pardesiyo se pardesiyo se puchh
puchh royi mai
pardesiyo se pardesiyo se puchh
puchh royi mai
meraa mahi ja ke kyun nahi
aaya naa aaya
meraa mahi ja ke kyun nahi
aaya naa aaya
nit uski hi yad nit uski
hi yaado me khoyi mai
meraa mahi ja ke kyun nahi aaya naa aaya
meraa mahi ja ke kyun nahi
aya naa aaya pardesiyo se

ishk kare woh jane inn raho
me kitna gam hai
ho ke juda jinda hu rab mere
yahi kya kam hai
dil se dil jod ke woh gaya hay chhod ke
jane kaise kaise ho jane kaise
kaise khvab sanjoyi mai
jane kaise kaise khvab sanjoyi mai
meraa mahi ja ke kyun nahi aaya naa aaya
meraa mahi ja ke kyun nahi
aaya naa aaya pardesiyo se

sunke ya bhim ji ki bat
aaj mharo man dole
dekh ke nachta mor aaj mharo mann dole
duniya ke kuda ko bhul gaya
bas usko pukare pyar
o sudh budh bisaraye baithi
hu hai uska mujhe intzar

rah usi ki dekhe pal pal ye nigodi aankhe
tan ko danse tanhayi ab kate kate nahi rate
ishk me kho gayi kya se kya ho gayi
dhali rat dhali ho dhali rat
dhali nahi soyi mai
dhali rat dhali ho dhali rat
dhali nahi soyi mai
meraa mahi ja ke kyun nahi
aaya naa aaya
meraa mahi ja ke kyun nahi
aaya naa aaya
pardesiyo se pardesiyo se puchh
puchh royi mai
pardesiyo se pardesiyo se puchh
puchh royi mai
meraa mahi ja ke kyun nahi aaya naa aaya
meraa mahi ja ke kyun nahi
aaya naa aaya pardesiyo se

Ask the wanderers, ask them all,
Ask, I wept, I let the teardrops fall.
Ask the wanderers, ask them all,
Ask, I wept, I let the teardrops fall.
My love has gone, why hasn't he
Returned to me, returned to me?
My love has gone, why hasn't he
Returned to me, returned to me?
Each day I'm lost in memories,
Each day I'm lost in reveries.
My love has gone, why hasn't he
Returned to me, returned to me?
My love has gone, why hasn't he
Returned to me, returned to me?
Ask the wanderers, ask them all.

Love, they say, knows these paths of woe,
How much sorrow, only lovers know.
Separated, yet I still live,
Is this not grace that God does give?
Heart to heart, he made a vow,
Then left me here, alone somehow.
How I wove those dreams of old,
How I dreamt, my story told.
My love has gone, why hasn't he
Returned to me, returned to me?
My love has gone, why hasn't he
Returned to me, returned to me?
Ask the wanderers, ask them all.

Hearing tales of Bhima's plight,
My heart today takes flight.
Seeing peacocks dance and preen,
My heart feels what they have seen.
I've forgotten all the world,
Forgotten God, my soul unfurled.
Only him I call and yearn,
For his love, my spirit will burn.
Lost to all, I sit and wait,
For his presence, sealed by fate.

For his path, my eyes now strain,
Every moment, in the rain.
Loneliness now stings my soul,
Nights are long, beyond control.
Lost in love, I've changed so much,
Dawn arrives, I cannot touch.
Dawn arrives, I cannot rest,
Dawn arrives, within my breast.
My love has gone, why hasn't he
Returned to me, returned to me?
My love has gone, why hasn't he
Returned to me, returned to me?
Ask the wanderers, ask them all,
Ask, I wept, I let the teardrops fall.
Ask the wanderers, ask them all,
Ask, I wept, I let the teardrops fall.
My love has gone, why hasn't he
Returned to me, returned to me?
My love has gone, why hasn't he
Returned to me, returned to me?
Ask the wanderers, ask them all.
