tadapta chhod kar mujhko
kaha tum rah gaye pyare
kaha tum rah gaye pyare
chale aao bulate hai
ye aansu dard ke mare
ye aansu dard ke mare

o mujhko bhulne wale
o mujhse ruthne wale
o mujhko bhulne wale
o mujhse ruthne wale
tumhari yad me roke
bechare chand aur tare
bechare chand aur tare
tadapta chhod kar mujhko
kaha tum rah gaye pyare
kaha tum rah gaye pyare

mohabbat karne walo ko
nahi kyu chain milta hai
mohabbat karne walo ko
nahi kyu chain milta hai
waha tum ho yaha hum hai
ye kaise bata ja re
jiye kaise bata ja re
tadapta chhod kar mujhko
kaha tum rah gaye pyare
kaha tum rah gaye pyare

lagaye aas baithi hu, jalaye hu shama dil ki
lagaye aas baithi hu, jalaye hu shama dil ki
ho mujhko bhulne wale, idhar bhule se aaja re
idhar bhule se aaja re
tadapta chhod kar mujhko
kaha tum rah gaye pyare
kaha tum rah gaye pyare

Leaving me to ache, where did you go, my love?
Where did you go, my love?
Come back, I call to you,
These tears, born of pain, they implore you.
These tears, born of pain, they implore you.

Oh, you who have forgotten me,
Oh, you who have turned away,
Oh, you who have forgotten me,
Oh, you who have turned away,
In remembrance of you, the moon and stars weep,
Poor moon and stars, they weep with me.
Leaving me to ache, where did you go, my love?
Where did you go, my love?

Why is there no peace for those who love?
Why is there no peace for those who love?
You are there, and I am here,
How do I live this way, tell me?
How do I live, tell me?
Leaving me to ache, where did you go, my love?
Where did you go, my love?

I sit here, filled with hope, lighting the lamp of my heart,
I sit here, filled with hope, lighting the lamp of my heart.
Oh, you who have forgotten me, come back, even by chance, come!
Come back, even by chance, come!
Leaving me to ache, where did you go, my love?
Where did you go, my love?
