aao karib aao
na yu dur dur jao aao karib aao
na yu dur dur jao meri jaan par bani hai
meri jaan muskurao aao meri jaan karib aao

mahfil me roshni hai dil me to hai andhera
tum jo pukar lo to ho jayega savera
shabnam ki boond bankar
gul ko gale lagao sabnam ki boond bankar
gul ko gale lagao aao karib aao

mere dil me dheere dheere
ek dhua sa uth raha hai jaise koi musafir
sare aam luth raha hai baki safar me humko
mere humsafar bachao baki safar me humko
mere humsafar bachao aao karib aao

teri berukhi ke sadme is me ek ada hai
maine to itna jana tu hi mera khuda hai
tu hi mera khuda hai barso ki pyas meri
kaise bhi ab bhujao barso ki pyas meri
kaise bhi ab bhujao aao karib aao
na yu dur dur jao meri jaan par bani hai
meri jaan muskurao aao meri jaan karib aao

Come closer, come closer,
Don't drift so far away, come closer.
Don't drift so far away, my life hangs in the balance.
My love, smile, come, my love, come closer.

The gathering is bright, but my heart is dark.
If you call out, dawn will break.
Like a dewdrop,
Embrace the rose, like a dewdrop,
Embrace the rose, come closer.

Slowly, in my heart,
Smoke is rising, like a traveler
Being robbed in the open. Save us
On the remaining journey, my companion.
Save us on the remaining journey,
My companion, come closer.

Your indifference holds a certain grace.
I have only known this: You are my God.
You are my God. My thirst of years,
Quench it now, somehow. My thirst of years,
Quench it now, somehow, come closer.
Don't drift so far away, my life hangs in the balance.
My love, smile, come, my love, come closer.
