o mere prem nagar ke raja
ab to aaja re
ek dukhiyaaran ke dware
teri dulhan pukare
teri jigan pukare
bichhde huye ho gaya jamana
o preetam pyare
sajan ek jhalk dikha ja re
teri dulhan pukaare
teri jogan pukare
aaja re re aaja re

jagat le pinjare me jo tadpati
main hu wo ek maina
main hu wo ek maina
muddat se hai sawan bhaado
mere vyakul naina
mere vyakul naina
peela pad gya rang badan ka
ang laga ja re
aaja ang laga ja re
teri dulhan pukaare
teri jogan pukare
aaja re re aaja re

kya se kya ho gai hun main
khud aa dekh le swami
khud aa dekh le swami
kadam kadam par jalim jag ne
di hai mujhe badnaami
di hai mujhe badnaami
jaldi se aa mil der naa kar
o mere rakhware
aaja mere rakhware
teri dulhan pukaare
teri jogan pukare

o mere prem nagar ke raja
ab to aaja re
ek dukhiyaaran ke dware
teri dulhan pukare
teri jigan pukare
aaja re re aaja re

O King of Love's own city, come,
Come to me now,
To this door of sorrow,
Your bride now calls,
Your hermit calls.
A world has passed since we were parted,
O dearest love,
Beloved, show your face to me,
Your bride now calls,
Your hermit calls.
Come now, come.

In the cage of this world, I tremble,
I am that lone mynah,
I am that lone mynah.
For ages, monsoon's rain has fallen,
Within my restless eyes,
Within my restless eyes.
My body's color fades to yellow,
Embrace me, come,
Embrace me, come,
Your bride now calls,
Your hermit calls.
Come now, come.

What have I become, I ask you,
Come, see for yourself, Lord,
Come, see for yourself, Lord.
At every step, a cruel world has brought,
To me, only shame,
To me, only shame.
Hurry, come and meet, delay no more,
O my protector,
Come now, my protector,
Your bride now calls,
Your hermit calls.

O King of Love's own,
City, come,
Come to me now,
To this door of sorrow,
Your bride now calls,
Your hermit calls.
Come now, come.
