unche gagan me udne ka sapna
hatheli se badal ko chhune ke armaa
unche gagan me udne ka sapna
hatheli se badal ko chhune ke armaa
unche gagan me udne ka sapna
hatheli se badal ko chhune ke armaa
mujhko mitana in faaslo ko
mujhe pankh de do, mujhe pankh de do

kal kal karti nadiya
mere ghar se kyu na gujre
rimjhim rimjhim sheetal sawan
angna kyu na barse
badalna hai sadiyo ke in silsile ko
mujhe pankh de do, mujhe pankh de do

mere talvo ke niche
oas kyu na muskaye
chehre par ek dhuli dhuli si kiran
kyu na lahraye
aazad kar do mere kaafilo ko
mujhe pankh de do, mujhe pankh de do
mujhe pankh de do, mujhe pankh de do
mujhe pankh de do, mujhe pankh de do

To dream of flight in the heavens vast,
To touch the clouds within my grasp,
To dream of flight in the heavens grand,
To touch the clouds with my own hand,
To dream of flight, a soaring plea,
To touch the clouds, and finally be free.
I yearn to erase these endless miles,
Give me wings, oh, give me wings.

Why do the rivers' murmurs not grace,
The threshold of my dwelling place?
Why doesn't the monsoon's gentle rain,
Fall softly on my yard again?
I must reshape these ages long,
Give me wings, oh, give me wings.

Why should the morning dew not gleam,
And smile beneath my waking dream?
Why can't a washed, ethereal light,
Dance on my face, so pure and bright?
Unchain my caravans from this plight,
Give me wings, oh, give me wings.
Give me wings, oh, give me wings.
Give me wings, oh, give me wings.
