meri pyari patang chali badal ke sang
meri pyari patang chali badal ke sang
jara dhire dhire ho jara haule haule
de dhil de dhil o ri sakhi
hay wo kata wo kata wo kata
dekho ji dekho ji meri pyari patang
chali badal ke sang

mere dil me umang bhara ulfat ka rang
mere dil me umang bhara ulfat ka rang
jara dhire dhire ho jara haule haule
de dhil de dhil o ri sakhi
hay wo kata wo kata wo kata
dekho ji dekho ji
mere dil me umang bhara ulfat ka rang

mast jawani dekh pukare
do naina matwale do naina matwale
mast jawani dekh pukare
do naina matwale do naina matwale
hai koi aisa dilawala jo
hamse pench lada le hamse pench lada le
hai koi aisa dilawala jo
hamse pench lada le hamse pench lada le
dekho patang mori
ganga ke par chali ganga ke par chali
le ke sandesa mora sajan ke dwar chali
sajan ke dwar chali panchhi se chhin liya
udne ka dhang panchhi se chhin liya
udne ka dhang
jara dhire dhire ho jara haule haule
de dhil de dhil ho ri sakhi
hay wo kata wo kata wo kata
dekho ji dekho ji meri pyari patang
chali badal ke sang

do naino ke pench lade ek jita aur ek hara
ek jita ek hara do naino ke pench lade
ek jita aur ek hara ek jita ek hara
pyar ne jis dam li angadayi
dil ne kaha wo mara dil ne kaha wo mara
pyar ne jis dam li angadayi
dil ne kaha wo mara dil ne kaha wo mara
kaisa yeh pench pada manjhe ki dhar gai
manjhe ki dhar gai aise me a ja more
sajan mai har gai sajan mai har gai
tute na dor kahi kahi chhute na sang
tute na dor kahi kahi chhute na sang
jara dhire dhire ho jara haule haule
de dhil de dhil ho ri sakhi
hay wo kata wo kata wo kata
dekho ji dekho ji
mere dil me umang bhara ulfat ka rang
de dhil de dhil de dhil de dhil
wo kata wo kata wo mara

My darling kite, dancing with the clouds,
My darling kite, dancing with the clouds.
Ease her slowly, gently now,
Give her rein, oh friend, give her rein.
Ah, the cut, the cut, the severed thread!
Behold, behold, my darling kite,
Dancing with the clouds.

My heart overflows with love's vibrant hue,
My heart overflows with love's vibrant hue.
Ease her slowly, gently now,
Give her rein, oh friend, give her rein.
Ah, the cut, the cut, the severed thread!
Behold, behold,
My heart overflows with love's vibrant hue.

Wild youth beckons,
Two wild eyes call, two wild eyes call.
Wild youth beckons,
Two wild eyes call, two wild eyes call.
Is there a heart so bold,
To engage in this contest, to engage?
Is there a heart so bold,
To engage in this contest, to engage?
Behold, my kite,
Sails beyond the Ganges, beyond the Ganges,
Carrying my message to my beloved's door,
To my beloved's door, it steals from the bird,
The very art of flight, the very art of flight.
Ease her slowly, gently now,
Give her rein, oh friend, give her rein.
Ah, the cut, the cut, the severed thread!
Behold, behold, my darling kite,
Dancing with the clouds.

Two eyes engaged, one wins, the other loses,
One wins, one loses, two eyes engaged.
One wins, the other loses, one wins, one loses.
When love awakens,
The heart sighs, it's wounded, the heart sighs.
When love awakens,
The heart sighs, it's wounded, the heart sighs.
What a tangled fight, the thread's sharp edge,
The thread's sharp edge, in this moment I yield,
My beloved, I yield, my beloved, I yield.
May the string not break, may the bond not sever,
May the string not break, may the bond not sever.
Ease her slowly, gently now,
Give her rein, oh friend, give her rein.
Ah, the cut, the cut, the severed thread!
Behold, behold,
My heart overflows with love's vibrant hue.
Give her rein, give her rein, give her rein, give her rein,
The cut, the cut, the wounded.
