bechaaraa dil kyaa kare, saavan jale bhaado jale
do pal ki raah nahi, ik pal ruke ik pal chale

gaanv gaanv me, ghume re jogi, rogi chage kare,
mere hi man kaa, taap na jaane, haath naa dhare

tere vaaste, laakho raaste, tu jahaan bhi chale,
mere liye bas teri hi raahe, tu jo saath le

The heart, a beggar, what can it now do?
When monsoon burns, and autumn burns anew.
No path of two breaths, no moment to stay,
Only a flicker, then swiftly away.

A wandering mendicant, through every town he goes,
To heal the sick, their suffering he knows.
But of my soul's fever, he's unaware,
His healing touch, it finds no welcome there.

For you, a million roads stretch far and wide,
Wherever you wander, with the world as your guide.
But for me, only your path does remain,
If only you'd walk it, and ease my pain.
