janeman janeja sun meri dasta
janeman janeja sun meri dasta
jab se dekha tumhe dil ka hai ye sama
jindgi ki kasam ashiki ki kasam
har khushi ki kasam har kisi ki kasam
tere bin jo jiye vo bada bewfa

pahle najre mili fir ye dil mil gaye
dil ke andar kahi phul se khil gaye
na maine kiya na tune kiya magar pyar ho hi gya
na maine diya na tune diya magar dil tha kho hi gya
jindgi ki kasam ashiki ki kasam
har khushi ki kasam har kisi ki kasam
tere bin jo jiye vo bada bewfa
janeman janeja sun meri dasta
jab se dekha tumhe dil ka hai ye sama

maine wada kiya jaan ko de diya
naam rab ka liya yaad tujhko kiya
tere pyar me teri yaad me mera haal ye ho gya
kaha manjile kaha raste tujhe pa ke mai kho gya
jindgi ki kasam ashiki ki kasam
har khushi ki kasam har kisi ki kasam
tere bin jo jiye vo bada bewfa
janeman janeja sun meri dasta
jab se dekha tumhe dil ka hai ye sama

Beloved, my life, hear now my tale,
Beloved, my life, hear now my tale,
Since first I saw you, my heart does sail,
I swear by life, I swear by love’s sweet art,
I swear by joy, and every beating heart,
Life without you, a traitor's cold trail.

First gazes met, then hearts entwined as one,
Within the soul, new blossoms had begun,
Neither of us, began this sweet game, but love bloomed in the sun,
Neither gave, nor sought to claim, but our hearts were overcome,
I swear by life, I swear by love’s sweet art,
I swear by joy, and every beating heart,
Life without you, a traitor's cold trail,
Beloved, my life, hear now my tale,
Since first I saw you, my heart does sail.

I made a vow, my soul I did impart,
Took God’s dear name, and held you in my heart,
In your love, in your memory, my soul has begun to fall apart,
Where are the goals, the paths that lead? Found in you, I depart,
I swear by life, I swear by love’s sweet art,
I swear by joy, and every beating heart,
Life without you, a traitor's cold trail,
Beloved, my life, hear now my tale,
Since first I saw you, my heart does sail.
