bichhade huye paradesi
bichhade huye paradesi ik baar to aana tu
jab aankh milaayi hai nazare na churaana tu
bichhade huye paradesi

vaade bhi kiye tune khaayi thi qasam meri
vaade bhi kiye tune khaayi thi qasam meri
vaado pe hi jiti hu hai aas mujhe teri
vaado pe hi jiti hu hai aas mujhe teri
itni hai aarazu meri
itni hai aarazu meri mujhko na bhulaana tu
jab aankh milaayi hai nazare na churaana tu
bichhade huye paradesi

duniyaa mujhe chhine hai sabne mujhe ghera hai
duniyaa mujhe chhine hai sabne mujhe ghera hai
aur meri zubaan par to bas naam hi tera hai
aur meri zubaan par to bas naam hi tera hai
duniya na hanse mujh par
duniya na hanse mujh par itna na rulaana tu
jab aankh milaayi hai nazare na churaana tu
bichhade huye paradesi

gairo kaa na ho jaana jab apna banaaya hai
gairo kaa na ho jaana jab apna banaaya hai
paas aa ke na kho jaana jab dil me basaaya hai
paas aa ke na kho jaana jab dil me basaaya hai
jo baat kahi tune
jo baat kahi tune vo baat nibhaana tu
jab aankh milaayi hai nazare na churaana tu
bichhade huye paradesi
bichhade huye paradesi ik baar to aana tu
jab aankh milaayi hai nazare na churaana tu
bichhade huye paradesi

Lost traveler, far from home,
return to me, just once, roam.
You met my gaze, then turned away,
lost traveler, come what may.

Promises sworn, oaths you did take,
promises, the life I make.
Hope's tendrils cling, for you I yearn,
hope's tendrils cling, for you to return.
This is my only plea,
this is my only plea, forget not me.
You met my gaze, then turned away,
lost traveler, come what may.

The world steals me, all encircle,
the world steals me, all encircle.
My tongue repeats your name alone,
my tongue repeats your name alone.
Let not the world's laughter resound,
let not the world's laughter resound, do not make me weep.
You met my gaze, then turned away,
lost traveler, come what may.

Do not become another's, when you're mine,
do not become another's, when you're mine.
Do not vanish when heart's entwined,
do not vanish when heart's entwined.
The word you spoke,
the word you spoke, keep that vow, hold it true.
You met my gaze, then turned away,
lost traveler, come what may.
Lost traveler, far from home,
return to me, just once, roam.
You met my gaze, then turned away,
lost traveler, come what may.
