pardeshi ne lat uljhai re
pardeshi ne lat uljhai re
kaha jake najar takrai re
pardeshi ne lat uljhai re
kaha jake najar takrai re
ho kaha jake najar takrai re

dono hatho me darpan tham ke
dono hatho me darpan tham ke
mujhko thamo gayi re main to kam se
gayi re main to kam se
kari kari si gori gori si
badli aankho me chhayi re
kaha jake najar takrai re
pardeshi ne lat uljhai re
kaha jake najar takrai re

chupke chupke pukare jiya aao re
chupke chupke pukare jiya aao re
fir sajan ki gali ko chal bawri
gali ko chal bawri
bole ruk ruk ke dolu jhuk jhuk ke
more ram dhuhai re
kaha jake najar takrai re
pardeshi ne lat uljhai re
kaha jake najar takrai re

dar yahi hai kahi na koi jan le
dar yahi hai kahi na koi jan le
khoi khoi najar pahchan ke
najar pahchan ke
mukhda maila hai kajra faila hai
jab se aankh lagai re
kaha jake najar takrai re
pardeshi ne lat uljhai re
kaha jake najar takrai re
ho kaha jake najar takrai re

A stranger tangled my tresses, oh.
A stranger tangled my tresses, oh.
Where did our gazes collide, oh?
A stranger tangled my tresses, oh.
Where did our gazes collide, oh?
Yes, where did our gazes collide, oh?

With both hands, I hold a mirror,
With both hands, I hold a mirror.
And I'm undone, caught in his snare.
Undone, swept away by this affair.
Dark, dark, yet fair, so fair,
A cloud of longing in my eyes now there.
Where did our gazes collide, oh?
A stranger tangled my tresses, oh.
Where did our gazes collide, oh?

Secretly, my soul calls out, "Come, oh!"
Secretly, my soul calls out, "Come, oh!"
Then, a madwoman, I walk to his lane,
To his lane, again and again.
Speaking, halting, swaying, bending,
My very God, I'm now contending.
Where did our gazes collide, oh?
A stranger tangled my tresses, oh.
Where did our gazes collide, oh?

Fear whispers, lest someone should know,
Fear whispers, lest someone should know.
Lost in gaze, recognition will grow,
Recognition will overflow.
My face is stained, my kohl now spreads wide,
Since his gaze met mine, deep inside.
Where did our gazes collide, oh?
A stranger tangled my tresses, oh.
Where did our gazes collide, oh?
Oh, where did our gazes collide, oh?
