mere dil ko sajan samjha do
ha ha ji samjha do
ke gadi gadi bhar laye
mere dil ko sajan samjha do
ha ha ji samjha do
ke gadi gadi bhar laye

kaali raate ghar suna mera
kaali raate ghar suna mera
main teri par tu na mera
main teri par tu na mera
meri jaan tumhi batla do
ha ha ji batla do
akeli mohe dar lage
mere dil ko sajan samjha do
ha ha ji samjha do
ke gadi gadi bhar laye

raam kare main tum ban jau
raam kare main tum ban jau
phir bhi na bas mein pyar dikhau
phir bhi na bas mein pyar dikhau
phir kehte phiro unhe lado
ha ha ji unhe lado
ke sari raat ghar na aaye
mere dil ko sajan samjha de
ha ha ji samjha do
ke gadi gadi bhar laye

My heart, Beloved, understand,
Oh yes, oh yes, understand,
That cart upon cart, it carries.
My heart, Beloved, understand,
Oh yes, oh yes, understand,
That cart upon cart, it carries.

Black nights, my home, desolate,
Black nights, my home, desolate,
I am yours, but you are not mine,
I am yours, but you are not mine.
My love, you tell me true,
Oh yes, oh yes, tell me true,
Loneliness frightens me so.
My heart, Beloved, understand,
Oh yes, oh yes, understand,
That cart upon cart, it carries.

May God grant I become you,
May God grant I become you,
Yet still, I would not show love's hold,
Yet still, I would not show love's hold.
Then you would cry, "Leave her be!"
Oh yes, oh yes, leave her be!
"She does not come home all night."
My heart, Beloved, understand,
Oh yes, oh yes, understand,
That cart upon cart, it carries.
