bekarar karake hume yu na jaaiye
aapko hamari kasam laut aaiye
bekarar karake hume yu na jaaiye
aapko hamari kasam laut aaiye

dekhiye vo kaali kaali badaliya
zulf ki ghata chura na le kahi
chori chori aake shokh bijaliya
aapki ada chura na le kahi
yu kadam akele na aage badhaaiye
aapko hamari kasam laut aaiye
bekarar karake hume yu na jaaiye
aapko hamari kasam laut aaiye

dekhiye gulaab ki wo daaliya
badhke chum le na aap ke kadam
dekhiye gulaab ki vo daaliya
badhke chum le na aap ke kadam
khoye khoye bhanvare bhi hai baag me
koi aapko bana na le sanam
bahki bahki nazro se khud ko bachaaiye
aapko hamari kasam laut aaiye
bekarar karake hume yu na jaaiye
aapko hamari kasam laut aaiye

zindagi ke raaste ajib hai
in me is tarah chala na kijiye
khair hai isi me aapki huzur
apna koi saathi dhundh li jiye
sunke dil ki baat yu na muskuraaiye
aapko hamari kasam laut aaiye
bekarar karake hume yu na jaaiye
aapko hamari kasam laut aaiye
bekarar karake hume yu na jaaiye
aapko hamari kasam laut aaiye

Do not leave us restless, do not depart,
By our love's oath, return to this heart.
Do not leave us restless, do not depart,
By our love's oath, return to this heart.

Behold those clouds, dark, vast, and deep,
Lest your tresses to them they keep.
Lithe lightning, in secret, might creep,
And steal the grace that you do sweep.
Do not tread onward, your steps alone,
By our love's oath, return to your own.
Do not leave us restless, do not depart,
By our love's oath, return to this heart.

See the rose branches, reaching high,
Lest they kiss your feet as you pass by.
See the rose branches, reaching high,
Lest they kiss your feet as you pass by.
Dazed bees wander, in gardens of bliss,
Lest one makes you their love with a kiss.
From wandering gazes, yourself now defend,
By our love's oath, return without end.
Do not leave us restless, do not depart,
By our love's oath, return to this heart.

Life's paths are strange, a winding maze,
Do not walk them in these lonesome days.
It's best, O Beloved, with grace to proceed,
Find a companion to plant your seed.
Do not smile thus, hearing what we impart,
By our love's oath, return to this heart.
Do not leave us restless, do not depart,
By our love's oath, return to this heart.
Do not leave us restless, do not depart,
By our love's oath, return to this heart.
