kagaz ke do pankh leke uda chala jaye re
jaha nahi jana tha ye wahi chala haye re
umar ka ye tana bana samjh na paye re
juba pe jo moh maya namak lagaye re
ke dekhe na bhale na jane na daaye re
disha hara kemon boka monta re

fateh kare qile saare, bhed jaye deeware
prem koi sendh laage, sendh lage re lage
agar magar bari bari jiya ko yu uchhale
jiya nahi gend laage, gend lage re lage
matti ko ye chandan sa mathe pe sajaye re
juba pe jo moh maya namak lagaye re
ke dekhe na bhale na jane na daaye re
disha hara kemon boka monta re

With paper wings, it takes to flight,
Soaring where it shouldn't, into endless night.
This tapestry of life, it cannot understand,
On its tongue, desire, a salty strand.
It sees not, weighs not, knows not right from wrong,
A lost fool, wandering all along.

With paper wings, it takes to flight,
Soaring where it shouldn't, into endless night.
This tapestry of life, it cannot understand,
On its tongue, desire, a salty strand.
It sees not, weighs not, knows not right from wrong,
A lost fool, wandering all along.

Conquers every fortress, pierces every wall,
Love, a thief that steals, that steals, it enthralls.
Ifs and buts, one by one, toss the heart so high,
The heart, a ball that bounces, a ball, passing by.
Earth it adorns with sandalwood's embrace,
On its tongue, desire, a salty trace.
It sees not, weighs not, knows not right from wrong,
A lost fool, wandering all along.
