diya jalaaun diyaa jalaaun
mai ghee ka diyaa jalaayun re ghar aao
mai ghee ka diyaa jalaayun re ghar aao
chain na din bhar, rain na nindiyaa
bikhar ga_i maathe ki bindiyaa
nainan nir bahaaun re ghar aao, ghar aao
mai ghee ka diyaa jalaayun re ghar aao

badi der se khadi suhaagan
raah takat hai tihaari
aao man ke mit ab aao,aao man ke mit ab aao
pujaa karun tihaari
ghar aao mai ghi kaa diyaa jalaaun re ghar aao

I light a lamp, I light a lamp,
A ghee lamp, I ignite, Oh, come home.
A ghee lamp, I ignite, Oh, come home.
No peace by day, no sleep by night,
No peace by day, no sleep by night,
The bindi's gleam, scattered, lost to sight.
Tears stream from my eyes, Oh, come home, come home,
A ghee lamp, I ignite, Oh, come home.

Long I've waited, a blessed bride,
Long I've waited, for your return,
Awaiting your path,
Come, Beloved of my heart, come now,
Come, Beloved of my heart, come now,
That I may offer worship to thee.
Come home, a ghee lamp, I ignite, Oh, come home.
