dur dekh alakapuri jahan meri priya naar
chhupi huyi sahmi thithaki si liye virah ka bhar

aa tujhe meri do ankhiya baar baar pukarti
virah me ro ro utare aansuo ki aarti

tum base paradesh pritam pran bhi sang le gaye
kya huwa aparadh jo badale me
ye dukh de gaye sukh le gaye
jag lage angar sa singar mai naa sanvarati
aa tujhe meri do akhiya baar baar pukarti

milan ki ik aas par ye din uge aur din dhale
ji rahi hu iss tarah jyon tel bin baati jale
kab tak jale
raat din gin gin ke pal pal panth panth niharti
aa tujhe meri do akhiya baar baar pukarti

Far, where my beloved dwells, a distant city gleams,
Alkapuri, veiled in shadows, burdened by love's estranged dreams.

My eyes, they call to you, again and again,
A sorrowful chorus, a tearful rain.

You, my love, have journeyed far, taking my life's core,
What sin did I commit that now this pain I must deplore?
You stole the joy, and left this grief, this world a burning pyre,
My adornments fade, I cannot now attire.
My eyes, they call to you, again and again.

On hope's frail thread, the days arise, the days descend,
I live, as a lamp without the oil, about to end.
How long can this flame endure?
Each moment lost, for you, my soul does yearn,
My eyes, they call to you, again and again.
