kateli kateli naseli naseli kaise jhoke jaye
hawa ke kaise jhoke aaye kateli kateli naseli naseli
kaise jhoke jaye hawa ke kaise jhoke aaye

sakhi re mera man ud ud jaye ud ud jaye ud ud jaye
aaj mera dil bas me nahi koi sitam dhaye
haye haye koi sitam dhaye sakhi re mera man ud ud jaye
ud ud jaye ud ud jaye dur kahi pe murli baje
lahar lahar jiya lahraye lahar lahar jiya lahraye
lahar lahar jiya lahraye rah rah ke dil machle
aisa lage koi mujhe bulaye aisa lage koi hame bulaye
aisa lage koi hame bulaye kateli kateli naseli naseli

sakhi re mera man ud ud jaye ud ud jaye ud ud jaye

gagan kahi pawan dhale sara sama aaj gungunaye
sara sama aaj gungunaye sara sama aaj gungunaye
rang bhari hara chunri hawao me udti najar aaye
haye hawao me udti najar aaye hawao me udti najar aaye
kateli kateli naseli naseli kaise jhoke jaye
hawa ke kaise jhoke aaye sakhi re mera man ud ud jaye
ud ud jaye ud ud jaye

ankhiyan me nache sapne bar bar angdayi aaye
haye bar bar angdayi aaye bar bar angdayi aaye

dil ka hal kaha nahi jaye dil ka hal kaha nahi jaye
kateli kateli naseli naseli kaise jhoke jaye
hawa ke kaise jhoke aaye kateli kateli naseli naseli
kaise jhoke jaye hawa ke kaise jhoke aaye
sakhi re mera man ud ud jaye
ud ud jaye ud ud jaye

Thorny, so thorny, intoxicating, so,
How can I be swayed,
By the wind's wild gusts that come and go?
Thorny, so thorny, intoxicating, so,
How can I be swayed,
By the wind's wild gusts that come and go?

Oh, friend, my heart takes flight, takes flight,
Soars, soars, and takes flight.
My heart today, it knows no bound,
A torment it now knows.
Alas, alas, a torment it now knows.
Oh, friend, my heart takes flight,
Soars, soars, and takes flight.
Far away, a flute does play,
Wave on wave, my soul does sway.
Wave on wave, my soul does sway.
Wave on wave, my soul does sway,
The heart aches, yearns, it cannot stay.
It feels as though someone calls to me,
It feels as though someone calls to us.
It feels as though someone calls to us.
Thorny, so thorny, intoxicating, so,
How can I be swayed,
By the wind's wild gusts that come and go?
Oh, friend, my heart takes flight,
Soars, soars, and takes flight.

The sky somewhere, the wind does fall,
All the world now hums a call.
All the world now hums a call.
All the world now hums a call.
A green scarf, colors bright,
In the winds, it takes its flight.
Alas, in the winds, it takes its flight.
In the winds, it takes its flight.
Thorny, so thorny, intoxicating, so,
How can I be swayed,
By the wind's wild gusts that come and go?
Oh, friend, my heart takes flight,
Soars, soars, and takes flight.

In my eyes, dreams now dance,
Again and again, a longing glance.
Alas, again and again, a longing glance.
Again and again, a longing glance.
What has happened, tell me, pray,
The heart's plight, I cannot say.
The heart's plight, I cannot say.
The heart's plight, I cannot say.
Thorny, so thorny, intoxicating, so,
How can I be swayed,
By the wind's wild gusts that come and go?
Thorny, so thorny, intoxicating, so,
How can I be swayed,
By the wind's wild gusts that come and go?
Oh, friend, my heart takes flight,
Soars, soars, and takes flight.
