phir wo hi raaste phir wo hi raah gujar
jane ho ya na ho mera ghar wo nagar
phir wo hi raaste phir wo hi raah gujar
jane ho ya na ho mera ghar wo nagar

ye kahani nahi jo suna dunga main
zindagani nahi jo ganwa dunga main
chhanv bhi dhup ki tarah gujri meri
ab jo diwar aaye goira dunga main
phir wo hi raaste phir wo hi raah gujar
jane ho ya na ho mera ghar wo nagar

tera aanchal raha aasma ki tarah
sare mausam gaye hai khiza ki tarah
tera aanchal raha aasma ki tarah
sare mausam gaye hai khiza ki tarah
saye ki tarah sab dur hote gaye
sirf khushboo rahi ek maa ki tarah
phir wo hi raaste phir wo hi raah gujar
jane ho ya na ho mera ghar wo nagar

jinme khela tha main meri galiya wahi
kya meri muntzir hai ke aau kabhi
wo mere sath patange meri
mere hatho ko chumengi aakar kabhi
phir wo hi raaste phir wo hi raah gujar
jane ho ya na ho mera ghar wo nagar

Again the paths, again the familiar way,
Will that city be home, or forever stray?
Again the paths, again the familiar way,
Will that city be home, or forever stray?

This is no tale I'll simply relate,
No life to squander, sealed by fate.
Even shadows passed, like sunlight's gleam,
Now, if a wall appears, I'll break its frame.
Again the paths, again the familiar way,
Will that city be home, or forever stray?

Your embrace, a sky's unending grace,
Seasons departed, with autumn's trace.
Your embrace, a sky's unending grace,
Seasons departed, with autumn's trace.
Like shadows, all have drifted far,
Only fragrance lingers, a mother's star.
Again the paths, again the familiar way,
Will that city be home, or forever stray?

The lanes where I played, still standing there,
Do they await, for my return and care?
My kites will fly alongside me,
And kiss my hands, eternally free.
Again the paths, again the familiar way,
Will that city be home, or forever stray?
