sham bhai ghar aa jaa
sham bhai ghar aa jaa
ho raja ghar aaja ghar aaja
sham bhai ghar aa jaa
sham bhai ghar aa jaa
ho raja ghar aaja ghar aaja

puch rahi hai dil ki dhadkan
kab aayenge tere sajan
kab aayenge tere sajan
isko main kaise samjhau
isko main kaise samjhau
itni bat bata ja itni bat bata ja
sham bhai ghar aa jaa
sham bhai ghar aa jaa
ho raja ghar aaja ghar aaja

neele gagan ke sundar tare
ek ek karke gin liye sare
ek ek karke gin liye sare
ab jee ko kaise bahlau
ab jee ko kaise bahlau
bas itna samjha ja bas itna samjha ja
sham bhai ghar aa jaa
sham bhai ghar aa jaa
ho raja ghar aaja ghar aaja

Evening descends, come home now,
Evening descends, come home now,
Oh king, come home, come home,
Evening descends, come home now,
Evening descends, come home now,
Oh king, come home, come home.

My heart's rhythm asks and pleads,
When will my beloved return to me?
When will my beloved return to me?
How do I soothe its burning plea?
How do I soothe its burning plea?
Just tell me this, only this,
Evening descends, come home now,
Evening descends, come home now,
Oh king, come home, come home.

The azure sky, its stars so bright,
I've counted each one in the night,
I've counted each one in the night,
How now do I calm my weary soul?
How now do I calm my weary soul?
Just understand this, only this,
Evening descends, come home now,
Evening descends, come home now,
Oh king, come home, come home.
