pardeshi to hai pardeshi aate hai chale jate hai
pardeshi to hai pardeshi aate hai chale jate hai
kuch yade thodi si khushiya dher se gum de jate hai
pardeshi to hai pardeshi aate hai chale jate hai

ye na samajhna hamko tumhari yad na aayegi
jab dekhenge taswir tumhari aankhe bhar aayengi
kuch rishte aise hai jo chupke se nibhaye jate hai
pardeshi to hai pardeshi aate hai chale jate hai

dil karta hai aaj pukaru tumko mai apna kah ke
laut ke fir aaoge jao tum ye wada kar ke
byah me tere sab aayenge de ke wachan ham jate hai
pardeshi to hai pardeshi aate hai chale jate hai

milna bichadna is jiwan ki reet purani hai
dil deta hai tumko duaye aankh me pani hai
in ashko pe mat jao ye khushiyo me bhi aate hai
pardeshi to hai pardeshi aate hai chale jate hai
kuch yade thodi si khushiya dher se gum de jate hai
pardeshi to hai pardeshi aate hai chale jate hai

They are strangers, they are strangers, arriving, then departing,
They are strangers, they are strangers, arriving, then departing,
Leaving behind some memories, a little joy, a mountain of sorrow,
They are strangers, they are strangers, arriving, then departing.

Do not think that I will not remember you,
When I look upon your image, my eyes will overflow,
Some bonds are such that they are secretly kept,
They are strangers, they are strangers, arriving, then departing.

My heart yearns to call you mine today,
To ask you to return, to promise your coming back,
In your wedding, all will gather, giving their word, we go,
They are strangers, they are strangers, arriving, then departing.

Meeting and parting, this is life's ancient rhythm,
My heart sends you blessings, tears well in my eyes,
Do not judge by these tears, they come even in joy,
They are strangers, they are strangers, arriving, then departing.
Leaving behind some memories, a little joy, a mountain of sorrow,
They are strangers, they are strangers, arriving, then departing.
