aaye na balam vada kar ke
aaye na balam vada kar ke
aaye na balam vada kar ke
thak gaye naina dhiraj dhar ke
dhiraj dhar ke
aaye na balam vada kar ke
aaye na balam

chup gaya chanda lut gayi jyoti
chup gaya chanda lut gayi jyoti
tare ban gaye jhuthe moti
tare ban gaye jhuthe moti
pad gaye fike rang najar ke
pad gaye fike rang najar ke
aaye na balam vada kar ke
aaye na balam

aake tum bin aankho me dam hai
aake tum bin aankho me dam hai
raat hai lambi jivan kam hai
raat hai lambi jivan kam hai
dekh lu tum ko mai ji bhar ke
dekh lu tum ko mai ji bhar ke
aaye na balam vada kar ke
aaye na balam vada kar ke
aaye na balam

He promised, yet he did not come,
He promised, yet he did not come,
My eyes grow weary, patience numb,
Patience numb,
He promised, yet he did not come,
He promised, yet he did not come.

The moon has vanished, light now lost,
The moon has vanished, light now lost,
Stars are but pearls, a hollow cost,
Stars are but pearls, a hollow cost,
Faded hues upon my sight are crossed,
Faded hues upon my sight are crossed,
He promised, yet he did not come,
He promised, yet he did not come.

Come, for without you, life's a sigh,
Come, for without you, life's a sigh,
The night is long, and moments die,
The night is long, and moments die,
Let me drink your form, before I lie,
Let me drink your form, before I lie,
He promised, yet he did not come,
He promised, yet he did not come,
He promised, yet he did not come.
