o pakhi pakhi pardeshi
(o, the visitor from a distant country, you are like a bird)

pakhi pakhi pardeshi
pakhi pakhi pardeshi pakhi pakhi pardeshi
pakhi pakhi pardeshi pakhi pakhi pardeshi
pakhi pakhi pardeshi

e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se
(o stranger, you also call me sometime from somewhere)

e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se

main yaha tukdo mein jee raha hu
(i am living here just in pieces)

main yaha tukdo mein jee raha hu

tu kahi tukdo mein jee rahi hai
(you are living somewhere in pieces)

e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se
e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se

roj roj resham si hawa
(day by day, the wind which is like silk)

aate jaate kahti hai bata
(whenever it comes and goes, it  asks me)

resham si hawa kehti hai bata
(the silken wind asks me)

wo jo doodh dhuli masoom kali wo hai kaha kaha hai
(that she, who is as fair as if she bathes in milk, she, who is as innocent as a flower-bud, where is she, where she is)

wo roshani kaha hai wo jaan si kaha hai
(where is she who is like a beam of light, where is she who is like my life)

main adhoora tu adhoori jee rahi hai
(i am incomplete, you are living incomplete)

e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se
e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se
main yaha tukdo mein jee raha hu
main yaha tukdo mein jee raha hu
tu kahi tukdo mein jee rahi hai
e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se
pakhi pakhi pardeshi pakhi pakhi pardeshi
pakhi pakhi pardeshi pakhi pakhi pardeshi

tu to nahin hai lekin teri muskrahate hain
(you are not here, still, your smiles are here)

chehra kahi nahi hai par teri aahte hain
(your face is not visible anywhere, still, some sounds hinting at your presence are here)

tu hai kaha kaha hai tera nisha kaha hai
(where are you, where are you, where is the sign of you presence)

mera jaha kaha hai
(where is my world)

main adhoora tu adhoori jee rahi hai

e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se
e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se
main yaha tukdo mein jee raha hu
main yaha tukdo mein jee raha hu
tu kahi tukdo mein jee rahi hai
e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se
