ho ho dilbar ho dilbar janiya
ho dilbar ho dilbar janiya
ruthne manane me na beete ye jawaniya
ho dilbar ho dilbar janiya
ruthne manane me na
ruthne manane me na beete ye jawaniya
ho ho ho dilbar

yahi din to apne hasne gane ke din hai
mohabbat ke wade nibhane ke din hai
mohabbat ke wade nibhane ke din hai
haye mai sad ke jau tere, tod na balma dil ko mere
chhod na adhuri saiya
chhod na adhuri saiya, pyar ki kahaniya
ho dilbar ho dilbar janiya
ho ho ho dilbar

bina tere jike julmi kya mai karungi
bina tere jike julmi kya mai karungi
virah k iagni me jal ke marungi
kaise katenge dil virahan ke, rat dasegi nagan banke
yaad hamko ayegi jab
yaad hamko ayegi jab teri meharbaniya
ho dilbar ho dilbar janiya
ruthne manane me na beete ye jawaniya
ho ho ho dilbar

phir bhi agar tu na mana to, ban ke raha jo begana to
khatam hua ye afsana to, kadmo me tere mar jaungi
ho rasiya mar jaungi ho
ho dilbar ho dilbar janiya
ruthne manane me na
ruthne manane me na beete ye jawaniya
ho ho ho dilbar

Oh, beloved, oh, my heart's desire,
Oh, beloved, oh, my heart's desire,
Let not youth wither in quarrels and reconcile.
Oh, beloved, oh, my heart's desire,
Oh, beloved, oh, my heart's desire,
Let not youth wither in quarrels and reconcile.
Oh, oh, beloved.

These are the days for laughter and song,
The days for love's promises to belong,
The days for love's promises to belong.
I am devoted, my love, do not break my heart,
Do not leave our story incomplete,
Do not leave our story, the tale of love's art.
Oh, beloved, oh, my heart's desire,
Oh, oh, beloved.

Without you, what cruel fate shall I embrace?
Without you, what cruel fate shall I trace?
In separation's fire, I'll wither apace.
How will the heart of the forlorn survive,
When night, a serpent, strikes to deprive?
When your tender graces, we shall revive.
Oh, beloved, oh, my heart's desire,
Let not youth wither in quarrels and reconcile.
Oh, oh, beloved.

Yet, if you refuse to yield, turn a stranger's gaze,
If this saga ends in its final phase,
At your feet, I'll surrender, in life's closing maze.
Oh, darling, I will die, oh.
Oh, beloved, oh, my heart's desire,
Let not youth wither in,
Let not youth wither in quarrels and reconcile.
Oh, oh, beloved.
