tadap tadap uthe jiya pukare man piya piya
mager piya na tum mile mager piya na tum mile
tadap tadap uthe jiya pukare man piya piya

hasi gayi khushi gayi gulal sab chitar gaya
ye roop sab utar gaya ke rang sab bikhar gaya
rache na mahandi hath me saje na kajara aankh me
kafan sabhi pe dal tu kidar gaya kidar gaya
tadap tadap uthe jiya pukare man piya piya

na tum mile ke bhigti rahi umar khadi khadi
huike sath hathkadi bani ke aankh phuljhadi
ke aayi na nind raat me na chain aaya phyas me
jo aayi to aayi teri yaad hi ghadi ghadi
tadap tadap uthe jiya pukare man piya piya

The heart, it aches, it yearns, cries out, "Beloved, Beloved!"
But you, my Beloved, you did not come, no, you did not come.
The heart, it aches, it yearns, cries out, "Beloved, Beloved!"

Laughter fled, joy vanished, the colors all are smeared,
This beauty, it all faded, these hues, they disappeared.
No henna blooms upon my hand, no kohl adorns my eye,
A shroud has fallen, tell me, where have you gone, where have you gone?
The heart, it aches, it yearns, cries out, "Beloved, Beloved!"

You did not come, and yet, the years, they stood and wept,
A chain of grief was forged with every breath I've kept,
Like sparks that dance within the eye, no sleep the night would bring,
No peace I found, no thirst was quenched, each hour my thoughts have swept,
And if you came, it was your memory, that lingered constantly.
The heart, it aches, it yearns, cries out, "Beloved, Beloved!"
