ho ab ghar aa ja
aa ja re pardesi baalam
kya bharosa ab ke
bin mile kahi mar jaaye na hum
ho ab ghar aa ja

chaar din ke jag ke mele
chaar din ke jag ke mele
jeete ji ke saare jhamele
jeete ji ke, ye saare jhamele
jab hum hi na honge fir kya karoge baalam
ho ab ghar aa ja
aa ja re pardesi baalam
kya bharosa ab ke
bin mile kahi mar jaaye na hum
ho ab ghar aa ja

sada kisne yaha rahna hai, yaha rahna
apna to yahi kahna hai, yahi kahna
ghar ki aadi achhi, bahar ki taari se
tohe meri kasam mil jana birha ki maari se
jab hum hi na honge fir kya karoge baalam
ho ab ghar aa ja
aa ja re pardesi baalam
kya bharosa ab ke
bin mile kahi mar jaaye na hum
ho ab ghar aa ja

Come home now,
come, my love, stranger, come home.
What assurance is there now
that we won't die without meeting?
Oh, come home now.

This world, a fair of but four days,
a fair of but four days.
Life's trials, all, in these days,
all trials, in these days.
When I am gone, what then, my love, will you do?
Oh, come home now,
come, my love, stranger, come home.
What assurance is there now
that we won't die without meeting?
Oh, come home now.

Who stays forever, here, forever?
This is all I say, I say,
Better the home's beginning than the praise from outside.
I swear by you, come back to me, wounded by separation.
When I am gone, what then, my love, will you do?
Oh, come home now,
come, my love, stranger, come home.
What assurance is there now
that we won't die without meeting?
Oh, come home now.
