kaise din jiwan me aaye, huye wo apne paraye
dwar dahri wo ghar angan, ban gaya pardes
kaise din jiwan me aaye, huye wo apne paraye
dwar dahri wo ghar angan, ban gaya pardes

sabhi apne khoye sukh me
sabhi apne khoye dukh me
o sabhi apne khoye sukh me
sabhi apne khoye dukh me
kaun dekhe mere man pe lagi hai kya thes
ban gaya pardes, chhuta apna desh
dwar dahri wo ghar angan, ban gaya pardes

mere avgun sabhi dekhe
mere durgun sabhi dekhe
mere avgun sabhi dekhe
mere durgun sabhi dekhe
koi na puchhe ujda kaise mere man ka desh
ban gaya pardes, chhuta apna desh
dwar dahri wo ghar angan, ban gaya pardes

sare bandhan sare naate
yu na pal me bikhar jate
sare bandhan sare naate
yu na pal me bikhar jate
log badle jaise badle yaha mausam bhesh
ban gaya pardes, chhuta apna desh
dwar dahri wo ghar angan, ban gaya pardes
kaise din jiwan me aaye, huye wo apne paraye
dwar dahri wo ghar angan, ban gaya pardes

How days arrive in life, turning kin to stranger,
threshold and door, home and courtyard, become a foreign land.
How days arrive in life, turning kin to stranger,
threshold and door, home and courtyard, become a foreign land.

All lost in their own joy,
all lost in their own sorrow,
oh, all lost in their own joy,
all lost in their own sorrow,
Who sees the wounds that scar my heart?
A foreign land it’s become, my homeland gone.
Threshold and door, home and courtyard, become a foreign land.

All see my flaws,
all see my failings,
all see my flaws,
all see my failings,
None ask how the land of my heart was razed.
A foreign land it’s become, my homeland gone.
Threshold and door, home and courtyard, become a foreign land.

All ties, all bonds,
do not crumble in a moment,
oh, all ties, all bonds,
do not crumble in a moment,
People change, as seasons wear a different guise,
A foreign land it’s become, my homeland gone.
Threshold and door, home and courtyard, become a foreign land.
How days arrive in life, turning kin to stranger,
threshold and door, home and courtyard, become a foreign land.
