mai hu ek hawa ka jhonka
mai hu ek hawa ka jhonka
ek hawa ka jhonka
idhar se aaya, udhar gaya
rasta na, o rasta na kisi ne roka
mai hu ek hawa ka jhonka

mai to hu duniya se nayara
na koi dushman, na koi pyara
mai to hu duniya se nayara
na koi dushman, na koi pyara
mera pata lagane wale
mera pata lagane wale
kha jate hai dhokha
kha jate hai dhokha
mai hu ek hawa ka jhonka

mujhko koi gham nahi hai
koi mera humdam nahi hai
mujhko koi gham nahi hai
koi mera humdam nahi hai
meri ye do najre jane
meri ye do najre jane
sara bhedh dilo ka
sara bhedh dilo ka
mai hu ek hawa ka jhonka

ghar dar se begana hu mai
pakkad hu, mastana hu mai
ghar dar se begana hu mai
aji pakkad hu, mastana hu mai
jeb hai meri maal tumhara
jeb hai meri maal tumhara
khel hai do hatho ka
khel hai do hatho ka
mai hu ek hawa ka jhonka
ek hawa ka jhonka
idhar se aaya, udhar gaya
rasta na, o rasta na kisi ne roka
mai hu ek hawa ka jhonka

I am a breath of the wind,
a whisper adrift,
a breath of the wind.
I came from nowhere,
and vanish beyond,
No path held me,
no barrier bound.
I am a breath of the wind.

I am apart from this world,
no foe do I know, no beloved I claim.
I am apart from this world.
Those who seek to find me,
those who try to grasp,
are doomed to deceit,
to shadows and sham.
I am a breath of the wind.

No sorrow I bear,
no companion I seek,
No sorrow I bear.
My two eyes, they see,
they know every secret,
the hidden, the deep,
every heart's desire they speak.
I am a breath of the wind.

I am free from all ties,
a wanderer wild,
I am free from all ties.
Your possessions, they fill
my pockets unseen,
a game of two hands,
and fortunes concealed.
I am a breath of the wind,
a breath of the wind.
I came from nowhere,
and vanish beyond,
No path held me,
no barrier bound.
I am a breath of the wind.
