aaj akeli me aur jaha ke sitam
tu bhi kahi se todke bandhan ab to aaja sanam
aaj akeli me aur jaha ke sitam
tu bhi kahi se todke bandhan ab to aaja sanam
aaj akeli me

kash hum aazad panchhi ban ke udte sath aakash me
kash hum aazad panchhi ban ke udte sath aakash me
fir kisi daali ke piche hath lekar hath me
is tarah baaho me khilte dekhta sara chaman
aaj akeli me aur jaha ke sitam
tu bhi kahi se todke bandhan ab to aaja sanam
aaj akeli me

Alone am I, and the world's cruel hand,
Break free, my love, from every binding strand.
Alone am I, and the world's cruel hand,
Break free, my love, and come to this land.
Alone am I.

If we were free birds, soaring, unbound,
Together in skies, our spirits would resound.
If we were free birds, soaring, unbound,
And hand in hand, a hidden bough we'd found.
And, in such embrace, the gardens would bloom,
Alone am I, and the world's cruel gloom,
Break free, my love, and chase away the doom,
Alone am I.
