Ae Ajnabi
Film: Dil Se
Singers: Udit Narayan, Mahalakshmi Iyer

o pakhi pakhi pardeshi
o, the visitor from a distant country, you are like a bird

pakhi pakhi pardeshi
pakhi pakhi pardeshi pakhi pakhi pardeshi
pakhi pakhi pardeshi pakhi pakhi pardeshi
pakhi pakhi pardeshi

e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se
o stranger, you also call me sometime from somewhere

e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se

main yaha tukdo mein jee raha hu
i am living here just in pieces

main yaha tukdo mein jee raha hu

tu kahi tukdo mein jee rahi hai
you are living somewhere in pieces

e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se
e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se

roj roj resham si hawa
day by day, the wind which is like silk

aate jaate kahti hai bata
whenever it comes and goes, it asks me

resham si hawa kehti hai bata
the silken wind asks me

wo jo doodh dhuli masoom kali wo hai kaha kaha hai
that she, who is as fair as if she bathes in milk, she, who is as innocent
as a flower-bud, where is she, where she is

wo roshani kaha hai wo jaan si kaha hai
where is she who is like a beam of light, where is she who is like my life

main adhoora tu adhoori jee rahi hai
i am incomplete, you are living incomplete

e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se
e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se
main yaha tukdo mein jee raha hu
main yaha tukdo mein jee raha hu
tu kahi tukdo mein jee rahi hai
e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se
pakhi pakhi pardeshi pakhi pakhi pardeshi
pakhi pakhi pardeshi pakhi pakhi pardeshi

tu to nahin hai lekin teri muskrahate hain
you are not here, still, your smiles are here

chehra kahi nahi hai par teri aahte hain
your face is not visible anywhere, still, some sounds hinting at your
presence are here

tu hai kaha kaha hai tera nisha kaha hai
where are you, where are you, where is the sign of you presence

mera jaha kaha hai
where is my world

main adhoora tu adhoori jee rahi hai

e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se
e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se
main yaha tukdo mein jee raha hu
main yaha tukdo mein jee raha hu
tu kahi tukdo mein jee rahi hai
e ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahi se
