pardesh balam tum jaoge kaho meri kasam kab aaoge
pardesh balam tum jaoge kaho meri kasam kab aaoge
pardesh balam tum jaoge kaho meri kasam kab aaoge
pardesh balam tum jaoge kaho meri kasam kab aaoge

ghangor ghata jab chayegi o chayegi
sawan ka sandesha layegi o layegi
aur yaad hamari aayegi o aayegi
jab pas na hamko paoge fir naino se jal barasaoge
pardesh balam tum jaoge kaho meri kasam kab aaoge

amuaa pe koyal jab bolegi o bolegi
meri choti si duniya dolegi o dolegi
chup chup ke ye birahan ro legi o ro legi
is dil ko jo thesh lagaoge dekho prit ki ye pachhtaoge
pardesh balam tum jaoge kaho meri kasam kab aaoge

o bhagiyan me pawan jab ghumegi o ghumegi
har phul ka mukhada chumegi o chumegi
has has ke jawani jhumagi o jhumegi
mere naino me tum bas jaoge mora najuk sa dil tadhpaoge
pardesh balam tum jaoge kaho meri kasam kab aaoge

When you journey far, my love, you go,
Tell me, by your vow, when will you return?
When you journey far, my love, you go,
Tell me, by your vow, when will you return?

When dark clouds gather, they gather,
And the monsoon's message they bring,
And my memory will come to you,
And when you find me not beside you, your eyes will weep.
When you journey far, my love, you go,
Tell me, by your vow, when will you return?

When the cuckoo sings from the mango tree,
My tiny world will sway, it will sway.
Silently, the lovesick heart will weep,
And if you wound this heart, you will regret this love.
When you journey far, my love, you go,
Tell me, by your vow, when will you return?

When the wind wanders through the gardens,
And kisses the faces of every flower,
And youth will dance with laughter,
You will dwell in my eyes, and you will torment my tender heart.
When you journey far, my love, you go,
Tell me, by your vow, when will you return?
