devta mana aur pooja teri tasvir ko
devta mana aur pooja teri tasvir ko
tum na mil paye haye kya karu takdir ko
devta mana aur pooja teri tasvir ko
devta mana aur pooja teri tasvir ko

tere charno tak na pahuchi
or pyasi rah gayi
tere charno tak na pahuchi
or pyasi rah gayi
chup hui sahnaiya, man me udasi rah gayi
mit gayi sari khushi
mit gayi sari khushi, rona pada tadbir ko
devta mana aur pooja teri tasvir ko
devta mana aur pooja teri tasvir ko

agar meri doli gayi to
tere ghar par jayegi
agar meri doli gayi to
tere ghar par jayegi
kah uthi jindgani wo ghadi bhi ayegi
kaun lutega bhala
kaun lutega bhala is pyar ki jaagir ko
devta mana aur pooja teri tasvir ko
devta mana aur pooja teri tasvir ko
tum na mil paye haye kya karu takdir ko
devta mana aur pooja teri tasvir ko
devta mana aur pooja teri tasvir ko

I held your image, a sacred shrine,
I held your image, divine.
You remained distant, oh fate, what to define?
I held your image, a sacred shrine,
I held your image, divine.

My thirst, it never reached your feet,
My thirst, forever incomplete,
Silent the flutes, a soul's retreat,
All joy vanished, bittersweet.
To weep, I was forced, for a strategy in defeat.
I held your image, a sacred shrine,
I held your image, divine.

If my palanquin should depart,
If my palanquin shall restart,
To your dwelling, a journey of the heart.
Life whispered, the moment will impart,
Who dares to plunder love's art?
I held your image, a sacred shrine,
I held your image, divine.
You remained distant, oh fate, what to define?
I held your image, a sacred shrine,
I held your image, divine.
