jahaan prem ka, paavan diyara jale
jahaan bole bachan, tab neer bhare
usi angana mein, usi dvaare pe
beete hamara bhi, jeevan raam kare
jahaan prem ka, paavan diyara jale

kaun nadi ki ham hain lahar
kaho aake mila re kinaara
jog likhe bin ham naahi, aisa milan hamaara
kin charanon mein na ghar na pare
jahaan prem ka paavan diyara jale

jis ka naahi apna koi, jo kah de use apna le
us ki karuna us ki daya ka, utare na karaj utaare
jiya jahaan hai, vahi ji mare
jahaan prem ka, paavan diyara jale
jahaan bole bachan, tab neer bhare
usi angana mein, usi dvaare pe
beete hamara bhi, jeevan raam kare
jahaan prem ka, paavan diyara jale

Where love's holy lamp forever glows,
And words like teardrops softly flow,
Within that courtyard, by that door,
May my life's journey gently grow,
Where love's holy lamp forever glows.

Of which river are we a wave,
Tell me, to what shore will we now bind?
Without the destined meeting, we won't find,
In whose feet, won't our dwelling fall?
Where love's holy lamp forever glows.

He who has no kin to call his own,
Let him declare us his, embrace,
His compassion, His grace,
No debt of gratitude will ever cease,
Where life resides, there it will die,
Where love's holy lamp forever glows,
And words like teardrops softly flow,
Within that courtyard, by that door,
May my life's journey gently grow,
Where love's holy lamp forever glows.
