naiya
naiya dheere dheere jaana
naiya dheere dheere jaana
saajan hamko mat bisraana
saajan hamko mat bisraana
naiya dheere dheere jaana
naiya dheere dheere jaana

hamse bichhde man ke baasi
hamse bichhde man ke baasi
jit dekho chhaayi hai udaasi
sakhiyo mein baaten hoti hain
sakhiyo mein baaten hoti hain
lipat lipat belen roti hain
lipat lipat belen roti hain
shaakhen haath hilaati hain
shaakhen haath hilaati hain

kyun waapas mujhe bulaati hain
kyun waapas mujhe bulaati hain
ab to bandhan tod chuke ham
ab to bandhan tod chuke ham
ab to door thikaana
naiya dheere dheere jaana
naiya dheere dheere jaana

The ferry,
drift with a gentle hand,
drift with a gentle hand.
My love, forget me not,
my love, forget me not,
the ferry, drift with a gentle hand,
drift with a gentle hand.

From us, the heart's old tenant departs,
from us, the heart's old tenant departs,
wherever I gaze, sorrow holds.
The girlfriends whisper amongst themselves,
the girlfriends whisper amongst themselves,
vines weep, clinging to the earth,
vines weep, clinging to the earth.
Branches wave their farewells,
branches wave their farewells.

Why does it call me back?
Why does it call me back?
Now, we have shattered the chains,
now, we have shattered the chains,
now, a distant shore awaits.
The ferry, drift with a gentle hand,
drift with a gentle hand.
