o jaanewaale ae ae ae ae a
janewaale de gaye hai yaad ko saugat me
o janewale ab hamen chhip chhip ke rona hai
andheri raat mein o jane wale

dar ke wo peechhe hate jab ho gaya dushman jaha
aan aan aan pyar jo hota to kya
mitata zara si baat me janewale de gaye hai
yaad ko saugat me o janewale

ashq aankhon me bhare hai aur dil mein hai jalan
duniya walo jal gaya mera barsat me
janewale de gaye hai yaad ko saughat me
o janewale de gaye hai yaad ko saugat me
o janewale

O, the departing, ah, ah, ah, ah,
They left behind remembrance as a gift,
O, the departing, now we must weep in secret,
In the darkest night, O, the departing.

Fear retreated when the world became our foe,
If love had bloomed, what then?
It would have vanished in a fleeting word, the departing,
Left behind remembrance as a gift, O, the departing.

Tears fill my eyes, and a fire burns in my heart,
O people of the world, my world has burned in the rain,
The departing left behind remembrance as a gift,
O, the departing left behind remembrance as a gift,
O, the departing.
