mere mitva mitva o tum kaha ho
mere mitva o tum kaha ho
jiya nahi lage jiya nahi lage
kab aaoge kab aaoge
jiya nahi lage jiya nahi lage

sinduri shaam me thadpe akela aas ka panchi
sinduri shaam me thadpe akela aas ka panchi
tere hi geet gaay teri hi yaad dilaye
teri hi yaad dilaye tarsao na tarsao na
jiya nahi laage jiya nahi laage

mere mitva o o mere mitva
yaado ke badal chaye naina ye neer bahaye
yaado ke badal chaye naina ye neer bahaye
palako ki chori ab tak mere dard ko chupaye
mere dard ko chupaye tarsao na tarsao na
jiya nahi laage jiya nahi laage
kab aaoge kab aaoge
jiya nahi lage jiya nahi lage

My friend, my friend, oh where have you gone?
My friend, oh where have you gone?
My heart finds no peace, my heart finds no peace.
When will you come? When will you come?
My heart finds no peace, my heart finds no peace.

In the crimson evening, hope's lone bird aches,
In the crimson evening, hope's lone bird aches.
Singing only your song, recalling only your memory,
Recalling only your memory.
Do not torment, do not torment.
My heart finds no peace, my heart finds no peace.

My friend, oh, oh, my friend,
Clouds of memory gather, eyes weep tears,
Clouds of memory gather, eyes weep tears.
The theft of the lashes still hides my pain,
Hides my pain.
Do not torment, do not torment.
My heart finds no peace, my heart finds no peace.
When will you come? When will you come?
My heart finds no peace, my heart finds no peace.
