udi hawa me jaati hai gaati chidiya ye rag
avo pritam hilmil khele premprit ka phag
udi hawa me jaati hai gaati chidiya ye rag
avo pritam hilmil khele premprit ka phag

chidiya sang sang udti phirti
saath rang dil ki nadiya
chidiya sang sang udti phirti
saath rang dil ki nadiya
chidiya sang sang udti phirti
saath rang dil ki nadiya

mai dukhiyari bichhad gayi
ka ke sag khelu phag
mai dukhiyari bichhad gayi
ka ke sag khelu phag
udi hawa me jati hai gati chidiya ye rag
avo pritam hilmil khele premprit ka phag

A songbird ascends, her melody unbound,
Come, beloved, let love's Holi dance surround.
A songbird ascends, her melody unbound,
Come, beloved, let love's Holi dance surround.

With the bird, the body takes to flight,
With hues the heart's rivers ignite.
With the bird, the body takes to flight,
With hues the heart's rivers ignite.
With the bird, the body takes to flight,
With hues the heart's rivers ignite.

I, a mourner, now adrift and apart,
With whom shall I play Holi, breaking my heart?
I, a mourner, now adrift and apart,
With whom shall I play Holi, breaking my heart?
A songbird ascends, her melody unbound,
Come, beloved, let love's Holi dance surround.
