accha chalta hun duaaon mein yaad rakhna
mere zikr ka zubaan pe swaad rakhna
accha chalta hun duaaon mein yaad rakhna
mere zikr ka zubaan pe swaad rakhna

dil ke sandukon mein, mere acche kaam rakhna
chitthi taaron mein bhi, mera tu salaam rakhna
andhera tera maine le liya
mera ujla sitaara tere naam kiya
channa mereya mereya
channa mereya mereya
channa mereya mereya beliya
o piya o piya
o piya piya piya
o piya

mehfil mein teri
hum na rahe jo gham to nahi hai
gham to nahi hai
kisse humare nazdeekiyo ke kam to nahi hai
kam to nahi hai
kitni dafa, subah ko meri
tere aangan me baithe maine sham kiya
channa mereya mereya
channa mereya mereya
channa mereya mereya beliya
o piyaa o piyaa
o piya channa mereya mereya
channa mereya mereya, o piya o piya

tere rukh se apna raasta, mod ke chala
chandan hun main, apni khushbu chhod ke chala
mann ki maaya rakh ke tere takiye tale
bairagi, bairagi ka sooti chaula, odh ke chala
channa mereya mereya
channa mereya mereya
channa mereya mereya, o piya
o piya

Farewell, I depart, yet in prayers, keep me,
Let my mention linger, a taste upon the tongue.
Farewell, I depart, yet in prayers, keep me,
Let my mention linger, a taste upon the tongue.

Within your heart's vaults, enshrine my good deeds,
In missives and stars, my greetings, hold them dear.
Your darkness, I've taken, embraced as my own,
My bright star, I dedicate, to your name alone.
Channa mereya mereya,
Channa mereya mereya,
Channa mereya mereya, beloved.
O beloved, O beloved,
O beloved, beloved, beloved,
O beloved.

Should I fade from your gatherings, no sorrow need be,
No sorrow need be.
Our tales of closeness, diminished, though, they will not be,
They will not be.
How many dawns of mine,
In your courtyard, I've turned to evening, there I've sat.
Channa mereya mereya,
Channa mereya mereya,
Channa mereya mereya, beloved.
O beloved, O beloved,
O beloved, channa mereya mereya,
Channa mereya mereya, O beloved, O beloved.

From your path, my road I now steer away,
A sandalwood, I leave my fragrance behind to stay.
My heart's illusions, beneath your pillow kept,
A hermit, I don a cotton cloak, and depart away.
Channa mereya mereya,
Channa mereya mereya,
Channa mereya mereya, O beloved.
