ghar aaya mera pardesi
pyas bujhi meri ankhiyan ki
tu mere man kaa moti hai
in nainan ki jyoti hai
yaad hai mere bachpan ki
ghar aaya mera pardesi

ab dil todke mat jana
rote chhod ke mat jana
kasam tujhe mere ansuan ki
ghar aaya mera pardesi

My wanderer has come home,
Quenching the thirst of my eyes.
You are the pearl of my heart,
The light within these eyes.
A memory of my childhood,
My wanderer has come home.

Now, do not break my heart,
Do not leave me weeping.
I swear by the tears I have cried,
My wanderer has come home.
