pukaartaa chalaa hoon main
gali gali bahaar ki
bas ek chhaanv zulf ki
bas ik nigaah pyaar ki
pukaartaa chalaa hoon main
gali gali bahaar ki
bas ek chhaanv zulf ki
bas ik nigaah pyaar ki
pukaartaa chalaa hoon main

ye dillagi ye shokhiyaan salaam ki
yahi to baat ho rahii hai kaam ki
koi to mud ke dekh lega is taraf
koi nazar to hogi mere naam ki
pukaartaa chalaa hoon main
gali gali bahaar ki
bas ek chhaanv zulf ki
bas ik nigaah pyaar ki
pukaartaa chalaa hoon main

suni meri sadaa to kis yaqeen se
ghataa utar ke aa gayi zameen pe
rahi yahi lagan to ai dil-e-javaan
asar bhi ho rahega ik haseen pe
pukaartaa chalaa hoon main
gali gali bahaar ki
bas ek chhaanv zulf ki
bas ik nigaah pyaar ki
pukaartaa chalaa hoon main

I wander, calling out,
through streets where blooms unfold,
for a shade cast by tresses,
a glance of love, to hold.
I wander, calling out.

This flirtation, this saucy greeting,
here lies the heart of what I'm seeking.
Surely someone will turn,
a gaze, for me, to keep.
I wander, calling out.

When my voice was heard, with such faith,
a cloud descended, touched the earth.
If this longing stays, young heart,
a beautiful one will feel the birth
of my words, as I wander on.
