mere khayalo me aake
gale laga ja mujhe, gale laga ja mujhe
ke aaj phir mera ji chahta hai rone ko
ke aaj phir mera ji chahta hai rone ko
ke aaj phir mera ji chahta hai rone ko

namak chidakte hai le le maza
wahi aansu haye re wahi aansu
namak chidakte hai le le maza
wahi aansu haye re wahi aansu
wo tere dar pe mile
dil ke zakham dhone ko
wo tere dar pe mile
dil ke zakham dhone ko
ke aaj phir mera ji chahta hai rone ko

thaka hua hai musafir sawal hai data
sawal hai data
thaka hua hai musafir sawal ha data
sawal hai data
kafan dila mujhe muh dhaapne ko sone ko
kafan dila mujhe muh dhaapne ko sone ko
ke aaj phir mera ji chahta hai rone ko

Embrace me in thought's embrace,
Hold me close, oh hold me close,
For today, my heart yearns to weep,
For today, my heart yearns to weep,
For today, my heart yearns to weep.

They sprinkle salt, savor the sting,
Those very tears, alas, those very tears,
They sprinkle salt, savor the sting,
Those very tears, alas, those very tears,
That met at your door,
To wash the wounds of the heart,
That met at your door,
To wash the wounds of the heart,
For today, my heart yearns to weep.

The weary traveler questions, O Giver,
Questions, O Giver,
The weary traveler questions, O Giver,
Questions, O Giver,
Give me a shroud, to cover my face, to sleep,
Give me a shroud, to cover my face, to sleep,
For today, my heart yearns to weep.
