ho layi sandesa naa purba sajan
re laut gaye ab badra
ho layi sandesa naa purba sajan
re laut gaye ab badra ho sajna ho sajna

jabse gaya tu pardes sajna
jabse gaya tu pardes sajna
sune hai tabse ye sej angna
ab to khabariya hi kuch bhi naa sajna
bheji naa mehandi naa kajra
ho layi sandesa naa purwa sajna
re laut gaye abb badra ho sajna, sajna

sawan ke, phagun ke sab git bhuli
sawan ke, phagun ke sab git bhuli
ruth manaye ki sab prit bhuli
saj singar ki sab rit bhuli
bhuli naa main tera jana
ho layi sandesa naa purba sajan
re laut gaye ab badra ho sajna ho sajna

din rat palko se chunti rahi main
din rat palko se chunti rahi main
lamho ko taro sa ginti rahi main
sapno ki chadar bunti rahi main
bunke mera man bhi hara
ho layi sandesa naa purba sajan
re laut gaye ab badra ho sajna ho sajna

The east wind brings no word of you, love,
The clouds have turned back, gone astray.
Oh, the east wind brings no word of you, love,
The clouds have turned back, gone away, oh love, oh love.

Since you went away to a foreign land, love,
Since you went away to a foreign land, love,
Empty has been this bed, this courtyard,
No news, not even a whisper, love,
You sent no henna, no kohl for my eyes,
Oh, the east wind brings no word of you, love,
The clouds have turned back, gone astray, oh love, oh love.

I have forgotten the songs of Sawan, of Phagun,
I have forgotten the songs of Sawan, of Phagun,
The coaxing of anger, all the love I have lost,
All the rituals of adornment have been forgotten,
But I have not forgotten your leaving,
Oh, the east wind brings no word of you, love,
The clouds have turned back, gone astray, oh love, oh love.

Day and night, I have gathered moments from my lashes,
Day and night, I have gathered moments from my lashes,
I have counted the moments like stars in the sky,
I have woven a sheet of dreams,
Weaving, my heart has been defeated,
Oh, the east wind brings no word of you, love,
The clouds have turned back, gone astray, oh love, oh love.
