ho man re ho man re mai jag me aaj paraya
mai jag me aaj paraya
man re mohe apna ghar pardesh lage
mohe apna ghar pardesh lage mai jag me aaj paraya
mai jag me aaj paraya ho man re

bichda jiwan bhar ka sath chut gaya bachpan ka sath
chhod gayi mamta ki chaw log kahenge mujhe anath
chahu dish andhiya chaya
man re mai jag me aaj paraya
mai jag me aaj paraya ho man re

wo phulwari wo ghar dwar wo sukh sapno ka sansar
bikhar gaye wo sare khel bichadi ganga jamuna dhar
maine sab kuch aaj gawaya
maine sab kuch aaj gawaya
man re mai jag me aaj paraya
mai jag me aaj paraya ho man re

Oh, my heart, oh, my heart, a stranger I roam,
A stranger I am in this world, far from home.
My own abode feels a desolate land,
My own abode, a desert of shifting sand.
A stranger I am in this world, a wanderer lost,
Oh, my heart...

The bonds of a lifetime, severed and torn,
The childhood companions, forever forlorn.
The shade of affection, now vanished and gone,
They'll call me an orphan, utterly alone.
Darkness descends from every side,
Oh, my heart, a stranger I must hide.
A stranger I am in this world, oh my heart...

The flower garden, the threshold's embrace,
The sweet world of dreams, a forgotten space.
All the games, scattered, like ashes to breeze,
The rivers of Ganga and Yamuna, now parted with ease.
I have lost all, every single thing,
I have lost all, the joy, the spring,
Oh, my heart, a stranger I must sing.
A stranger I am in this world, oh my heart...
