balama mere balama
raha ab kya merei baho me
jane na koi jane na
hum to lute teri raho me
balama

pal pal koi tufan uthe
sahil mera koi nahi
mana ke mai bismil to hu
hasil mera koi nahi
koi fir bhi kabhi kape
mere aansu meri aaho me
balama mere balama
raha ab kya merei baho me
balama

ye to nahi chaht bhari
bato se gam bat a nahi
par kya karu dil se mere
saya tera hat ta nahi
mai to chahu yu hi bhatku
mere balama teri raho me
balama mere balama
raha ab kya merei baho me
jane na koi jane na
hum to lute teri raho me
balama

My beloved, oh my beloved,
What remains within my arms now?
None understands, none knows,
We are lost upon your paths.
My beloved.

Each moment, a tempest arises,
No shore remains for me.
Though I am slain, I accept it,
No victory is mine to claim.
Yet still, someone trembles,
Within my tears, within my sighs.
My beloved, oh my beloved,
What remains within my arms now?
My beloved.

This is not love's embrace,
Sorrow does not lessen with words.
But what can I do, from my heart,
Your shadow does not depart.
I only wish to wander so,
My beloved, upon your paths.
My beloved, oh my beloved,
What remains within my arms now?
None understands, none knows,
We are lost upon your paths.
My beloved.
