ab tere bina mera nahi thikana
ab tere bina mera nahi thikana
o pardesiya ye bhul na jana
o pardesiya ye bhul na jana
ab tere bina mera nahi thikana

maine suna hai log rog laga ke
pyas ka dukh pate hai
maine suna hai log rog laga ke
pyas ka dukh pate hai
yahi bate hum sagri rate
dil ko samjhate hai
yahi bate hum sagri rate
dil ko samjhate hai
dil phir bhi hua begana
ho dil phir bhi hua begana
ab tere bina mera nahi thikana
ab tere bina mera nahi thikana

dekho dekho ji neha lagake
daga na dena
hamari haye na lena
dekho dekho ji neha lagake
daga na dena
hamari haye na lena
mera nanha najuk dil roye
dukhi hoye
dekha jaye mohse na
mera nanha najuk dil roye
dukhi hoye
dekha jaye mohse na
dar lage bura zamana
ho dar lage bura zamana
ab tere bina mera nahi thikana

Without you, my haven is lost, adrift,
Without you, my haven is lost.
O wanderer, forget not this truth,
O wanderer, forget not this truth.
Without you, my haven is lost.

I have heard of those who, through love's affliction,
Find sorrow in the thirst it breeds.
I have heard of those who, through love's affliction,
Find sorrow in the thirst it breeds.
These words we whisper through nights unending,
Trying to console the heart.
These words we whisper through nights unending,
Trying to console the heart.
Yet still, the heart turns stranger, estranged.
Without you, my haven is lost.
Without you, my haven is lost.

Look, oh look, having kindled this fire,
Do not betray.
Do not incur my sorrow's ire.
Look, oh look, having kindled this fire,
Do not betray.
Do not incur my sorrow's ire.
My fragile, tender heart weeps,
Filled with woe.
This parting I cannot bear.
I fear this cruel world's face.
Oh, I fear this cruel world's face.
Without you, my haven is lost.
