kaisi ajib dawat hai ye mai bin bhulaye mahman
ghar wala hai lapta sab chhod ke sunsan
kaisi ajib dawat hai ye

ajib si dawat hai ye kon kare kiska intjar
mahman bhi najane kab ish ghar ki jimedar
ajib si dawat hai ye
kaisi ajib dawat hai ye

dawat sayad katham hui thi sab log ja rahe hai ghar
sirf bin bulaye khadi hu mai ghar wala jaye kidar
kaisi ajib dawat hai ye bin bhulaye mahman
ghar wala hai lapta sab chhod ke sunsan
kaisi ajib dawat hai ye

A strange feast, this, where I, unbidden, stay,
The host unseen, vanished, the halls in disarray.
A strange feast, this.

A strange feast, this, of whom waits, and for what desire?
Even the guests are lost, unsure of their fire.
A strange feast, this.
A strange feast, this.

Perhaps the feast is done, and all depart their way,
Yet, uninvited, I linger, where does the host stray?
A strange feast, this, where I, unbidden, stay,
The host unseen, vanished, the halls in disarray.
A strange feast, this.
