dil mere ud ja dil mere ud ja
mohabbat ka paigam leke
bichhde hue sajan ka
salam leke ud ja salam leke ud ja
mera salam leke ud ja

jab chand sitaro pe rato ko
saukh ishare hote hai ishare hote hai
hum dard daba kar sine me ek
chupke chupke rote hai chhupke rote hai
kahna unse jake mera nam leke
bichhde hue sajan ka
salam leke ud ja salam leke ud ja
mera salam leke ud ja

dard ki duniya dene wale
tumko meri lakh duaye lakh duaye
aasu ek gira dena tum
yad kabhi jo tumko aaye yad aaye
kahna unse jake mera naam leke
bichhde hue sajan ka salam leke ud ja
salam leke ud ja mera salam leke ud ja

My heart, take flight, my heart, take wing,
Bearing love's most tender thing.
A message borne on feathered grace,
From a lover lost, in time and space.
A greeting sent, a whispered plea,
My salutation, wild and free.

When moonlit whispers grace the night,
And stars ignite their silver light,
We hide the ache within the breast,
And weep in silence, unconfessed.
Go now, and whisper, name my name,
A greeting sent, a burning flame.
A lover lost, in fading light,
My salutation, through the night.

O giver of this world of pain,
My blessings fall like gentle rain.
If memory should ever stray,
And bring you back to yesterday,
Let fall a tear, a silent sign,
A greeting sent, a love divine.
A lover lost, in shadowed sleep,
My salutation, secrets keep.
