mai khoya mai khoya huya awara na
dost na sahara duniya ke bhawar me
dhundta kinara dhundta kinara dhundta kinara
mai khoya mai khoya huya awara na
dost na sahara duniya ke bhawar me
dhundta kinara dhundta kinara dhundta kinara

khabar nahi thi kaha hu mai ye jagha hai kya jis jagha hu mai
simati si hai galiya kyu har mod pe hai sannata kyu
har mod pe hai sannata kyu mai khoya mai khoya huya awara
na dost na sahara duniya ke bhawar me
dhundta kinara dhundta kinara dhundta kinara mai khoya

soch raha hu mai hu kya sanso me kyu hai chhaya dhuya
dil me uthe chingari kyu kahi mai to nahi hu koi shama
kahi mai to nahi hu koi shama mai khoya mai khoya huya awara
na dost na sahara duniya ke bhawar me
dhundta kinara dhundta kinara dhundta kinara mai khoya

suraj ki nayi kirno se dhund ki parte hat bhi gayi
uljhan ki badli chhant gayi inki maya inki maya ek tara
mai khoya tha mai khoya tha awara
hai dost aur sahara duniya ke bhawar me
pa liya kinara mil gaya kinara pa liya kinara mai khoya tha

jo bhi dhul ki chadar odhe makhmal se jo nata tode
miti se jo pada huya miti se khud ko jode
agar aisa koi koi ho to nache nache nache nache
alam ye sara nache alam ye sara mai
khoya tha mai khoya tha awara
hai dost aur sahara duniya ke bhawar me
pa liya kinara mil gaya kinara ha pa liya kinara mai khoya tha

dil ki khushi zahan ka suku agar dost hai tumhare
to jholi me khazane ka hoga tumhe
hoga hansi nazara mai khoya tha mai khoya tha awara
hai dost aur sahara duniya ke bhawar me
pa liya kinara mil gaya kinara ho pa liya kinara mil gaya kinara
ho pa liya kinara mil gaya kinara

Lost, I am lost, a wanderer unbound,
No friend, no solace, in the world's deep round.
Searching for shore, searching for shore, evermore.
Lost, I am lost, a wanderer unbound,
No friend, no solace, in the world's deep round.
Searching for shore, searching for shore, evermore.

Unknowing, where am I? What place is this I'm in?
The streets compressed, why silence at each turn?
Why silence at each turn? Lost, I am lost, a wanderer,
No friend, no solace, in the world's deep round.
Searching for shore, searching for shore, evermore. Lost.

I ponder, what am I? Why smoke in every breath?
Why fire in the heart? Could I be a burning death?
Could I be a burning death? Lost, I am lost, a wanderer,
No friend, no solace, in the world's deep round.
Searching for shore, searching for shore, evermore. Lost.

The sun's new rays, smoke-veils they did erase,
The tangled clouds dispersed, their illusion did embrace, a star,
Lost, I am lost, a wanderer unbound,
No friend, no solace, in the world's deep round.
Searching for shore, searching for shore, evermore. Lost.

If one discards dust's cloak, breaks ties with velvet's hold,
And merges with the earth, embraces what is told,
If such a one exists, let them dance, dance, dance, dance,
Let the whole world dance, let the whole world dance.
Lost, I am lost, a wanderer unbound,
No friend, no solace, in the world's deep round.
Searching for shore, searching for shore, evermore. Lost.

If joy of heart, and peace of world, your friend may be,
Treasures will fill your pouch, for you to see,
A laughter-filled sight. Lost, I am lost, a wanderer,
No friend, no solace, in the world's deep round.
Found the shore, found the shore, oh found,
The shore found, the shore found.
Oh found the shore, the shore found.
