udan khatole pe ud jaau, tere hath na aaun
ha aa aa, tere hath na aaun
udan khatole pe ud jaau, tere hath na aaun
ha aa aa, tere hath na aaun

dur dur se karun ishare, aur tujhako tarasaaun
chanda ki khidaki se jhakun, jhakun aur chhip jaau
udan khatole pe ud jaau, tere hath na aaun
ha aa aa, tere hath na aaun

ho o o o
ye aur guzarati jaye, lambi unchi nichi rahe
galiyan aur bazar, ha aa aa
galiyan aur bazar
mera paiya
mera paiya aise bhage, jaise motar kar
bhage sab sansar, bhage sab sansar

suraj bhage chanda bhage, andhiyara ujiyara bhage
dharati daude pichhe ko, mai age badhati jaau
tera hath pakad ke tujhako, dur kahi le jaun
mai phir bhi hath na aaun, phir bhi hath na aaun
udan khatole pe ud jaau, tere hath na aaun
ha aa aa, tere hath na aaun

Upon a cloud-borne chariot, I take flight, beyond your grasp,
Ha aah aa, beyond your grasp.
Upon a cloud-borne chariot, I take flight, beyond your grasp,
Ha aah aa, beyond your grasp.

From afar, I send my beckoning, to make your heart yearn,
From the moon's window, I peer, then vanish and return.
Upon a cloud-borne chariot, I take flight, beyond your grasp,
Ha aah aa, beyond your grasp.

Ho o o o

And time flows on, along the winding, high and low, the hidden trails,
The streets and markets, ha aah aa,
The streets and markets, my beloved.
My beloved flees from me, like a speeding automobile,
The whole world flees, the whole world flees.

The sun flees, the moon flees, darkness and light both flee,
The earth runs backward, I advance ahead.
I would hold your hand, to take you far away,
Yet still, I will not be caught, still I will not be caught,
Upon a cloud-borne chariot, I take flight, beyond your grasp,
Ha aah aa, beyond your grasp.
