halke se yu beh raha resha ho jaise ruyi ka
udta hai dekho kahi aasma pe dil kagzi mera
muththi me bhar bhar ke chini ke daane jaise hawa me khule
ho taaro se khechi hai roshan sitare raaho me mere chale
halke se yu beh raha resha ho jaise ruyi ka
udta hai dekho kahi aasmape dil kagzi mera

kholi chanda ne chhatri paido ke pichhe kahi
ham tum chhupke se jake baithenge niche kahi
chain fuko se dhup udaake ham thodasa tin churake
aadha tu aadha main kaid karke rakhle hissa ho jaise khushika
halke se yu beh raha resha ho jaise ruyi ka
udta hai dekho kahi aasma pe dil kagzi mera
dil kagzi mera dil kagzi mera

Like silk, it flows, a whisper light, a cotton's gentle grace,
My paper heart ascends, to seek a distant space.
A handful of sugar grains, dissolved in open air,
Stars, like beacons drawn, illuminate my pathways there.
Like silk, it flows, a thread so fine, a cotton's drifting plea,
My paper heart ascends, to where it longs to be.

The moon unfolds its parasol, behind the sheltering trees,
We'll steal away and hide, beneath the rustling leaves.
With puffs of purest calm, and sunbeams we'll outrun,
A stolen twig, a shared divide, a happiness begun.
Half yours, half mine, a captured joy, a treasure we embrace,
Like silk, it flows, a whisper light, a cotton's gentle grace,
My paper heart ascends, to seek a distant space.
My paper heart, my paper heart.
