ek ki ho gayi shadi, to baaki rah gayi ek
ek chhoti chidiya, rah gayi akeli
gali gali aur jungle me, dhundhe nayi saheli
chidiya chidiya, udti jaaye
chidiya chidiya, khushi se gaaye
chidiya chidiya, udti jaaye
chidiya chidiya, khushi se gaaye

Through streets and through forests, seeking new birth.
