bin manjil ka rahi hu mai bin manjil ka rahi hu mai
apni manjil aap hu awara baap hu awara baap hu
bin manjil ka rahi hu mai apni manjil aap hu
awara baap hu awara baap hu

mujhe khushi ne gale laga kar gum ke ghar me chhod a
are re re re re har rahi ne mar ke pathar
shesha ye dil toda maine dil ke tukde chunkar
phir apna dil kyu joda dekh ke apne dil ke tukde
roya rato raat hu awara baap hu awara baap hu

koi na samjhe koi na jane mai kyu hua awara
kya khoya hai jise dhundne phiru mai mara mara
apno se begana kar gayi waqt ki bahti dhara
aaho ka tufan kabhi mai ashko ka sailab hu
awara baap hu awara baap hu

meri halat dekh ke koi meri hasi udaye
mere dil ke jakham kurede unpe namak girayae
aise hamrahi se koi kaise sath nibhaye
maine us pe kiya barosha isiliye barbaad hu
awara baap hu awara baap hu bin manjil ka rahi hu mai
apni manjil aap hu awara baap hu awara baap hu

A traveler I am, without a home,
My destination, I alone become.
A wandering father, lost and known,
A traveler I am, without a throne.
My destination, I alone become.
A wandering father, lost and shown.

Joy embraced me, then left me in grief's keep,
Each passerby, a stone to break my sleep.
Shattered my heart, a fractured heap,
Why did I gather the pieces deep?
Seeing my heart's broken keep,
I wept through nights, in sorrow steep.
A wandering father, lost and steep.

None understand, none truly see,
Why wander lost, eternally?
What vanished treasure do I seek, so free?
Time's flowing current, estranged me.
From my own kin, it set me free.
A tempest of sighs, a flood of tears, you see,
A wandering father, lost, like me.

My plight invites mockery's sting,
They poke the wounds my heart does bring,
Salt upon the hurt, the sorrow they fling.
How can one travel, when companionship won't sing?
I trusted them, the ruin they bring,
A wandering father, in all I sing.
A traveler I am, without a home,
My destination, I alone become.
A wandering father, lost and shown.
