mera baalam mera baalam mera baalam
mera baalam bada harzai re
mai to prit lga pachhtai re
nain milakr naina roye
ro ro aasa jiwan khoye
ro ro aasa jiwan khoye
maine apne haato apna
maine apne haato apna
raah me kaante boye
raah me kaante boye
sudh budh sab bisraai re
sudh budh sab bisraai re
mera baalam mera baalam
mera baalam bada harzai re
mai to prit lga pachhtai re

ho kar usne gair ke vash me
ho kar usne gair ke vash me
jahar milaya mere ras me
jahar milaya mere ras me
bhul gya wo saare vaade
bhul gya wo saare vaade
tod ke pyaar ki rasme
tod ke pyaar ki rasme
jivan hai dukhdai re
jivan hai dukhdai re
mera baalam mera baalam
mera baalam bada harzai re
mai to prit lga pachhtai re
mera baalam

My Beloved, My Beloved, My Beloved,
My Beloved, a heartless wanderer, alas.
I, in love, now lament,
Eyes that met, now weep,
Weeping, I lose life's gleam.
Weeping, I lose life's gleam.
With my own hands, I sowed,
With my own hands, I sowed,
Thorns upon my path's cold ground.
Thorns upon my path's cold ground.
Lost all reason, all sense,
Lost all reason, all sense.
My Beloved, My Beloved,
My Beloved, a heartless wanderer, alas.
I, in love, now lament.

Bound by another's hold,
Bound by another's hold,
Poisoned the sweetness of my soul.
Poisoned the sweetness of my soul.
He forgot all promises,
He forgot all promises,
Shattered love's sacred laws.
Shattered love's sacred laws.
Life, a burden of sorrow, alas,
Life, a burden of sorrow, alas.
My Beloved, My Beloved,
My Beloved, a heartless wanderer, alas.
I, in love, now lament.
My Beloved...
