rafta rafta chal chal rafta rafta
rafta rafta chal chal rafta rafta
naye musafir safar purana
koi na jane kaha hain jaana
sang sang sair karane ke liye main chala
najare mere yaar hain, dekho gulo se guljaar hain
naye musafir safar purana
koi na jane kaha hain jaana
sang sang sair karane ke liye main chala
najare mere yaar hain, dekho gulo se guljaar hain

nadiyo ki lahro me, taar chhnakte hain sargam ke
thandi thandi chhanw, chhote chhote gaon
chhote chhote gaon, thandi thandi chhanw
saare karishme hain mausam ke
rafta rafta chal chal rafta rafta
rafta rafta chal chal rafta rafta
ho kaliyo ki khushbu se, pyaar ki wadi mahakti thain
lambe lambe tad, unche ye pahad
unche ye pahad, lambe lambe tad
koyal saj ke chahkti hain
sunaye bulbul naya tarana
koi na jane kaha hain jaana
sang sang sair karane ke liye main chala
najare mere yaar hain, dekho gulo se guljaar hain

purwayiya bahati hain, jivan deti hain sonso ko
mithi mithi dhup, bhola bhala rup
bhola bhala rup, mithi mithi dhup
kitana lubhati hain aankho ko
rafta rafta chal chal rafta rafta
rafta rafta chal chal rafta rafta

o suraj ki ye kirane, roj subah le aati hain
aata nahi kal, jaane wala pal
jaane wala pal, aata nahi kal
waqt ki najre batati hain
bada suhana ye aahsiyana
koi na jane kaha hain jaana
sang sang sair karane ke liye main chala
najare mere yaar hain, dekho gulo se guljaar hain
rafta rafta chal chal rafta rafta
rafta rafta chal chal rafta rafta
rafta rafta chal chal rafta rafta
rafta rafta chal chal rafta rafta

Slowly, slowly, walk on slowly
Slowly, slowly, walk on slowly
New traveler, journey old,
None but the soul, where to unfold?
To walk with you, to show the way, I go,
My friends are sights, the flowers glow.
New traveler, journey old,
None but the soul, where to unfold?
To walk with you, to show the way, I go,
My friends are sights, the flowers glow.

In river waves, strings of music chime,
Cool shade descends, a village small,
A village small, cool shade does call,
All wonders woven by time.
Slowly, slowly, walk on slowly
Slowly, slowly, walk on slowly
From buds of scent, love's valley breathes,
Tall palms rise, mountains high,
Mountains high, palms touch the sky,
The cuckoo's song, it weaves.
The nightingale sings a new refrain,
None but the soul, where to remain?
To walk with you, to show the way, I go,
My friends are sights, the flowers glow.

East wind blows, life breathes in the breath,
Sweet sunbeams kiss, a simple face,
A simple face, the sun's warm grace,
How much it woos, until death.
Slowly, slowly, walk on slowly
Slowly, slowly, walk on slowly

Oh, sun's bright rays, each morn they bring,
Tomorrow unseen, the moment's flight,
The moment's flight, no day or night,
Time's gaze reveals, the song they sing.
A home so fair, beyond compare,
None but the soul, where to ensnare?
To walk with you, to show the way, I go,
My friends are sights, the flowers glow.
Slowly, slowly, walk on slowly
Slowly, slowly, walk on slowly
Slowly, slowly, walk on slowly
Slowly, slowly, walk on slowly
