o ban ke panchi o ban ke panchi
tum kis or sidhare tum kis or sidhare
chhod ke sone ka pinjra or tod ke bandhan sare
tum kis or sidhare tum kis or sidhare

lo tare suhani aayi par man andhiyari chayi
bhul gaye
bhul gaye kyu jiwansar khel wo pyare pyare
tum kis or sidhare tum kis or sidhare

phir nikla
phir nikla chand dupahla phir cham cham chamke tare
phir mile purane sathi phir jaage bhag hamare
main ek pani ka rela main ek pani ka rela
albela albela albela main sarkela
main pawan jhoka pyara ghar chhod ke ban ko sihara
tum kis or sidhare tum kis or sidhare
mann ka phul khilega tab jab honge dars tumhare

hum hai tumhare jiwansathi kali kali hai aansu bahati
dhundate hai akash pe tumko jala ke deepak pyare
tum kis or sidhare tum kis or sidhare

A bird you become, a bird you become,
To what horizon do you take flight, to what shore?
Leaving behind the gilded cage, shattering every tie,
To what horizon do you take flight, to what shore?

The lovely stars descend, yet darkness floods the mind,
Forgetting,
Forgetting, the essence of life, those beloved games, so kind,
To what horizon do you take flight, to what shore?

Again the moon emerges, bathed in dawn's first light,
Again the stars shimmer, a celestial delight,
Old companions gather, fortunes re-awaken,
I am a flowing river, a wanderer un-taken,
A wind's sweet breath, abandoning home, embracing the wood,
To what horizon do you take flight, to what shore?
The heart's blossom blooms when your presence is understood.

We are your life's companions, each moment a tear,
Searching for you in the heavens, lit by a lamp held dear,
To what horizon do you take flight, to what shore?
