bichhde abhi to ham bas kal parso
jiyugi mai kaise is haal me barso
maut na aayi teri yaad kyo aayi, hay lambi judai
chaar dina da pyaar, ho rabba
badi lambi judai, lambi judai
hotho pe aaye, meri jaan, duhai hay lambi judai

ek to sajan mere paas nahi re
duje milan di koi aas nahi re
duje milan di koi aas nahi re
uspe ye saavaniya ne
uspe ye saavaniya ne aag lagai, hay lambi judai
chaar dina da pyar, ho rabba
badi lambi judai, lambi judai

tute jamane tere hath nigode, hath nigode
dil se dilo ki tune shishe tode, shishe tode
hijra ki unchi, hijra ki unchi divar banayi, hay lambi judai
chaar dina da pyar, ho rabba
badi lambi judai, lambi judai

bag ujad gaye, bag ujad gaye khilne se pahle
panchi bichhad gaye milne se pahle
panchi bichhad gaye milne se pahle
koyal ki kuu, koyal ki kuu ne huk uthai, hay lambi judai
chaar dina da pyar, ho rabba
badi lambi judaai, lambi judai
hotho pe aaye, meri jaan, duhai hay lambi judai

Parted we are, but just days ago,
How shall I live, in this state, for years to grow?
Death did not come, but your memory did,
Oh, this long separation!
Four days of love, oh God,
Such a long parting, a long parting.
On my lips, my life, a cry,
Oh, this long separation.

My love is far, not here with me,
No hope remains of us meeting, you see.
No hope remains of us meeting, you see.
And on top of this, these rainy days,
And on top of this, these rainy days, set fire, oh, this long separation!
Four days of love, oh God,
Such a long parting, a long parting.

Shattered the times, your hands, cruel and cold,
From hearts, you broke the mirrors, stories told.
High the wall of separation you made, oh, this long separation!
Four days of love, oh God,
Such a long parting, a long parting.

Gardens withered, gardens withered before they could bloom,
Birds parted, before they could be consumed.
Birds parted, before they could be consumed.
The cuckoo's call, the cuckoo's call, a longing expressed, oh, this long separation!
Four days of love, oh God,
Such a long parting, a long parting.
On my lips, my life, a cry, oh, this long separation!
