Chorus:
e ajnabi tu bhi kabhii awaaz de kahiin se
Hey stranger, you're calling out from somewhere too


main yahaan TukDo men jii raha huun
I'm living here in pieces


tuu kahiin TukDon men jii rahii hai
somewhere you're living in pieces, too



roz roz resham sii hava aate-jaate kahatii hai bata

Each day, as it comes and goes, the silken wind says, "Tell me!"

resham si hava kahatii hai bata

The silken wind says, "Tell me!"

vo jo duudh dhulii maasuum kalii

The one who is like a pale, innocent flowerbud

vo hai kahaan kahaan hai

that girl, where, where is she?

vo roshanii kahaan hai

Where is her light?

vo jaan si kahaan hai

main adhura tuu adhuri jii rahii hai



Chorus

paakhi paakhi pardesi

Distant bird

tuu to nahiin hai lekin terii muskaraahat hai

You're not here, but your smile is

chehara kahiin nahiin hai par terii aahaTen hai

Your face is nowhere to be found, but the sound of your footsteps are

tuu hai kahaan kahaan hai

Where are you, where?

tera nishaan kahaan hai

Where is there a sign of you,

mera jahaan kahaan hai

where is my world?

main adhura tu adhuri jii rahii hai

I'm incomplete, and you're only half-alive
