pardesi sajana re tera desh kaisa hoga
pardesi sajana re tera desh kaisa hoga
dar lage baba dar lage
dar lage baba dar lage
pardes achchha hoga pardesi kaisa hoga
pardes achchha hoga pardesi kaisa hoga
pardesi sajana re tera desh kaisa hoga

kitna pyara pyara tu laage
kitna pyara pyara tu laage
kaise ye sapne hai jaage
haye kaise ye sapne hai jaage
kya haal hoga jab tu mujhse milega
dil pe to mera koi bas na chalega
kya hoga main ye janu na na na na
pardesi sajana re tera desh kaisa hoga

jane dil kyu haye kyu ghabraye
jane dil kyu haye kyu ghabraye
soch ke ye dil tham jaye
haye soch ke ye dil tham jaye
pyar karega ya na pyar karega
mujhpe marega ya na mujhpe marega
dil tera pehchanu na na na na
pardesi sajana re tera desh kaisa hoga

sab begane ek tu hai apna
sab begane ek tu hai apna
sab kuchh mera hai tu sajna
ha sab kuchh mera hai tu sajna
teri hu main teri teri hoke rahungi
sukh de ya dukh de main haske sahungi
pooja karungi teri ha ha ha ha
pardesi sajana re tera desh kaisa hoga
pardesi sajana re tera desh kaisa hoga
dar laage baba dar laage
dar laage baba dar laage
pardes achchha hoga pardesi kaisa hoga
pardes achchha hoga pardesi kaisa hoga
pardesi sajana re tera desh kaisa hoga

Stranger, my love, what land awaits?
Stranger, my love, what land awaits?
Fear grips me, father, fear holds fast,
Fear grips me, father, fear holds fast.
Is your homeland fair? And you, how are you made?
Is your homeland fair? And you, how are you made?
Stranger, my love, what land awaits?

So lovely, you are, in every way,
So lovely, you are, in every way,
How have these dreams now come to stay?
How have these dreams now come to stay?
What fate unfolds when at last we meet?
My heart, it seems, will cease to beat.
What will be, I do not know, no, no, no…
Stranger, my love, what land awaits?

Why does my heart, oh why, now quake?
Why does my heart, oh why, now quake?
This thought, my heart, it will now break.
This thought, my heart, it will now break.
Will love be given, or will it be denied?
Will you love me, or will love be cast aside?
Your heart, I cannot know, no, no, no…
Stranger, my love, what land awaits?

All are strangers, you alone are mine,
All are strangers, you alone are mine,
You are my all, my love, divine.
You are my all, my love, divine.
Yours am I, yours, and yours I’ll stay.
Joy or sorrow, I’ll embrace each day.
I'll worship you, yes, yes, yes, yes…
Stranger, my love, what land awaits?
Stranger, my love, what land awaits?
Fear grips me, father, fear holds fast,
Fear grips me, father, fear holds fast.
Is your homeland fair? And you, how are you made?
Is your homeland fair? And you, how are you made?
Stranger, my love, what land awaits?
