mili hawaon mein udne ki wo saza yaaro
mili hawaon mein udne ki wo saza yaaro

ke main jameen ke rishton se kat gaya yaaro
mili hawaon mein udne ki wo saza yaaro

wo bekhayal musafir main rasta yaaro
wo bekhayal musafir main rasta yaaro

kaha tha bas mein mere usko rokna yaaro
kaha tha bas mein mere usko rokna yaaro
kaha tha bas mein mere usko rokna yaaro

mere kalam par zamane ki gard aisi thi
mere kalam par zamane ki gard aisi thi

ke apne baare mein kuch bhi na likh saka yaaro
ke apne baare mein kuch bhi na likh saka yaaro

ke main jameen ke rishton se kat gaya yaaro
mili hawaon mein udne ki wo saza yaaro

tamaam shehar hi jiski talash me gum tha
tamaam shehar hi jiski talash me gum tha

main uske ghar ka pata kisse puchhta yaaro
main uske ghar ka pata kisse puchhta yaaro

ke main jameen ke rishton se kat gaya yaaro
mili hawaon mein udne ki wo saza yaaro

The winds embraced, a soaring, gilded cage,
The winds embraced, a soaring, gilded cage,

And I, adrift, from earth's embrace disengaged.
The winds embraced, a soaring, gilded cage.

A careless traveler, I, the path he trod,
A careless traveler, I, the path he trod,

I begged to hold him back, against his God.
I begged to hold him back, against his God,
I begged to hold him back, against his God.

Upon my pen, the world's dust settled deep,
Upon my pen, the world's dust settled deep,

My own true self, I could no longer keep.
My own true self, I could no longer keep.

And I, adrift, from earth's embrace disengaged.
The winds embraced, a soaring, gilded cage.

The city searched, a phantom in its quest,
The city searched, a phantom in its quest,

Whose door to knock, to find him, I confessed?
Whose door to knock, to find him, I confessed?

And I, adrift, from earth's embrace disengaged.
The winds embraced, a soaring, gilded cage.
