed, to soothe your weary heart,
Though bound to you completely, whether the world plays its part.
From a distance I have journeyed.

My love, when slumber claimed you, your spirit at rest did lie,
Lost in dreams, unconscious, where only our souls could fly.
I came in secret, beside you, your presence was my art,
Though bound to you completely, whether the world plays its part.
From a distance I have journeyed.

Each night now bathed in moonlight, each moment joy unfurls,
Since our two souls united, a new world now unfurls.
The dewdrop whispers secrets, of us, to blooming flowers' start,
Though bound to you completely, whether the world plays its part.
From a distance I have journeyed, to soothe your weary heart,
Though bound to you completely, whether the world plays its part.
From a distance I have journeyed.
