aawaragi hamari pyaari si thi kabhi jo
vahi aaj hamko rulaane lagi hai
jo bharti thi dil me tarange hamesha
vahi aaj dil ko jalaane lagi hai, aawaragi hamari

na koyi gam na gila na koyi shugah ka nishaan
na koyi gam na gila na koyi shugah ka nishaan
paayi thi har khushi har suqun hamko thaa
nagme the bahaaro ke tarannum har kahi
phir bhi kyo ham bhatka kiye yah tu hi bata aawaragi, aawaragi
aawaragi hamari pyaari si thi kabhi jo
vahi aaj hamko rulaane lagi hai
jo bharti thi dil me tarange hamesha
vahi aaj dil ko jalaane lagi hai, aawaragi hamari

khaamoshiya hai har taraf, tanyhaaiya hai har taraf
khaamoshiya hai har taraf, tanyhaaiya hai har taraf
yaado ke bhanvar se ab kaise nikle
saathi na raha koyi na koyi hamsafar
zindagi ke safe par likhne ko hai ab to bas aawaragi, aawaragi
aawaragi hamari pyaari si thi kabhi jo
vahi aaj hamko rulaane lagi hai
jo bharti thi dil me tarange hamesha
vahi aaj dil ko jalaane lagi hai, aawaragi hamari

Our wandering, once so dear,
Now weeps a desolate tear.
That which once filled the heart with tides,
Now sets the very soul ablaze, our wandering.

No sorrow then, no grievance's trace,
No sign of fret, no empty space.
We tasted joy, found solace deep,
With songs of spring, where melodies sleep.
Yet why did we stray, oh tell us, why, oh wandering, wandering?
Our wandering, once so dear,
Now weeps a desolate tear.
That which once filled the heart with tides,
Now sets the very soul ablaze, our wandering.

Silence reigns, on every side,
Loneliness, where shadows hide.
How can we now escape the whirl
Of memories, our spirits unfurl?
No companion left, no journey's mate,
Upon life's page, to seal our fate: wandering, wandering.
Our wandering, once so dear,
Now weeps a desolate tear.
That which once filled the heart with tides,
Now sets the very soul ablaze, our wandering.
