salma ko mil gaya balma salma hum ko chhod chali
salma ko mil gaya balma salma hum ko chhod chali
oye satara baras ki yaade pal me vapas mod chali
salma ko mil gaya balma salma hum ko chhod chali
salma ko mil gaya balma salma hum ko chhod chali

surat se lagti thi bholi kab kheli ye aankh micholi
surat se lagti thi bholi kab kheli ye aankh micholi
kab baithi naino ki doli humne tab jana
jab humse naata tod chali
salma ko mil gaya balma salma hum ko chhod chali
salma ko mil gaya balma salma hum ko chhod chali

galo par hai sharam ki lali kuch mat kehna degi gali
galo par hai sharam ki lali kuch mat kehna degi gali
dhund liya bulbul ne mali apna naam
kisi pardesi ke sang jod chali
salma ko mil gaya balma salma hum ko chhod chali
salma ko mil gaya balma salma hum ko chhod chali

mere sapno ka sahjada mujhko lene kab aaye ga
mere sapno ka sahjada mujhko lene kab aaye ga
mera dola kab jaye ga vo banke
dulhan laal chunriya sir pe odh chali
salma ko mil gaya balma salma hum ko chhod chali
salma ko mil gaya balma salma hum ko chhod chali

oye satara baras ki yaade pal me vapas mod chali
salma ko mil gaya balma salma hum ko chhod chali
salma ko mil gaya balma salma hum ko chhod chali

Salma found her love, her solace,
Leaving us behind, Salma's gone.
Salma found her love, her solace,
Leaving us behind, Salma's gone.

Seventeen years, a memory's tide,
Swept away, where old roads end.
Salma found her love, her solace,
Leaving us behind, Salma's gone.
Salma found her love, her solace,
Leaving us behind, Salma's gone.

Innocence bloomed, a gentle guise,
When did this game of hide and seek begin?
Eyes that once held dreams, now rise,
Bearing forth a silent din.
When we knew her no more,
Salma found her love, her solace,
Leaving us behind, Salma's gone.
Salma found her love, her solace,
Leaving us behind, Salma's gone.

Shame's blush upon her cheek now gleams,
Words unspoken, shadows of the dawn.
The nightingale has found her dreams,
Joined with a stranger, newly born.
Salma found her love, her solace,
Leaving us behind, Salma's gone.
Salma found her love, her solace,
Leaving us behind, Salma's gone.

My heart's king, when will he arrive?
To claim me, take me from this place?
When will my bridal carriage drive,
A crimson veil upon my face?
Salma found her love, her solace,
Leaving us behind, Salma's gone.
Salma found her love, her solace,
Leaving us behind, Salma's gone.

Seventeen years, a memory's tide,
Swept away, where old roads end.
Salma found her love, her solace,
Leaving us behind, Salma's gone.
Salma found her love, her solace,
Leaving us behind, Salma's gone.
