chal diya kaarva, lut gaye ham yaha, tum vaha
chal diya kaarva, lut gaye ham yaha, tum vaha
gir padi bijaliya, jal gaya aashiya, uth raha hai dhua
chal diya kaarva, lut gaye ham yaha, tum vaha

o jaane vaale thahar zara, fariyad hamaari sunta ja
daman pe likhi hai ashko ne rudaad hamaari sunta ja
ji sakege na ham, tumse hoke juda
jaa meri zindagi tera hafiza khuda
tera mehmil chala, asra-e-dil chala, rah gayi daasta
chal diya kaarva, lut gaye ham yaha, tum vaha
chal diya kaarva

The caravan departs, we are lost here, you there,
The caravan departs, we are lost here, you there,
Lightning strikes, the home ablaze, smoke ascends,
The caravan departs, we are lost here, you there.

O traveler, pause a moment, hear our plea,
Tears have etched their tale upon this sleeve, hear our plea,
We cannot live, parted from your grace,
Go, my life, may God be your guide,
Your litter departs, shelter of the heart departs, a legend remains,
The caravan departs, we are lost here, you there,
The caravan departs.
