dar dar khoje tumko balam
mere naina bawre
kaha chhupe ho kaha gaye ho
mere sajan sawre
mere sajan sawre, dar dar khoje

nache meri sakhi saheli
nache parak mala
nache meri sakhi saheli
nache parak mala
nache parak mala
mai dukhiyari naav chalau
dil me jalti jwala
haye dil me jalti jwala
tan man ko jhulsaye bedardi
ye tera bartav re
ye tera bartav re, dar dar khoje
dar dar khoje tumko balam
mere naina bawre
kaha chupe ho kaha gaye ho
mere sajan sawre
mere sajan sawre, dar dar khoje

char dino ki chandai ke
bad andheri rat kyu
bad andheri rat kyu
char dino ki chandai ke
bad andheri rat kyu
bad andheri rat kyu
o din ko hasane wale
bhar gaye aankho me barsat kyu
haay aankho me barsat kyu
mera pyar milega kaise
dhunde gaav gaav re
dhunde gaav gaav re, dar dar khoje

aasman bhi ro padta hai
aasman bhi ro padta hai
sunkar mera rona
sunkar mera rona
chhaan liya hai is dharti par
maine kona kona
aasman bhi ro padta hai
sunkar mera rona
sunkar mera rona
chhaan liya hai is dharti par
maine kona kona
dil ka sapna nahi janta
thak gaye mere paav re
thak gaye mere paav re, dar dar khoje
dar dar khoje tumko balam
mere naina bawre
kaha chupe ho kaha gaye ho
mere sajan sawre
mere sajan sawre, dar dar khoje

From door to door, I seek thee, love,
My eyes, bewildered, roam.
Where do you hide, where did you go,
My dark-hued, cherished home?
My dark-hued, cherished home, from door to door.

My friends and sisters dance and sway,
Garlands of joy they wear.
My friends and sisters dance and sway,
Garlands of joy they wear,
Garlands of joy they wear.
But I, a boat of sorrow, steer,
With burning flames to bear,
Oh, with burning flames to bear.
This cruel behavior, it consumes,
My body and my soul's despair.
This cruel behavior, it consumes,
From door to door, I seek thee.

My eyes, bewildered, roam.
Where do you hide, where did you go,
My dark-hued, cherished home?
My dark-hued, cherished home, from door to door.

After the moonlit days of glee,
Why must the darkness fall?
Why must the darkness fall?
After the moonlit days of glee,
Why must the darkness call?
Why must the darkness call?
You who made laughter fill my day,
Why tears now flood my all?
Oh, tears now flood my all.
How can I find my love again,
Searching every village, small?
Searching every village, small, from door to door.

The heavens weep in sympathy,
Hearing my mournful cry.
Hearing my mournful cry.
I've searched this earth, each hidden space,
Each corner, I did try.
The heavens weep in sympathy,
Hearing my mournful cry,
Hearing my mournful cry.
I've searched this earth, each hidden space,
Each corner, I did try.
My heart's dream, it knows no rest,
My weary feet must die,
My weary feet must die, from door to door.
From door to door, I seek thee, love,
My eyes, bewildered, roam.
Where do you hide, where did you go,
My dark-hued, cherished home?
My dark-hued, cherished home, from door to door.
