o america america
mai tujhse achha o america
mai bhatka insaan o america
tu mujhko raah de tu mujhko panaah de
hoga mujhpar ehsaan o america, america

ye husn ke mele ye jawaaniya
hai pyaar bhi jawaan yeh kahaniya
meri woh jaane jaa is waqt hai kahaan
meri nazar hairaan o america
america o america

har pal mere liye ek imtihaan hai
khamosh lab mere dil bejubaan hai
tu mera saath de haathon mei haath de
ek dost ke samaan o america

O America, America, I surpass thee,
A wandering soul, O America.
Guide me, shelter me, I implore,
Your kindness, a blessed decree, O America.

These fairs of beauty, youth's embrace,
Love, a young tale in this fleeting space.
My beloved, where does she reside?
My gaze, bewildered, O America, America.

Each moment, an arduous test,
My lips are silent, my heart distressed.
Walk with me, hand in hand, my friend,
A companion true, O America.
