baabul mora naihar chhuto hi jaye
baabul mora mora naihar chhuto hi jaaye
baabul mora naihar chhuto jaye
baabul mora naihar chhuto hi jaye

char kahar mil mori doliyaan sajaye re
char kahar mil mori doliyaan sajaye re
mora apna begana chhuto jaye
baabul mora naihar chhuto hi jaye

angna to parbat bhaya deori bhai bidesh
angna to parbat bhaya deori bhai bidesh
le babul ghar aapno main chali piya ke desh
baabul mora naihar chhuto jaaye
baabul mora naihar chhuto hi jaaye

My father, my home is slipping away,
My father, my home is slipping away,
My father, my home is slipping away,
My father, my home is slipping away.

Four bearers lift my palanquin to soar,
Four bearers lift my palanquin to soar,
My own, and strangers, all fade from view,
My father, my home is slipping away.

The courtyard transforms to a mountain high,
The doorway, now a foreign shore,
Leaving my father's home, I go, to my love,
My father, my home is slipping away,
My father, my home is slipping away.
