kidhar hai tu ae meri tamanna
kidhar hai tu ae meri tamanna
chirag abhi tha mere jala ja
mere andhere ki roshni ban
mere andhere ki roshni ban
is ujdi mandir me meri aaja

mere gulista ke laal-o-gul
gaye hai muddate guluftana
o mere gulshan me meri devi
o mere gulshan me meri devi
phir aake ik baar muskura ja

hawa ruki hai ise talaq de
bujhe hai shole inhe lapak de
khiza pe bechainiya chhidak de
ik aag si har taraf laga ja
kidhar hai tu ae meri tamanna

Where do you wander, O my Desire?
Where do you wander, O my Desire?
Once a lamp, you ignited my core,
Become the light that my shadows implore,
Become the light that my shadows implore,
And in this temple, now ruined, restore.

The tulips and roses of my heart's bloom,
Have faded, consumed by a sorrowful gloom.
O my Goddess, within my garden's keep,
O my Goddess, within my garden's keep,
Return and once more, let your laughter leap.

The wind is still, give it breath anew,
Extinguish flames, ignite them anew,
On autumn's unrest, sprinkle the dew,
And set a fire, burning brightly through,
Where do you wander, O my Desire?
