gali gali mein firata hai tu kyun banake banjara
gali gali mein firata hai tu kyun banake banjara
aa mere dil main bas jaa mere ashik aawara
aa mere dil main bas jaa mere ashik aawara
tera pyar hai ek soneka pinjara o shehjadi
mujhako apani jaan se pyari hai apani aajadi
mujhako apani jaan se pyari hai apani aajadi

mauka hai diwane dil ka khali daman bharale
isa duniya mein jina hai to pyar kisise karale
tere dil ko ched raha hai mera pyar akela
mere dil mein laga hua hai kai gamon ka mela
gali gali mein firata hai tu kyun banake banjara
aa mere dil main bas jaa mere ashik aawara
tera pyar hai ek soneka pinjara o shehjadi
mujhako apani jaan se pyari hai apani aajadi

meri tarah nahi hai koi aisa duniya mein tera
aaja banaja mera sathi hath pakadale mera
mera rasta rok rahi hai tu kaisi diwani
ek jagah main kaise theharu main darya kaa pani
gali gali mein firata hai tu kyun banake banjara
aa mere dil main bas jaa mere ashik aawara
tera pyar hai ek soneka pinjara o shehjadi
mujhako apani jaan se pyari hai apani aajadi

aur kisi se main ye kehati o kuch bhi kar jata
mere ek ishare parto vo hasake mar jata
na main shayar na main ashik na koi diwana
main tujhape nahi marane wala main hu bada sayaana
gali gali mein firata hai tu kyun banake banjara
aa mere dil main bas jaa mere ashik aawara
aa mere dil main bas jaa mere ashik aawara
tera pyar hai ek soneka pinjara o shehjadi
mujhako apani jaan se pyari hai apani aajadi
mujhako apani jaan se pyari hai apani aajadi

Why wander lost, a vagrant in each lane?
Why wander lost, a vagrant in each lane?
Come, dwell within my heart, my restless one.
Come, dwell within my heart, my restless one.
Your love, a gilded cage, oh princess fair,
And freedom is the breath I choose to wear.
And freedom is the breath I choose to wear.

The moment calls, the heart's embrace to know,
To fill your empty life, and let love grow.
My love alone now stirs your lonely soul,
Within my heart, a gathering of woe.
Why wander lost, a vagrant in each lane?
Come, dwell within my heart, my restless one.
Your love, a gilded cage, oh princess fair,
And freedom is the breath I choose to wear.

No other holds a love as deep as mine,
Come, be my partner, clasp your hand in mine.
Your love, a gilded cage, oh princess fair,
And freedom is the breath I choose to wear.
Why wander lost, a vagrant in each lane?
Come, dwell within my heart, my restless one.
Your love, a gilded cage, oh princess fair,
And freedom is the breath I choose to wear.

To others, I would say, and they obey,
At my mere gesture, would laugh and pass away.
No poet I, no lover, nor a fool,
I will not die for you, I am not a tool.
Why wander lost, a vagrant in each lane?
Come, dwell within my heart, my restless one.
Come, dwell within my heart, my restless one.
Your love, a gilded cage, oh princess fair,
And freedom is the breath I choose to wear.
And freedom is the breath I choose to wear.
