hey, kahiye kahan se aana hua
chehra to hai pahchana hua
hey, kahiye kahan se aana hua
chehra to hai pahchana hua
ho sochiye nayi baat koyi
ab ye majak purana hua
wo suhana milan
pyar ki wo lagan
bhul gaye kya sanam
tarram parram parram pam
kahiye kahan se aana hua
chehra to hai pahchana hua
ho sochiye nayi baat koyi
ab ye majak purana hua
wo suhana milan
pyar ki wo lagan
bhul gaye kya sanam

yaad ab aaya re ha
aagre ki kunj galiya
p r pa, p r pa, p r pa, p r pa
yaad ab aaya re ha
aagre ki kunj galiya
pichhe pichhe ladko ki fauj
aage aage tum meri jaan
phir lage the gale, tajmahal tale
bhul gaye kya sanam
tarram parram parram pam
kahiye kahan se aana hua
chehra to hai pahchana hua
ho sochiye nayi baat koyi
ab ye majak purana hua
aaine me kabhi, dekh lete chhabi
bhul gaye kya sanam

yaad hai sawan ki rumjhum
jab the mere pyar me gum
p r pa, p r pa, p r pa, p r pa
yaad hai sawan ki rumjhum
jab the mere pyar me gum
maar ke thokar apno ko
ghar se bhag liye the tum
phir humari chhadi, yaar kaisi padi
bhul gaye kya sanam
tarram parram parram pam
kahiye kahan se aana hua
chehra to hai pahchana hua
ho sochiye nayi baat koyi
ab ye majak purana hua
la ll lla
la ll lla
la ll la lla
tarram parram parram pam
kahiye kahan se aana hua
chehra to hai pahchana hua
are are ye to asli tapak pade
kahiye kahan se aana hua
chehra to hai pahchana hua

Tell me, from whence does your arrival stem?
Your face, a familiar emblem.
Tell me, from whence does your arrival stem?
Your face, a familiar emblem.
Think, a fresh word, newly spun,
This jest, its season now outrun.
That sweet reunion,
Love's fervent communion,
Have you forgotten, my beloved one?
Tararumpum pum pum.
Tell me, from whence does your arrival stem?
Your face, a familiar emblem.
Think, a fresh word, newly spun,
This jest, its season now outrun.
That sweet reunion,
Love's fervent communion,
Have you forgotten, my beloved one?

Now memory stirs, yes, it does,
Of Agra's hidden avenues.
Pa ra pa, pa ra pa, pa ra pa, pa ra pa.
Now memory stirs, yes, it does,
Of Agra's hidden avenues.
A band of boys, a trailing throng,
You, my life, at the forefront, along.
Then, embraced, beneath the Taj's stone grace,
Have you forgotten, my beloved's face?
Tararumpum pum pum.
Tell me, from whence does your arrival stem?
Your face, a familiar emblem.
Think, a fresh word, newly spun,
This jest, its season now outrun.
In a mirror's gaze, a glimpse of grace,
Have you forgotten, my beloved's face?

Remember the monsoon's soft cascade,
When in my love, your heart was swayed?
Pa ra pa, pa ra pa, pa ra pa, pa ra pa.
Remember the monsoon's soft cascade,
When in my love, your heart was swayed?
Ignoring kin, their scornful plight,
You fled your home into the night.
Then, the beating I received, oh friend,
Have you forgotten, my beloved's end?
Tararumpum pum pum.
Tell me, from whence does your arrival stem?
Your face, a familiar emblem.
Think, a fresh word, newly spun,
This jest, its season now outrun.
La la la la,
La la la la,
La la la la la.
Tararumpum pum pum.
Tell me, from whence does your arrival stem?
Your face, a familiar emblem.
Oh, oh, the real tears now descend,
Tell me, from whence does your arrival stem?
Your face, a familiar emblem.
