Ho Pardesia

(a/e, he-he-re, choree-choree milte hain re chaand-chakori)
O, paradesiya...

Paradesiya, ye sach hai piya
Saba kehthe hain, maine tujko dil de diya
Paradesiya paradesiya ye sach he piya
Saba kehthe hain, maine tujko dil de diya
Main kehtee hoon, "tune mera dil le liya"

Phulon mein, kaliyon mein, gaanv kee galiyon mein
Ham donon badnaam hone lage hai
Nadiya kinaare pe, chhat pe, chaubaare pe
Hum milke hansane-rone lage hain

Sunke piya, sunke piya dhadke jiyaa
Saba kehthe hain, maine tujko dil de diya
Main kehtee hoon, "tune mera dil le liya"

Logon ko kehne do, kehthe hee rahne do
Sach-jhooth hum kyun sabko bataaen?
Main bhee hoon masti mein, too bhee hai masti mein
Aa is khushii mein hum naachein-gaayen

Kisko pata, kisko pata, kya kisne kiya
Saba kehthe hain, tune mera dil le liya
Saba kehthe hain, maine tujko dil de diya

Mera dil kehtha hai, "too dil mein rahata hai"
Mere bhee dil kee kalee khil gayi hai
Teri too jaane re, maane naa maane re
Mujko meri manzil mil gayi

Too mil gaya, too mil gaya mujko piya
Saba kehthe hain, maine tujko dil de diya
Main kehtee hoon, "tune mera dil le liya"

Paradesiya paradesiya ye sach he piya
Saba kehthe hain, maine tujko dil de diya
Main kehtee hoon, "tune mera dil le liya"
