jab se gaye pardes piya tum
jab se gaye pardes piya tum
nind na aayi teri kasam
o mere sajna, o mere sajna

pawan na sikhe, chhede purwayi
pawan na sikhe, chhede purwayi
aag lagaye ye rimjhim
o mere sajna, o mere sajna

mera sapna, kab hoga mera apna
sajna, o sajna
mere naina, ye jaage sari raina
sajna, o sajna
na chiththi, na koi sandesha
na chiththi, na koi sandesha
aaja rakhle man ka bhram
o mere sajna, o mere sajna

mera kajal, samete mere aanchal
sajna, o sajna
muyi payal kare mera man ghayal
sajna, o sajna
mera hi darpan, mujhko chidaye
mera hi darpan, mujhko chidaye
kaise karu singar balam
o mere sajna, o mere sajna

Since you've departed, Beloved, to distant lands,
Since you've departed, Beloved, to distant lands,
Sleep deserts me, I swear it,
O my Beloved, O my Beloved.

The wind has learned, it stirs the eastern breeze,
The wind has learned, it stirs the eastern breeze,
Setting ablaze the gentle rain,
O my Beloved, O my Beloved.

My dream, when will it be truly mine?
Beloved, O Beloved,
My eyes, awake throughout the night,
Beloved, O Beloved.
No letter, no tidings arrive,
No letter, no tidings arrive,
Come, and dispel the heart's doubt,
O my Beloved, O my Beloved.

My kohl, it gathers in my veil,
Beloved, O Beloved,
These cursed anklets wound my heart,
Beloved, O Beloved.
My own mirror, it mocks me so,
My own mirror, it mocks me so,
How can I adorn myself, my love?
O my Beloved, O my Beloved.
