ghar se nikalte hi kuch dur chalte hi raste me hai uska ghar
kal subah dekha to bal banati wo khidki me ayi nazar
ghar se nikalte hi kuch dur chalte hi raste me hai uska ghar
kal subah dekha to bal banati wo khidki me ayi nazar
ghar se nikalte hi

masum chahra nichi nigahe bholi si ladki bholi adaye
na apsara hai na vo pari hai lekin yah uski jadugari hai
divana kar ke vo ek rang bhar ke vo sharma ke dekhe jidhar
ghar se nikalte hi kuch dur chalte hi raste me hai uska ghar

karta hun uske ghar ke mai phere hasne lage hai ab dost mere
sach kah raha hun uski kasam hai
mai phir bhi khush hun bas ek gam hai
jise pyar karta hun mai jispe marta hun usko nahi hai khabar
ghar se nikalte hi kuch dur chalte hi raste me hai uska ghar

ladki hai jaise koi paheli kal jo mili mujhko uski saheli
maine kaha usko jake yah kahna acha nahi hai yun dur rahna
kal sham nikle vo ghar se tahalne ko milna jo chahe agar
ghar se nikalte hi kuch dur chalte hi raste me hai uska ghar

The moment I step out, a little ways down the road, her house appears.
Yesterday morn, I saw her, hair in braids, at the window's view.
The moment I step out...

Innocent face, eyes cast down, a simple girl, her ways so pure.
No nymph, no fairy she, yet in her lies a magic's lure.
Driving me mad, filling life with hue, she blushes, glances where I stray.
The moment I step out, a little ways down the road, her house holds sway.

I circle her home, a prisoner, my friends now laugh, their jokes abound.
I swear to her, with truth's embrace, though one sorrow I have found:
The one I love, the one I crave, she knows not of my heart's fire.
The moment I step out, a little ways down the road, her house desires.

A puzzle she is, veiled and deep, yesterday I met her friend, to keep.
I asked her, "Go, tell her this: To stay so distant is a miss.
Tomorrow eve, let her step from home, a walk to take, if she agrees and dares."
The moment I step out, a little ways down the road, her house ensnares.
