ek khwaab ne aankhe kholi hai
kya mod aaya hai kahaani me
woh bheeg rahi hai baarish me
aur aag lagi hai paani me

rab labbha paapiya nu
jihna change kaam na change lagde
o kiven pind kajiye
assi chole paake vi nange lagde

o zindagi yu gale aa lagi hai, aa lagi hai
koi khoya hua barso ke baad aa gaya
o fike fike the din raat mere, saath mere
chhuaa tune toh jeene ka swaad aa gaya
ek tarah ke awara the, ek tarah ki awaargi
diwane toh pehle bhi the ab aur tarah ki diwangi
sajde bichhawan ve
gali gali o gali gali o gali gali
jis sehar vich mera yaar vasda
kamaana painda ae khatke oh khatke
ho itthe rab na koi udhaar labhda

ek khwaab ne aankhe kholi hai
kya mod aaya hai kahani me
woh bheeg rahi hai barish me
aur aag lagi hai paani me

khwabi khwabi si lagti hai duniya
aankho me ye kya bhar raha hai
marne ki aadat lagi thi
kyu jeene ko jee kar raha hai
pehle to begani nagri me
humko kisi ne puchha na tha
sara shehar jab maan gaya to
lagta hai kyu koi rutha na tha
sajde bichhawan ve
o gali gali o gali gali gali gali
jis sehar vich mera yaar vasda
kamana painda ae oh khatke oh khatke
ho itthe rabb na koi udhar labhda

zindagi yu gale aa lagi hai, aa lagi hai
koi khoya hua barso ke baad aa gaya
ek tarah ke awaara the, ek tarah ki awaargi
diwane to pehle bhi thhe ab aur tarah ki diwangi
sajde bichhavan ve, sajde bichhavan ve
o gali gali o gali gali o gali gali
jis sehar vich mera yaar vasda
kamana painda ae o khatke o khatke
ho itthe rab na koi udhar labhda
sajde bichhavan ve
o gali gali o gali gali o gali gali
jis sehar vich mera yaar vasda
kamana painda ae o khatke o khatke
ho itthe rab na koi udhar labhda

A dream awoke its eyes,
A twist the story finds.
She weeps within the rain,
And fire in the waters binds.

God seeks the sinners lost,
Good deeds now feel unkind.
How can we reach that home?
In robes, we're naked, it's defined.

Life embraces, holds so tight, so tight,
A lost one, after years, has found his way.
My days, my nights, they tasted dim, so dim,
You touched, and life's true flavor lit the day.
In a way, we were vagrants, in a vagrant phase,
Madmen we were before, now a different kind of craze.
I'd lay prostrate, I would,
In every lane, O every lane, O every lane,
Of the city where my love resides.
You must earn it, with struggle, oh with struggle,
Here, even God extends no loans besides.

A dream awoke its eyes,
A twist the story finds.
She weeps within the rain,
And fire in the waters binds.

A dream, the world now seems,
What floods the eyes with grace?
An urge for death took hold,
Why does life now I embrace?
Before, in a foreign land,
No one ever knew my name.
When all the city understood,
Why does someone still not claim?
I'd lay prostrate, I would,
In every lane, O every lane, O every lane,
Of the city where my love resides.
You must earn it, with struggle, oh with struggle,
Here, even God extends no loans besides.

You must earn it, with clash, oh with clash,
Here, even God extends no loans besides.
