jana hai to chali hi jana
aana ho to aa jana guiya

khali hai najre khali nahar hai
khali hai duniya va re va duniya

chali hi jana re guiya chali hi jana

apne aap fakiri dil mein hai thahri

sapne hai dhokhe sapne ke ghar
sapne hai rate sapne shahar hai
sapno ki khilti hai suiyan guiyan
sapno ka koun thikana
sapno ka koun thikana
sapno ka koun thikana
jana hai to chali hi jana
aana ho to aa jana guiya
apne aap fakiri dil mein hai thahri
piya ka koun thikan

basti ka koun thikana
basti ka koun thikana
basti ka koun thikana
basti ka koun thikana
basti ka koun thikana
basti ka koun thikana

If you must depart, then depart you must,
If you must arrive, then arrive, friend.
The mendicant’s spirit dwells within my heart,
Where is my Beloved to be found?
Where is my Beloved to be found?
Where is my Beloved to be found?
Where is my Beloved to be found?

Empty are the roads, the cities bare,
Empty are the gazes, an empty stream.
Empty the world, ah, this world of ours,
Where is your dwelling to be found?
Where is the world’s dwelling to be found?
Depart you must, friend, depart you must,
Depart you must, friend,
The mendicant’s spirit dwells within my heart.

Dreams are deceptions, houses of dreams,
Dreams are the nights, cities of dream.
Dreams are stitched by needles, friend,
Where is the dwelling of dreams to be found?
Where is the dwelling of dreams to be found?
Where is the dwelling of dreams to be found?
If you must depart, then depart you must,
If you must arrive, then arrive, friend.
The mendicant’s spirit dwells within my heart,
Where is my Beloved to be found?
Where is my Beloved to be found?
Where is my Beloved to be found?
Where is my Beloved to be found?

You did not speak, nor did I hear,
Who will be the tales that dwell in our hearts?
Where is the dwelling of the village to be found?
Friend, where is the dwelling of the village to be found?
Where is the dwelling of the village to be found?
Where is the dwelling of the village to be found?
Where is the dwelling of the village to be found?
Where is the dwelling of the village to be found?
Where is the dwelling of the village to be found?
Where is the dwelling of the village to be found?
