kab aaoge kab aaoge kab aaoge balma
baras baras badli bhi bikhar gayi
ab kab aaoge balma ab kab aaoge balma

paschim se purab aake meet gaye jhum ke
tum nahi aaye papi pardesh ghum ke
taras taras ankhiya bhi bikhar gayi
taras taras ankhiya bhi bikhar gayi
ab kab aaoge balma
ab kab aaoge balma

tumse bedarda balam
mujhse bhi purana hai
meri umange nayi dard purana hai
mujhse bhi purana hai
utar utar mehndi bhi utar gayi
utar utar mehndi bhi utar gayi
ab kab aaoge balma
ab kab aaoge balma
baras baras badli bhi
bichhad gayi

When will you come, when will you come, my love?
Year on year, the clouds have dispersed,
Now when will you come, my love, now when will you come?

From west to east, my friend has vanished, swaying,
You did not come, sinful, wandering in foreign lands,
Yearning, yearning, my eyes have also dispersed,
Yearning, yearning, my eyes have also dispersed,
Now when will you come, my love,
Now when will you come?

You, heartless love,
Are older than me,
My desires are new, the pain is old,
Older than me,
Fade by fade, the henna has also faded,
Fade by fade, the henna has also faded,
Now when will you come, my love,
Now when will you come?
Year on year, the clouds
Have separated.
