mere charon taraf hai andhera
ghata rahi mandraye
pardeshi ki preet me
naina bhar bhar aaye

mere naino me jal bhar aaye
mere naino me jal bhar aaye
wo nahi aaye
wo nahi aaye
mere naino me jal bhar aaye
mere naino me jal bhar aaye

chhayi aaganme udasi
aankhiya darsan ki hai pyasi
bhul gaye kyu man ke baasi
toota dil ro ro ke gaye
wo nahi aaye
wo nahi aaye
mere naino me jal bhar aaye
wo nahi aaye
wo nahi aaye
mere naino me jal bhar aaye

kaise aau me pass tihare
ro ro ke dil ye pukare
kab aaoge mere pyaare
bithi hun mai deep jalaye
wo nahi aaye
wo nahi aaye
mere naino me jal bhar aaye
wo nahi aaye
wo nahi aaye
wo nahi aaye
wo nahi aaye

Darkness wraps the world I know,
Clouds of sorrow start to grow.
For a love that's far away,
Tears well up and start to play.

My eyes are rivers, overflowing,
My eyes with tears are now bestowing
A flood.
He will not come,
He will not come.
My eyes are rivers, overflowing,
My eyes with tears are now bestowing
A flood.

Despair has settled in the hall,
My eyes for his face now call.
Forgotten is the heart's true thrall,
Broken, weeping, sings my soul.
He will not come,
He will not come.
My eyes are rivers, overflowing,
He will not come,
He will not come.
My eyes are rivers, overflowing.

How to reach your side, my love?
My heart cries out, sent from above.
When will you come, my gentle dove?
I sit, with lamps in waiting held.
He will not come,
He will not come.
My eyes are rivers, overflowing,
He will not come,
He will not come.
He will not come,
He will not come.
