ulfat ki rakhna sharam
balam tumhe meri kasam, o dekho meri kasam
ulfat ki rakhna sharam
balam tumhe meri kasam, o dekho meri kasam

tute na sapne apne lagan ki
tute na sapne apne lagan ki
o mere sayiya bhole se man ke
bhole se man ke
dhana kahi na julum
ho o dhana kahi na julum
balam tumhe meri kasam, o dekho meri kasam

aandhi chale chahe tufaan aaye
aandhi chale chahe tufaan aaye
par shame ulfat bujhne na paye
bujhne na paye
jab tak rahe dam me dam
ho o jab tak rahe dam me dam
balam tumhe meri kasam, o dekho meri kasam

main hu balam aaj tere sahare
main hu balam aaj tere sahare
badle chanda aur badle sitare
badle sitare
lekin badlna na tum
ho o lekin badlna na tum
balam tumhe meri kasam, o dekho meri kasam

Hold fast the flame of love,
My love, I swear to you, see, I swear.
Hold fast the flame of love.
My love, I swear to you, see, I swear.

Shatter not the dreams of devotion,
Shatter not the dreams of devotion,
Oh, my love, of a simple heart,
A simple heart.
Do not inflict cruelty,
Oh, do not inflict cruelty.
My love, I swear to you, see, I swear.

Though storms rage and tempests roar,
Though storms rage and tempests roar,
Let not the lamps of love be quenched,
Be quenched.
While breath remains in breath,
Oh, while breath remains in breath.
My love, I swear to you, see, I swear.

I am, my love, now yours to keep,
I am, my love, now yours to keep,
Though the moon and stars may shift,
May shift.
But never you change,
Oh, but never you change.
My love, I swear to you, see, I swear.
