yaad tori aayi mai to chham-chham royi re
prit bhare aansuo ne chunari bhigoyi re chunari bhigoyi
yaad tori aayi mai to chham-chham royi re
prit bhare aansuo ne chunari bhigoyi re chunari bhigoyi
yaad tori aayi mai to

hajaar pahre lage ho magar o mere sathi
mile jo pankh to, mile jo pankh to
panchhi se pahle mai aati
tose bichhad ke mai to pal bhar naa soyi re
prit bhare aansuo ne chunari bhigoyi re chunari bhigoyi
yaad tori aayi mai to

tadap ke aaj tujhe haal-e-dil likha maine
sambhal ke kholna, sambhal ke kholna
khat isme dil rakha maine
chhote se dil me sari duniya samoyi re
prit bhare aansuo ne chunari bhigoyi re chunari bhigoyi
yaad tori aayi mai to chham-chham royi re
prit bhare aansuo ne chunari bhigoyi re chunari bhigoyi
yaad tori aayi mai to

Your memory arrived, and I wept, a silver rain,
Love's tear-filled rivers soaked my shawl again, soaked it again.
Your memory arrived, and I wept.

Though a thousand walls may stand between, O my love,
If wings I had, if wings I had,
I'd soar to you, a dove.
Parted from you, a wink of sleep, I knew not then,
Love's tear-filled rivers soaked my shawl again, soaked it again.
Your memory arrived, and I wept.

Today, with longing, I penned my heart's deep plea,
Unfold with care, unfold with care,
A love-filled letter, you'll see.
Within this small heart, the whole world did convene,
Love's tear-filled rivers soaked my shawl again, soaked it again.
Your memory arrived, and I wept, a silver rain,
Love's tear-filled rivers soaked my shawl again, soaked it again.
Your memory arrived, and I wept.
