o dur jane wale
o dur jane wale
wada na bhul jana
wada na bhul jana
rate hui andheri
rate hui andheri
tum chand banke aana
tum chand banke aana
o dur jane wale

apne hue paraye
apne hue paraye dushman hua zamana
apne hue paraye dushman hua zamana
tum bhi agar na aaye
tum bhi agar na aaye mera kaha thikana
ho dur jane wale
ho dur jane wale
wada na bhul jana
wada na bhul jana
ho dur jane wale

aaja kisi ki aankhe
aaja kisi ki aankhe ro ro ke kah rahi hai
aaja kisi ki aankhe ro ro ke kah rahi hai
aisa na ho ke hamko
aisa na ho ke hamko karde juda zamana
ho dur jane wale
ho dur jane wale
wada na bhul jana
wada na bhul jana
ho dur jane wale

O you, the one departing,
O you, the one departing,
Do not forget your promise,
Do not forget your promise.
The nights have grown so dark,
The nights have grown so dark,
Come back as the moon,
Come back as the moon,
O you, the one departing.

Those once close, now distant,
Those once close, now distant,
The world, a foe now grown,
The world, a foe now grown.
If you also do not return,
If you also do not return,
Where then is my home?
Where then is my home?
O you, the one departing,
O you, the one departing,
Do not forget your promise,
Do not forget your promise,
O you, the one departing.

Come, for these eyes,
Come, for these eyes,
Through tears, they plead for you,
Through tears, they plead for you.
Lest this world should sunder us,
Lest this world should sunder us,
Such parting be our fate,
Such parting be our fate,
O you, the one departing,
O you, the one departing,
Do not forget your promise,
Do not forget your promise,
O you, the one departing.
