main janti hu tum na aaoge kabhi piya
phir bhi tumhari raah me jala rahi deeya
o piya, o piya

lekar phulo ki raat me taro ki aarti
lekar phulo ki raat me taro ki aarti
o devta, o devta
main der se rasta niharti
rasta niharti
malum hai mujhe ke mil na payega jiya
phir bhi tumhari raah me jala rahi deeya
o piya, o piya

main maanti hu tum na pahnoge kabhi ye haar
main maanti hu tum na pahnoge kabhi ye haar
aanchal me sukh jayenge aansu ke har singaar
aansu ke har singaar
kitne hai tute haar ko gale laga liya
phir bhi tumhari raah me jala rahi deeya
o piya, o piya

pure baras me ek din aane ki baat thi
pure baras me ek din aane ki baat thi
is paar aa ,is paar aake
hilmil jane ki baat thi
thi aane ki baat thi
wada kiya tumhi ne, tumhi ne bhula diya
phir bhi tumhari raah me jala rahi deeya
o piya, o piya
main janti hu tum na aaoge kabhi piya
phir bhi tumhari raah me jala rahi deeya
o piya, o piya

I know you'll never come, my love,
Yet still I light the lamp for you, above.
Oh, my love, oh, my love.

With blooms I weave a starry rite,
With blooms I weave a starry rite,
Oh, my god, oh, my god,
I gaze the path in fading light,
The path in fading light.
I know my heart you'll never find,
Yet still I light the lamp for you, my mind.
Oh, my love, oh, my love.

I know you'll never wear this garland I made,
I know you'll never wear this garland I made,
In my veil the tears will fade,
Tears, the adornment I've laid.
So many broken garlands held close, embraced,
Yet still I light the lamp in this space.
Oh, my love, oh, my love.

Once a year, you promised you would appear,
Once a year, you promised you would appear,
Come hither, come hither,
And merge with me, my dear,
You promised you would appear.
You promised, you forgot, I fear,
Yet still I light the lamp, holding you near.
Oh, my love, oh, my love.
I know you'll never come, my love,
Yet still I light the lamp for you, above.
Oh, my love, oh, my love.
