ae mere dil jo chal diye
kaise karar payenge
ae mere dil jo chal diye
chodd ke kisi gali
ham to kahi na jayenge
ae mere dil jo chal diye

pyar ka vatan yehi
hai pyar ka yehi jahan
dur kahi jahan se
behte rahenge meri jaan
fir kaise ham tujhko pehnayege
chodd ke kisi gali
ham to kahi na jayenge
ae mere dil jo chal diye

agar vo tere nahi to kiska intjaar hai
bekarar ho ke bhi jaise hame karar hai
ye tujhko fursat me samjhayenge
chodd ke kisi gali
ham to kahi na jayenge
ae mere dil jo chal diye
ae mere dil jo chal diye

Oh, my heart, now you depart,
How will solace find its way?
Oh, my heart, now you depart,
Leaving some lane behind.
Nowhere will I stray.
Oh, my heart, now you depart.

Love's homeland dwells right here,
Love's very world, it's true.
Far from other realms so clear,
My lifeblood will flow through you.
Then how shall I adorn you anew?
Leaving some lane behind.
Nowhere will I stray.
Oh, my heart, now you depart.

If they aren't yours, whose wait do you embrace?
Restless, we find peace, a curious grace.
This, in leisure, I'll explain to you.
Leaving some lane behind.
Nowhere will I stray.
Oh, my heart, now you depart.
Oh, my heart, now you depart.
