unche himaalay ke niche, chhup ke chanaaro ke pichhe
soye rahenge mere sapne, soye rahenge mere sapne
kab tak yuhi ankhiya miche-miche
unche himaalay ke niche, chhup ke chanaaro ke pichhe
soye rahenge mere sapne, soye rahenge mere sapne
kab tak yuhi ankhiya miche-miche
unche himaalay ke niche

aise rahe ye manva vyaakul, aise rahe ye manva vyaakul
qaid me jaise koi bulbul, qaid me jaise koi bulbul
ab na bhaye
ab na bhaye mujhko baabul ye tere baag-bagiche, bagiche
unche himaalay ke niche

dhup se khele aise chhaiya, dhup se khele aise chhaiya
pyaar me jaise koi saiya, pyaar me jaise koi saiya
thaam le kangana
thaam le kangana vaali baiya, panghat pe pipal ke niche-niche
unche himaalay ke niche

Beneath the towering Himalayas, veiled by whispering pines,
My dreams lie dormant, dreams entwined.
How long will they slumber, eyes tightly shut and blind?
Beneath the towering Himalayas, veiled by whispering pines,
My dreams lie dormant, dreams entwined.
How long will they slumber, eyes tightly shut and blind?
Beneath the towering Himalayas.

My heart, a restless spirit, a captive in its frame,
Like a caged nightingale, singing just the same.
No longer shall I find solace in your garden’s gentle claim,
No longer in your gardens, in Babool's hallowed name,
Beneath the towering Himalayas.

Shadows dance with sunlight, a lover's sweet embrace,
As a beloved embraces with tender grace.
Clutch my wrist, the bangles that lace,
At the sacred well, beneath the sacred space,
Beneath the towering Himalayas.
