dekhun kab tak baat
dekhun kab tak baat piyarawaa dekhun baat tumhaar
patharaa_i akhiyaan
patharaa_i akhiyaan dekhat dhundhat
ekahu din more ghar naa aavat
khaali baat nihaar piyarawaa dekhun baat tumhaar

jiyaa tadapat hai jiyaa dhadakat hai -2
daras ko tore lalachaataa man hai
haan
jiwan ke aadhaar piyarawaa dekhun baat tumhaar

saagar uthati dur tarage -2
tairun kahaan se bhaari umage
byaakul mai is paar piyarawaa dekhun baat tumhaar

bhent hamaari ab kab hogi -2
prit ki joti mil ke jalegi
dube sab sasaar jagat me dube sab sasaar

dekhun tab tak baat piyarawaa dekhun tab tak baat -2
dekhun tab tak baat

How long must I wait,
Beloved, how long?
My eyes, they turn to stone,
Searching, seeking,
Never a day you visit my home.
Empty the path I gaze, Beloved,
waiting for you.

My heart it aches, my heart it beats -
Longing for your face, my soul entreats.
Yes, the very anchor of my life,
Beloved, I await.

Across the ocean, waves arise,
Where can I swim, burdened by sighs?
Restless, I yearn on this shore,
Beloved, I await.

When will our meeting be?
When will the flame of love ignite?
The world submerged in sorrow's night.

How long must I wait, Beloved?
How long?
How long must I wait?
