baithi hu intzaar me ummid lagaye na
jaane kis ghadi sajan mera aaye
sajan o sajan aaja ab aaja sajan o sajan aaja ab aaja
dekh rahi hu tera rasta dekh rahi hu tera rasta
aankhe jhalak dikha ja
sajan o sajan aaja ab aaja sajan o sajan aaja ab aaja

shamma banke main jal rahi hu
shamma banke main jal rahi hu mom ke jaise pighal rahi hu
shamma banke main jal rahi hu mom ke jaise pighal rahi hu
din ho chahe subho sham kar di maine tere naam
ghut ghut ke main mar na jaun aake aas bandha ja
sajan o sajan aaja ab aaja

apni chahat kya rang laayi
apni chahat kya rang laayi ghadi milan ki bani judaai
apni chahat kya rang laayi ghadi milan ki bani judaai
tere yaade jab jab aaye mere dil ko bahut rulaye
bin tere jiyu main kaise aake mujhe bata jaa
sajan o sajan aaja ab aaja

I sit, tethered to hope's frail thread,
Awaiting the hour, when my Beloved treads.
Beloved, O Beloved, come, oh come to me,
Beloved, O Beloved, come and set me free.
My gaze, a road, your path I seek,
Let your eyes, a glimpse, on my soul speak.
Beloved, O Beloved, come, oh come to me,
Beloved, O Beloved, come and set me free.

A candle, I burn, consumed by the night,
Like wax, I melt, surrendering to light.
A candle, I burn, consumed by the night,
Like wax, I melt, yearning with all my might.
Day or dawn, to your name I've pledged,
Lest I wither, dying, come and be wed.
Beloved, O Beloved, come, oh come to me,
Beloved, O Beloved, come and set me free.

My desire, what hues did it weave,
The hour of union, turned to grieve.
My desire, what hues did it weave,
The hour of union, turned to grieve.
Your memories, when they rise and swell,
My heart is shattered, a mournful knell.
How can I live without you near?
Come, tell me, Beloved, and quell my fear.
Beloved, O Beloved, come, oh come to me,
Beloved, O Beloved, come and set me free.
