palat kar na aayi kabhi jo dubara
palat kar na aayi kabhi jo dubara
wo ek bewafa koi ladki thi yara
wo ek bewafa koi ladki thi yara
mere gam ne ro ro ke jisko pukara
mere gam ne ro ro ke jisko pukara
wo ek bewafa koi ladki thi yara
wo ek bewafa koi ladki thi yara

mere pyar ka phool murjha gaya hai
kaha ab main dhuhdhu mohbbat ki khusbu
meri aankh me hai judai ke aansu
wo sab le gai mere khusiyo ke jugnu
mujhe de gai hai jo tuta sitara
mujhe de gai hai jo tuta sitara
wo ek bewafa koi ladki thi yara
wo ek bewafa koi ladki thi yara

jo chahra mera pyar se chumti thi
jo seene se apne lagaati thi mujhko
jo pedo ke saye me mujhse lipatkar
wafao ke nagme sunati thi mujhko
jo chhup chhup ke karti thi mujhko ishara
jo chhup chhup ke karti thi mujhko ishara
wo ek bewafa koi ladki thi yara
wo ek bewafa koi ladki thi yara
palat kar na aayi kabhi jo dubara
palat kar na aayi kabhi jo dubara
wo ek bewafa koi ladki thi yara
wo ek bewafa koi ladki thi yara

Never to return, a fleeting trace,
Never to return, from that lost space,
A faithless girl, a phantom's embrace.
A faithless girl, a phantom's embrace.

My sorrow wept, a mournful plea,
My sorrow wept, for all to see,
A faithless girl, she wounded me.
A faithless girl, so wild and free.

My love's bloom withered, lost and gone,
Where now to seek love's fragrant dawn?
Tears of parting, a mournful yawn,
She stole the fireflies, my spirit's pawn.
A broken star, her parting gift,
A broken star, my soul to sift,
A faithless girl, my heart adrift.
A faithless girl, my life to lift.

The face that kissed with tender art,
The arms that held me to her heart,
Beneath the trees, a lover's start,
She sang of faith, a treacherous dart.
The secret glances, eyes that gleam,
The secret glances, a broken dream,
A faithless girl, a flowing stream.
A faithless girl, it would seem.
Never to return, the past's sting,
Never to return, the echoes sing,
A faithless girl, on fleeting wing.
A faithless girl, no joy to bring.
