o babu babu good bye
o babu babu good bye
teri jeb pe rupaiya, na aana na payi
o babu babu good bye

ye rupaiya ye aana, do din ka fasana
ye rupaiya ye aana, do din ka fasana
mere dil ke samne
jhutha hai maal aur khazana
mere dil ke samne
jhutha hai maal aur khazana
tere pyar ne kaisi ye halat banai
o dear dear o dear dear
no no no
o babu babu good bye
o babu babu good bye

ye ant sant bate or pechdar ghate
chalegi na teri yaha
tu de raha hai jhase ja dur ho yaha se
tere pas dil hi kaha
tujhe dekhke haste hai sare khuda
o babu babu o babu babu
o babu babu good bye
o babu babu good bye

o tere bina jiwan
mera ye najuk dil haye tut jayega
o kya hai bura inme dunia ke jhagdo se
acha hai tut jayega
mai jan apni de dunga
isme puchta hai kya
are mai jan apni de dunga
isme puchta hai kya
are ja ja ja
o farhad aur majnu ke baap
o babu babu good bye
o babu babu good bye

Oh, Babu, Babu, goodbye,
Oh, Babu, Babu, goodbye.
Your pockets chime with coins, yet hold no true sigh,
Oh, Babu, Babu, goodbye.

These coins, these fleeting moments, a tale of just two days,
These coins, these fleeting moments, a tale of just two days.
Before my heart, they fade,
Mere trinkets, false displays.
Before my heart, they fade,
Mere trinkets, false displays.
Your love has wrought this plight, this tear-filled maze,
Oh dear, dear, oh dear, dear,
No, no, no,
Oh, Babu, Babu, goodbye,
Oh, Babu, Babu, goodbye.

These tangled webs, these crooked schemes,
Will find no purchase here.
You offer false embraces, depart, dispel these dreams,
For a heart, you lack, I fear.
The gods themselves laugh at your charade,
Oh, Babu, Babu, oh, Babu, Babu,
Oh, Babu, Babu, goodbye,
Oh, Babu, Babu, goodbye.

Oh, without you, my life,
My fragile heart, will shatter, alas,
What use these worldly strife?
Better to break, to let it pass.
I'll give my life, you see,
What questions does this raise?
I'll give my life, you see,
What questions does this raise?
Go, go, go!
Oh, father of Farhad and Majnu's phase,
Oh, Babu, Babu, goodbye,
Oh, Babu, Babu, goodbye.
