jal bin machhali piya bin sajani
tadap tadap ji mare us pyar se
koi kahe pukare hame
jal bin machhali piya bin sajani
tadap tadap ji mare us pyar se
koi kahe pukare hame

ankhiyan mein jhar jhar nir bhare
ankhiyan mein jhar jhar nir bhare
koi biraha ki agan jale jale
us pyar se koi kahe pukare hame
jal bin machhali piya bin sajani
tadap tadap ji mare us pyar se
koi kahe pukare hame

jiva roye naina khoye
jiva roye naina khoye
jage jiye ya mare
us pyar se koi kahe pukare hame
jal bin machhali piya bin sajani
tadap tadap ji mare us pyar se
koi kahe pukare hame

Like a fish, bereft of water, a lover without her beloved,
Yearning, yearning, life withers in that love,
Why does anyone call to us?
Like a fish, bereft of water, a lover without her beloved,
Yearning, yearning, life withers in that love,
Why does anyone call to us?

Tears stream, flowing from the eyes,
Tears stream, flowing from the eyes,
The fire of separation burns,
In that love, why does anyone call to us?
Like a fish, bereft of water, a lover without her beloved,
Yearning, yearning, life withers in that love,
Why does anyone call to us?

The soul weeps, the eyes lose their way,
The soul weeps, the eyes lose their way,
Awake, alive, or dead,
In that love, why does anyone call to us?
Like a fish, bereft of water, a lover without her beloved,
Yearning, yearning, life withers in that love,
Why does anyone call to us?
