kahiye janabe aali kaha rahe
bahut dino ke bad ho mile
ji itne din kaha the tum ye kya hai silsile
kahiye janabe aali kaha rahe
kahiye janabe aali kaha rahe
bahut dino ke bad ho mile
ji itne kaha the tum ye kya hai silsile
kahiye janabe aali kaha rahe

nigah puchti hai khush to hai
milalo hath se hath jo hosh ho
nigah puchti hai khush to hai
milalo hath se hath jo hosh ho
lelo janabe aali mera dil
ye phul hai ise na todiye
ye muft me agar mile ise na chodiye

kahiye kahiye janab e aali kaha rahe
hamare ghar bhi ayiye kabhi kabhi
karenge hum to faisla abhi abhi
hamare ghar bhi ayiye kabhi kabhi
karenge hum to faisla abhi abhi
hamare ghar bhi ayiye kabhi kabhi
karenge hum to faisla abhi abhi
nigah bholi bhali ye kah rahi
na dekhiye hame garur se
tadap kar ke ishq hai hame huzur se
kahiye janabe aali kaha rahe

Where did you wander, noble soul?
Across such gulfs, your absence stole.
We meet again, a weary toll.
Tell me, noble soul, where did you stroll?
Tell me, noble soul, where did you roam?
So many days, so far from home.
These trails of absence, do they come from gloom?
Tell me, noble soul, where did you comb?

My eyes they question, "Are you well?"
If reason reigns, let hands compel.
My eyes they question, "Are you well?"
If reason reigns, let hands compel.
Take, noble soul, this heart of mine,
A fragile bloom, do not decline.
A gift unearned, a light divine.

Where did you wander, noble soul?
Come visit now, within my hall.
A judgment swift, I must enthrall.
Come visit now, within my hall.
A judgment swift, I must enthrall.
Come visit now, within my hall.
A judgment swift, I must enthrall.
These simple eyes, they softly call,
Do not with pride our spirits thrall.
Through yearning love, our souls enthrall.
Where did you wander, noble soul?
