jaago jaago, jaago jaago
jaago bahna hua sabera jaago
jaago bahna hua sabera jaago
tum bin kaha lage dil mera jaago
jaago bahna hua sabera jaago

dekho kirno ki pichkaari
dekho kirno ki pichkaari
suraj ne aakar hai maari
utho khelo inke rango se
utho khelo inke rango se
chume jo mukh tera
jaago bahna hua sabera jaago
tum bin kaha lage dil mera jaago
jaago bahna hua sabera jaago

humne tum pe duniya vaari
humne tum pe duniya vaari
tumko humse nind hai pyari
o bahna nindiya si pyari
o bahna nindiya si pyari
beeta waqt ghanera
beeta waqt ghanera
jaago bahna hua sabera jaago
tum bin kaha lage dil mera jaago
jaago bahna hua sabera jaago

Awake, awake, awaken now, arise,
Sister, the dawn unfurls across the skies.
Awake, awake, the morning light appears,
Where does my heart find solace, absent yours?
Awake, awake, the dawn, it is now here.

See the sun’s hues, a vibrant spray,
See the sun's colours in bright display,
The sun has flung its colours out, today.
Rise, and in these colours, joyously play,
Rise and play in these vibrant hues,
That kiss your face, in morning's rays.
Awake, awake, the dawn unfurls its grace,
Where does my heart find solace, absent your embrace?
Awake, awake, the dawn, it finds its space.

For you, we've given all the world's desire,
For you, the world's most fervent fire.
But sleep holds you in its embrace so deep,
But sleep holds you, dear sister, in its keep.
Oh sister, sleep, so precious and so sweet,
The precious moments swiftly flee.
The passing hours, they swiftly sweep,
Awake, awake, the dawn, it is now here,
Where does my heart find solace, far from near?
Awake, awake, the dawn, it perseveres.
