ud chala ud chala panchhi ban ke
man mera sagar ke par ud chala panchhi ban ke
man mera sagar ke par tu bhi aa sang mere dekh nazara
ye ek bar ud chala panchhi ban ke
man mera sagar ke par ud chala

ye zindagi bas ek bar milti hai milti hai
ye zindagi bas ek bar milti hai milti hai
murja ke phir ye kali kab khilti hai
bhar le apna daman in phulo se
kya aitbar ud chala panchhi ban ke
man mera sagar ke par ud chala

leke tera naam maine pukara hai pukara hai
leke tera naam maine pukara hai pukara hai
samjhe to kafi yahi ek ishara hai tera mera kya nata hai
tu sawan hai mai hu bahar ud chala panchhi ban ke
man mera sagar ke par ud chala panchhi ban ke
man mera sagar ke par tu bhi aa sang mere dekh nazara
ye ek bar ud chala panchhi ban ke
man mera sagar ke par ud chala

Soaring, soaring, becoming a bird,
My soul, beyond the ocean, takes flight as a bird.
My soul, beyond the ocean, come, too, with me, witness the spectacle,
This once, soaring, becoming a bird,
My soul, beyond the ocean, takes flight.

This life, it’s only granted once, granted,
This life, it’s only granted once, granted,
Wilted, when will this bud bloom again?
Fill your embrace with these flowers,
What trust remains? Soaring, becoming a bird,
My soul, beyond the ocean, takes flight.

Taking your name, I have called out, called out,
Taking your name, I have called out, called out,
If understood, this single gesture is enough,
What bond is ours?
You are the monsoon, I, the spring. Soaring, becoming a bird,
My soul, beyond the ocean, takes flight as a bird,
My soul, beyond the ocean, come, too, with me, witness the spectacle,
This once, soaring, becoming a bird,
My soul, beyond the ocean, takes flight.
