in rahon par hum kyun chale hum jo chale tum kyun mile
tum jo mile wo rahein mili
dil ne kaha kya kya hai is gali kya hai us gali
tum udhar chale main idhar chali kyun
kyun na main ruki kyun na tum thame
chalte gaye chalte gaye

in rahon par hum kyun chale hum jo chale tum kyun mile
dil awara dil banjara dar-ba-dar kyun firta mara
jeene ka marz liye ik dar jeeta ik dar haara hara jeeta jeeta hara
khushiyon ka karz liye dar-ba-dar dil dar-ba-dar
besabar dil dar-ba-dar

dil awara dil banjara dar-ba-dar kyun firta mara
jeene ka marz liye ik dar jeeta ik dar hara hara jeeta jeeta hara
khushiyon ka karz liye har dar pe ik soorat ik afsana
har dar pe ik gum bhi hai pehchana
dar-ba-dar dil dar-ba-dar besabar dil dar-ba-dar

dil awara dil banjara dar-ba-dar kyun firta mara
jeene ka marz liye ik dar jeeta ik dar haara hara jeeta jeeta hara
khushiyon ka karz liye zindagi tedhi medhi tedhi andhi si dagar
zindagi tera mera tera tanha sa safar
zindagi do hi palko ban ja humsafar
zindagi duji gali jane kya ho kya khabar

dar-ba-dar dil dar-ba-dar besabar dil dar-ba-dar
dil awara dil banjara dar-ba-dar kyun firta mara
jine ka marz liye ik dar jita ik dar hara hara jita jita hara
khushiyon ka karz liye zindagi tere mere tere naam ki leher
zindagi sahilon pe aaye jaye har pehar
zindagi paar lage thaam le leher
zindagi chooka jo tu hath mein sifar

dar-ba-dar dil dar-ba-dar besabar dil dar-ba-dar
dil awara dil banjara dar-ba-dar kyun firta mara
jeene ka marz liye ik dar jeeta ik dar hara hara jeeta jeeta hara
khushiyon ka karz liye

On these paths, why did we tread?
We who walked, why did you appear?
You who met, those paths revealed.

The heart whispered, what wonders lie
In this lane, and that?
You went that way, I this, why?
Why did I not pause, why did you not stay?
We walked on, on we went.

On these paths, why did we tread?
We who walked, why did you appear?
This vagrant heart, a nomad soul, wandering, lost,
From door to door, why so wounded?
Bearing the disease of living, one door won, another lost,
Lost, won, won, lost.
A debt of joy, from door to door, the heart, from door to door,
Impatient heart, from door to door.

This vagrant heart, a nomad soul, wandering, lost,
From door to door, why so wounded?
Bearing the disease of living, one door won, another lost,
Lost, won, won, lost.
A debt of joy, from door to door, the heart, from door to door,
At every door, a sorrow known,
From door to door, the heart, from door to door, impatient heart, from door to door.

This vagrant heart, a nomad soul, wandering, lost,
From door to door, why so wounded?
Bearing the disease of living, one door won, another lost,
Lost, won, won, lost.
A debt of joy, from door to door, the heart, from door to door,
Life, yours and mine, a lonely journey,
Life, be my companion, in the blink of an eye,
Life, to the next lane, who knows what awaits.

From door to door, the heart, from door to door, impatient heart, from door to door,
This vagrant heart, a nomad soul, wandering, lost,
From door to door, why so wounded?
Bearing the disease of living, one door won, another lost,
Lost, won, won, lost.
A debt of joy, from door to door, the heart, from door to door,
Life, arrives and departs on shores, every moment,
Life, cross over, hold the wave,
Life, if you miss, you hold an empty hand.

From door to door, the heart, from door to door, impatient heart, from door to door,
This vagrant heart, a nomad soul, wandering, lost,
From door to door, why so wounded?
Bearing the disease of living, one door won, another lost,
Lost, won, won, lost.
A debt of joy…
