kaha chhod ke chala hai tu ye phulo bhari rahe
mere desh ki hawaye pardesiya
kaha chhod ke chala hai tu ye phulo bhari rahe
mere desh ki hawaye pardesiya
jara mud ke to dekh khoi khoi ye nigahe
meri thandi thandi aahe pardesiya
haye kaha chhod ke chala hai

saiya maan na maan mera dil anjan
bhula dunia ka pyar tere pyar me
saiya maan na maan mera dil anjan
bhula dunia ka pyar tere pyar me
maine chup chup haye din raat banaye
mitho sapno ke har tere pyar me
jara mud ke to dekh khoi khoi ye nigahe
meri thandi thandi aahe pardesiya
haye kaha chhod ke chala hai ye phulo bhari rahe
mere desh ki hawaye pardesiya
kaha chhod ke chala hai

tu jo laut ke aaye mujhe mukhda dikhaye
to mai ankhiya bichau teri raah me
tu jo laut ke aaye mujhe mukhda dikhaye
to mai ankhiya bichau teri raah me
bas ek baar meri sunke pukar
mai to jal jal jau teri chah me
jara mud ke to dekh khoi khoi ye nigahe
meri thandi thandi aahe pardesiya
haye kaha chhod ke chala hai ye phulo bhari rahe
mere desh ki hawaye pardesiya
kaha chhod ke chala hai

Where have you gone, leaving these flowered paths behind?
The winds of my homeland, a stranger to me.
Where have you gone, leaving these flowered paths behind?
The winds of my homeland, a stranger to me.
Turn back and see these lost, wandering eyes,
My cold, cold sighs, a stranger to me.
Oh, where have you gone, leaving me behind?

My love, believe me, believe me not, my heart unknown,
I've forgotten the world's love for yours alone.
My love, believe me, believe me not, my heart unknown,
I've forgotten the world's love for yours alone.
I secretly, oh, day and night have spun,
Sweet dreams of garlands, for your love alone.
Turn back and see these lost, wandering eyes,
My cold, cold sighs, a stranger to me.
Oh, where have you gone, leaving these flowered paths behind?
The winds of my homeland, a stranger to me.
Where have you gone?

If you return, and show your face to me,
I shall spread my eyes upon your path.
If you return, and show your face to me,
I shall spread my eyes upon your path.
Just once, hear my call and plea,
I would burn to ashes in your desire's wrath.
Turn back and see these lost, wandering eyes,
My cold, cold sighs, a stranger to me.
Oh, where have you gone, leaving these flowered paths behind?
The winds of my homeland, a stranger to me.
Where have you gone?
