sham aayegi to suraj bhi ye ghar jayega
tu bata ai dile aawara kidhar jayega kidhar jayega

na jane kya aisi khata ho gayi
bahut jindagani khafa ho gayi
na jane kya aisi khata ho gayi
bahut jindagani khafa ho gayi
khata ho gayi bahut jindagani khafa ho gayi
sham aayegi to suraj bhi ye ghar jayega
tu bata ai dile aawara kidhar jayega kidhar jayega

maine mana ki mai hu bahut hi bewafa
ho sake to maf kar de meri ye khata
sham aayegi to suraj bhi ye ghar jayega
tu bata ai dile aawara kidhar jayega kidhar jayega

ho chuki sham ab to har parinda ghar gaya
hu jamane me bas mai hi be-aashiya
sham aayegi to suraj bhi ye ghar jayega
tu bata ai dile aawara kidhar jayega kidhar jayega
na jane kya aisi khata ho gayi
bahut jindagani khafa ho gayi
khata ho gayi bahut jindagani khafa ho gayi
sham aayegi to suraj bhi ye ghar jayega
tu bata ai dile aawara kidhar jayega kidhar jayega

When evening descends, the sun retreats to its home,
Tell me, O wandering heart, where will you roam, where will you roam?

What transgression was committed, I cannot recall,
That life itself now holds me in thrall.
What transgression was committed, I cannot recall,
That life itself now holds me in thrall.
A fault was made, a life estranged, the soul withdrawn,
When evening descends, the sun retreats to its home,
Tell me, O wandering heart, where will you roam, where will you roam?

I confess, I am faithless, a love untrue,
If possible, forgive this error I pursue.
When evening descends, the sun retreats to its home,
Tell me, O wandering heart, where will you roam, where will you roam?

The twilight has fallen, each bird has found its nest,
In this world, I alone am without rest.
When evening descends, the sun retreats to its home,
Tell me, O wandering heart, where will you roam, where will you roam?
What transgression was committed, I cannot recall,
That life itself now holds me in thrall.
A fault was made, a life estranged, the soul withdrawn,
When evening descends, the sun retreats to its home,
Tell me, O wandering heart, where will you roam, where will you roam?
