pardeshiya tere desh me dil is tarha milta hai kya
batla zara tere desh me pyar is tarha milta hai kya
meri janiya tere desh me teer is tarha chalta hai kya
batla zara tere desh me rup is tarha khilta hai kya pardeshiya

nak me nathni ha kan me bali bindiya ka ye tara
resham ki ye ho ghaghra choli dekh kahi dil hara
arey rang tera aisa nirala kuch kala kuch gora
jadugar hai haye aankhe teri tu hai ek lutera
pardeshiya tere desh me dil is tarha milta hai kya pardeshiya

mausam bhiga mahka mahka mast pawan lehrayi
arey chori chori chhuke sajan ko arey leke sandesha aayi
mai hu diwana hum bahka bahka masti anokhi chhayi
kano me kah de ho kya kahti hai tujhse pawan purwai
pardeshiya tere desh me dil is tarha milta hai kya
meri janiya tere desh me tir is tarha chalta hai kya meri janiya

In your land, stranger, does the heart meet thus?
Tell me, in your realm, does love ignite like this?
My love, in your domain, do arrows fly so true?
Whisper, in your world, does beauty bloom anew?
Stranger...

A nose-ring's gleam, earrings that sway, a star of bindis bright,
Silk whispers of a skirt, a bodice steals the light.
Oh, your hues are strange, a blend of dark and fair,
A sorcerer's gaze, your eyes, a thief beyond compare.
Stranger... does the heart meet thus?

The season weeps, perfumed, the merry wind does roam,
Stealing a touch, a lover's stolen message home.
I, a madman, lost, swept up in a joy unknown,
What does the ancient wind whisper to you alone?
Stranger, does the heart meet thus?
My love, do arrows fly so true?
My love...
