are tu kaha kho gaya baalam matwara
mai dhundu tujhe galiya or chobara
tu kaha kho gaya baalam matwara
mai dhundu tujhe galiya or chobara
tu kaha kho gaya baalam matwara
mai dhundu tujhe galiya or chobara

rahe taki aaya na tu darwaje
baih kar hamne to rat bhar
pucha tujhe taro se bhi wo
mere kitna kar wade gaye guzar
phir bhi hai dil me mohabbat jawa
ke jale nas nas me angara
mai dhundu tujhe galiya or chobara
tu kaha kho gaya baalam matwara
mai dhundu tujhe galiya or chobara

nachti firu tere liye naye naye
bhesh me anjane desh me
payal me hai nagme tere ulfat ka
raz hai mere sandesh me
bagon ki hirni mai aayi kyu yaha
ke lage kata tha jag sara
mai dhundu tujhe galiya or chobara
tu kaha kho gaya baalam matwara
mai dhundu tujhe galiya or chobara

koyal bani morni bani sab kuch
bani hu piya mai tere pyar me
naino ke do dipak liye dhunda
karu mai tujhe bago bahar me
duniya na samjhe meri dastan
o deja jakhami dil ko sahara
mai dhundu tujhe galiya or chobara
tu kaha kho gaya baalam matwara
mai dhundu tujhe galiya or chobara

Where did you wander, Beloved, lost in a daze?
I search for you in alleys and in mazes.
Where did you wander, Beloved, lost in a daze?
I search for you in alleys and in mazes.
Where did you wander, Beloved, lost in a daze?
I search for you in alleys and in mazes.

I waited at the door, but you did not appear,
And through the night, I sat, my heart in fear.
I asked the stars, how many vows were kept?
How many promises had softly slept?
Yet love, within my soul, remains so strong,
Like embers burning in each vein along.
I search for you in alleys and in mazes.
Where did you wander, Beloved, lost in a daze?
I search for you in alleys and in mazes.

I dance for you, in guises I have found,
In unknown lands, on hallowed ground.
My anklets sing, a melody of love,
A secret whispered from the heavens above.
A deer in gardens, why did I appear?
The world, a thorn, now pierces me with fear.
I search for you in alleys and in mazes.
Where did you wander, Beloved, lost in a daze?
I search for you in alleys and in mazes.

I became a cuckoo, a peacock's grace,
I became all things, in love's embrace.
With eyes like lamps, I search for you anew,
In gardens blooming, bathed in morning dew.
The world won't grasp the story of my plight,
Oh, give my wounded heart, your guiding light.
I search for you in alleys and in mazes.
Where did you wander, Beloved, lost in a daze?
I search for you in alleys and in mazes.
