o pardesi o pardesi
bhul na jana bhul na jana
ye dekh ke desh paraya
ye dekh ke desh paraya
paisa dhan aur maya
paisa dhan aur maya
unko na bisarana
bhul na jana o pardesi
bhul na jana bhul na jana

yade tumhari yade tumhari sath rahegi
sath jiyegi sath maregi
komal phul se pritam ko tum
pyar se jhula jhulana
pyar se jhula jhulana o pardesi
bhul na jana bhul na jana
ek aas chali hai hilne wali
aur murad hai milne wali milne wali
in dono ko god me le kar
meri yad dilana meri yad dilana
o pardesi
bhul na jana bhul na jana

aaj ke bichhude kal ko milenge
fir se teri jholi bharenge jholi bharenge
bichhadi hui in aankho ko tum
ab na rah bich lana ho o pardesi
o pardesi
bhul na jana bhul na jana

O Wanderer, O Wanderer,
Do not forget, do not forget.
Beholding this foreign land,
Beholding this foreign land,
Wealth, riches, and illusion,
Wealth, riches, and illusion,
Do not forsake them,
Do not forget, O Wanderer,
Do not forget, do not forget.

Your memories, your memories, will remain with you,
Will live with you, will die with you.
Like a tender flower, to your beloved,
Swing them with love,
Swing them with love, O Wanderer,
Do not forget, do not forget.
A hope is trembling,
And a wish is about to be fulfilled, to be fulfilled.
Taking these two in your lap,
Remind them of me, remind them of me,
O Wanderer,
Do not forget, do not forget.

Those separated today will meet tomorrow,
Again your lap will be filled, will be filled.
These separated eyes, you,
Now do not lead them astray, oh O Wanderer,
O Wanderer,
Do not forget, do not forget.
