mai ek panchi matwala re matwala or nirala re
mera is dunia ke bag me aana jana re
mai ek panchi matwala re matwala or nirala re
mera is dunia ke bag me aana jana re

dur gagan ka panchi hu mai dur thikana mera
dur gagan ka panchi hu mai dur thikana mera
is bagiya ki dal par mera ek pal rain basera
hichkole khau cha chahau gungunau
badlo ke sang sang ud ud jau
mai apne aap me bhola re matwala or nirala re
mera is dunia ke bag me aana jana re
mai ek panchi matwala re matwala or nirala re
mera is dunia ke bag me aana jana re

I am a bird, wildly free, unbound, a marvel to see,
My coming and going in the garden of this world, you see.
I am a bird, wildly free, unbound, a marvel to see,
My coming and going in the garden of this world, you see.

From distant skies, my home unknown,
A fleeting rest on branches shown.
I sway, I sing, I long to soar,
With clouds, I fly and evermore.
I am simple at heart, wildly free, unbound, a marvel to see,
My coming and going in the garden of this world, you see.
I am a bird, wildly free, unbound, a marvel to see,
My coming and going in the garden of this world, you see.
