mera rutha balam ho mera rutha sajan
mera rutha balam ho mera rutha sajan
apne ruthe balam
apne ruthe sajan ko manaungi
mera rutha balam ho mera rutha sajan

ha kabhi machlungi nas nas me
bankar umang
kabhi nachungi hariday ki
dhadkan ke sang kabhi nachungi hariday ki
dhadkan ke sang mai to nachungi
mai to nachungi gane sunaungi
apne ruthe balam
apne ruthe sajan ko manaungi
mera rutha balam ho mera rutha sajan

kabhi sharmake kabhi sharmake
najre bachaungi mai kabhi sharmake
najre bachaungi mai kabhi chup chup ke
kabhi chup chup ke chup chup ke julf laharau mai
kabhi naino se
kabhi naino se naina milaungi
apne ruthe balam
apne ruthe sajan ko manaungi
mera rutha balam ho mera rutha sajan

mujhe in par bhi apna na janenge wo
kisi surat se bhi jab na manenge wo
unke charno pe
unke charno pe shish nawaungi
apne ruthe balam
apne ruthe sajan ko manaungi
mera rutha balam ho mera rutha sajan

My beloved is estranged, my love has turned away,
My beloved is estranged, my love has turned away.
My estranged love,
My estranged love, I will win them back.
My beloved is estranged, my love has turned away.

Yes, sometimes I'll surge, in every vein,
Becoming a wave of joy, a vibrant strain.
Sometimes I'll dance, with my heart's own beat,
Sometimes I'll dance, with my heart's own beat, I'll dance,
I will dance, and sing to thee,
My estranged love,
My estranged love, I will win them back.
My beloved is estranged, my love has turned away.

Sometimes shyly, sometimes shyly,
I'll avert my gaze.
Sometimes shyly, I'll hide my eyes away,
Sometimes secretly,
Sometimes secretly, my hair I'll sway.
Sometimes with eyes,
Sometimes with eyes, I'll meet their stare.
My estranged love,
My estranged love, I will win them back.
My beloved is estranged, my love has turned away.

If, even then, they won't accept me,
If, in any way, they will not relent,
At their feet,
At their feet, my head I'll bow low.
My estranged love,
My estranged love, I will win them back.
My beloved is estranged, my love has turned away.
