samay o dhire chalo bujh gai rah se chhao
dur hai dur hai pi ka gaao dhire chalo dhire chalo

ji ko bahalaa liyaa
tune aas nirash ka khel kiya
tune aas nirash ka khel kiya
char dino me koi jiya na jiya
char dino me koi jiya na jiya
zahar ye sas ka piya na piya
zahar ye sas ka piya na piya

ye hava sab le gai
karava ke nisha bhi uda le gai
karava ke nisha bhi uda le gai
udati havao vale milege kahan
udati havao vaale milege kahan
koi bata do mere piya kaa nisha
koi bata do mere piya kaa nisha

samay o dhire chalo bujh gai rah se chhaao
dur hai, dur hai pi ka gao dhire chalo dhire chalo

Time, oh, walk softly, the shade has died on the road,
Far, far away lies my beloved's abode, walk softly, walk softly.
I have coaxed my heart,
You have played the game of hope and despair,
You have played the game of hope and despair.
In these four days, none have truly lived,
In these four days, none have truly lived.
Did I drink the poison of this breath, or did I not?
Did I drink the poison of this breath, or did I not?

This wind, it took it all away,
Even the traces of the caravan it blew away,
Even the traces of the caravan it blew away.
Those of the flying winds, where will we meet?
Those of the flying winds, where will we meet?
Tell me, oh, tell me the trace of my beloved,
Tell me, oh, tell me the trace of my beloved.
Time, oh, walk softly, the shade has died on the road,
Far, far away lies my beloved's abode, walk softly, walk softly.
