khush raho ahal-e-chaman ham to chaman chhod chale
khush raho ahal-e-chaman
khaaq parades ki chhanege vatan chhod chale
khush raho ahal-e-chaman

bhul jana hame ham yaad ke qaabil hi nahi
bhul jana hame ham yaad ke qaabil hi nahi
kyaa pata de ki hamaari koi mazil hi nahi
apani taqadir ke dariya ka to saahil hi nahi
khush raho ahal-e-chaman

koi bhule se hame puchhe to samajha dena
ek bujhata hua dipak use dikhala dena
aankh jo usaki chhalak jaae to bahala dena
khush raho ahal-e-chaman

roz jab raat ke aanchal me sitare hoge
ye samajh lena ki vo ashq hamare hoge
aur kis haal me ham dard ke mare hoge
khush raho ahal-e-chaman

Farewell, dwellers of the garden, we depart,
Farewell, dwellers of the garden,
To sift the dust of foreign lands, leaving the heart,
Farewell, dwellers of the garden.

Forget us, we are not worthy of recall,
Forget us, we are not worthy of recall,
Who knows if we possess a goal at all?
Our destiny's river knows no shore at all,
Farewell, dwellers of the garden.

If, by chance, one should ask of us, explain,
Show them a dying lamp, a fading stain,
If tears should well within their eyes, then feign
Farewell, dwellers of the garden.

When stars adorn the night's embracing fold,
Know they are tears, our stories to be told,
And in what state of grief we shall be, cold,
Farewell, dwellers of the garden.
