yahi arman lekar aaj apne ghar se hum nikle
jaha hai jidnagi apni usi kute me dam nikle
sitaro jagmagao tum baharo muskurao tum
meri ujadi mohabbat ki hasi milkar udao tum
hasi milkar udao tum
jinhe sajde kiye hamne, jinhe sajde kiye hamne
wo pathar ke sanam nikle, wo pathar ke sanam nikle
jaha hai jidnagi apni usi kute me dam nikle

tamnna hai yahi ab to mera sar ho tera dar ho
na aasu koi aankho me
na sikwa koi lab par ho, na sikwa koi lab par ho
agar yu maut aa jaye, agar yu maut aa jaye
to apne dil se gum nikle, to apne dil se gum nikle
yahi arman lekar aaj apne ghar se hum nikle

With this longing, I stepped forth from home,
To where my life breathes its final foam.
Stars, now shimmer, lend your light,
And spring, now smile, with all your might.
Smile, let your laughter take its flight,
For those I worshipped, with all my soul,
Mere idols of stone, their truth to unroll.
To where my life breathes its final foam.

My heart's deep wish, a resting place,
Your door, my head, in sweet embrace.
No tears to fall, no word of pain,
No complaint upon my lips again.
If death should come, to end this plight,
Let sorrow from my heart take flight.
With this longing, I stepped forth from home.
