mai ek paheli hu barso se akeli hu
mujhe janne wala koi nahi
pahchanne wala koi nahi
mai ek paheli hu barso se akeli hu

mere pas aa mere meharba
na dur hi se saja mujhe
mai hu ek chirag bujha hua
tu jala sake to jala mujhe
mai ek paheli hu barso se akeli hu

meri kab se hai yahi arzu
ke mujhe gale se lagaye tu
tere dil ka dard mitau mai
mere dil ki pyas bujhaye tu
mere dil ki pyas bujhaye tu
mai ek paheli hu barso se akeli hu

tuhje kya khabar ke tere liye
mai na jane kab se udash hu
mera pyar dekh ke har ghadi
tere sath hu tere pas hu
mai ek paheli hu barso se akeli hu
mujhe janne wala koi nahi
pahchanne wala koi nahi
mai ek paheli hu barso se akeli hu

I am a riddle, alone for years,
No one to know me,
No one to recognize.
I am a riddle, alone for years.

Come closer, my beloved,
Do not adorn me from afar.
I am a lamp extinguished,
If you can, ignite me.
I am a riddle, alone for years.

My longing, since time began,
Is for you to embrace me.
I will erase the pain in your heart,
And you will quench the thirst in mine.
You will quench the thirst in mine.
I am a riddle, alone for years.

Do you know, for you,
How long I have been sorrowful?
Watching your love, every moment,
I am with you, near you.
I am a riddle, alone for years.
No one to know me,
No one to recognize.
I am a riddle, alone for years.
