mat bhool musafir tujhe jana hi padega
mat bhool musafir tujhe jana hi padega
mat bhool musafir tujhe jana hi padega
phoolwadii jab phool khile toh phooli nahi samaati hai
apni apni sundarta par kali kali bisrati hai
shabnam hai jawa ro ro kar shabnam hai jawa ro ro kar
har phool ko ye samjhati hai
mat bhool musafir tujhe jana hi padega
mat bhool musafir
ek musafir khana hai duniya ek musafir khana hai
ek musafir khana hai duniya ek musafir khana hai
moh jaal me faskar moorkh moh jaal me faskar moorkh
fir paachhe pachhtana hai
kafil ek din sabko yaha se itna khkar jana hai
kafil ek din sabko yaha se itna khkar jana hai
afsos naa jana tha ki jana hi padega
mat bhool musafir tujhe jana hi padega

Forget not, traveler, you must depart,
Forget not, traveler, you must depart,
Forget not, traveler, you must depart.

When the blooms burst forth in the garden's grace,
Each flower swells, lost in its own embrace,
Each bud displays its fragile, fleeting art.
But the dew, weeping, the dew, weeping,
Whispers to each flower, "You must depart."

Forget not, traveler, you must depart.
The world, a traveler's inn, it is,
The world, a traveler's inn.
Entangled in illusion, foolish heart,
Then later to repent, a heavy kiss.

A caravan will one day leave this place,
A caravan will one day leave this place,
Saying to all, with somber, final grace:
"Regret not, for you knew you must depart."
Forget not, traveler, you must depart.
