unka ishara jaan se pyara
de gaya dil ko mere sahara
unka ishara jaan se pyara
karke mohabbat ka mujhse wada
keh diya ha ha mai hu tumhara
mai hu tumhara jaan se pyara
de gaya dil ko mere sahara
unka ishara jaan se pyara

jaise naya ek saz bajaya
jaise naya ek geet sunaya
jagi jagi jagi umange
chauki jawani dil ne pukara
jaan se pyara jaan se pyara
de gaya dil ko mere sahara
unka ishara jaan se pyara

khatam hua bachpan ka zamana
pee ki nagariya me ab hai jana
thodi si naiya or badha de
pas hai manzil wo hai kinara
jaan se pyara jaan se pyara
de gaya dil ko mere sahara
unka ishara jaan se pyara

Their gesture, dearer than life,
offered solace to my heart's strife.
Their gesture, dearer than life,
promising love, a binding rife,
whispered, "Yes, yes, I am yours, wife."
"I am yours, dearer than life,"
offered solace to my heart's rife.
Their gesture, dearer than life.

As if a new instrument played,
as if a new song was made.
Awakened, awakened, desires,
youth stirred, my heart declared.
Dearer than life, dearer than life,
offered solace to my heart's strife.
Their gesture, dearer than life.

Childhood's era now takes its leave,
into the city, I now cleave.
A little further, the vessel now leads,
the shore is near, where we believe.
Dearer than life, dearer than life,
offered solace to my heart's strife.
Their gesture, dearer than life.
