pardes ja ke pardesiya bhul na jana piya
pardes ja ke pardesiya bhul na jana piya
tanman kisi ne tujhe
tanman kisi ne tujhe arpan kiya
pardes ja ke pardesiya bhul na jana piya
pardes ja ke pardesiya bhul na jana piya

ek teri khushi ke karan ek teri khushi ke karan
lakh sahe dukh hamne o sajan
lakh sahe dukh hamne o sajan
hans ke judai ka
hans ke judai ka zahar piya
pardes ja ke pardesiya bhul na jana piya
pardes ja ke pardesiya bhul na jana piya

dil me tera pyar basaya dil ko jaise rog lagaya
sari umar ka sari umar ka dard liya
pardes ja ke pardesiya bhul na jana piya
pardes ja ke pardesiya bhul na jana piya

ab jaoge kab aaoge jab aaoge tab aaoge
ab jaoge kab aaoge jab aaoge tab aaoge
itne din hai itne din hai kaun jiya
pardes ja ke pardesiya bhul na jana piya
pardes ja ke pardesiya bhul na jana piya

Wanderer, across the sea, forget not, my love,
Wanderer, across the sea, forget not, my love,
One gave you all,
Body and soul, offered above.
Wanderer, across the sea, forget not, my love,
Wanderer, across the sea, forget not, my love.

For your joy, your single gleam,
We bore a million sorrows, it would seem,
A million sorrows, it would seem.
Smiling, we drank
Smiling, we drank the poison of parting's dream.
Wanderer, across the sea, forget not, my love,
Wanderer, across the sea, forget not, my love.

Your love, a seed within my heart,
Planted a pain that will never depart,
Like a disease, the tearing apart.
All my life's pain,
All my life's pain, I did impart.
Wanderer, across the sea, forget not, my love,
Wanderer, across the sea, forget not, my love.

When will you leave? When will you return?
When you return, then will I yearn?
So many days,
So many days, how long can I learn?
Wanderer, across the sea, forget not, my love,
Wanderer, across the sea, forget not, my love.
