mela dilo kaa aata hai, ek baar aake chala jaata hai
mela dilo kaa aata hai, ek baar aake chala jaata hai
aate hain musaafir, jaate hain musaafir
jaana hee hai unako, kyun aate hain musaafir
mela dilo kaa aata hai, ek baar aake chala jaata hai

hans le gaa le ye din na milenge kal
thodee khushiya, hain thode se ye pal
ek baar phir chalee gayee jo ye bahaare
laut ke na aayengee gujaree bahaare
mela bahaaro kaa aata hai, ek baar aake chala jaata hai
aatee hain bahaare, jaatee hain bahaare
jaana hee hai inko, kyun aatee hain bahaare
mela dilo kaa aata hai, ek baar aake chala jaata hai

saajan mere ek tujhape bharosa hai
iss bhid me ek tu hee to meraa hai
mausam badale badale jamaana
vaada kiya jo, vaada nibhaana hai
mela wafaao kaa aata hai, ek baar aake chala jaata hai
haatho kee lakire gaay ye taraana
marke bhee ye rishta hamako hai nibhaana
mela dilo kaa aata hai, ek baar aake chala jaata hai

A fair of hearts arrives, a fleeting stay,
A fair of hearts arrives, then fades away.
Travelers gather, then depart from view,
If parting's fated, why do they pursue?
A fair of hearts arrives, a fleeting stay.

Laugh and sing, for these days won't return,
Moments of joy, a lesson we must learn.
Once again, if springtime takes its flight,
Past springtimes lost will vanish from our sight.
A fair of springs arrives, a fleeting stay,
Springtimes arrive, then melt and slip away,
If parting's fated, why do they portray?
A fair of hearts arrives, a fleeting stay.

Beloved, on your love, I place my trust,
In this vast crowd, in you I find my just.
Seasons may shift, and epochs rearrange,
The vow we made, a promise to exchange.
A fair of faith arrives, a fleeting stay,
The lines upon our hands, this song convey,
Even in death, this bond shall hold its sway.
A fair of hearts arrives, a fleeting stay.
