ae jaan-e-jigar dil me samaane aaja
ae jaan-e-jigar dil me samaane aaja
ujdi hui basti ko basaane aaja
ai jane jigar

dil dard se betab hai o jaan-e-tamanna
aaraam ka paigam sunane aaja
aaraam ka paigam sunane aaja
ai jane jigar

parwaana badi der se hai aas lagaye
ae shamma na kar der jalaane aa ja
ae shamma na kar der jalaane aa ja
ai jane jigar

tarsi hui najro ko hai didaar ki hasrat
barkha ki tarah pyaas bujhaane aaja
barkha ki tarah pyaas bujhaane aaja
ae jaan-e-jigar dil me samaane aaja
ae jaan-e-jigar dil me samaane aaja
ujdi hui basti ko basaane aaja
ai jane jigar

O, soul of the heart, come, reside in the core,
O, soul of the heart, come, reside in the core,
Rebuild this desolate land, and restore,
O, soul of the heart.

My heart, with sorrow, yearns, o, beloved's soul,
Bring tidings of solace, make my spirit whole,
Bring tidings of solace, make my spirit whole,
O, soul of the heart.

The moth waits long, in hope's embrace,
O, flame, delay no more, light up this place,
O, flame, delay no more, light up this place,
O, soul of the heart.

These longing eyes crave a glimpse of your face,
Like rain, come quench this thirst, find your grace,
Like rain, come quench this thirst, find your grace,
O, soul of the heart, come, reside in the core,
O, soul of the heart, come, reside in the core,
Rebuild this desolate land, and restore,
O, soul of the heart.
