Ghar Aaja Pardesi With Lyrics-

ho koyal kooke.n huuk uTHaaye yaado.n kii ba.nduuk chalaaye	A sobbing cry arises from the cuckoo, triggering memories.
baago.n me.n jhuulo.n ke mausam vaapas aaye re	In the orchards the season of swings has returned.
ghar aaja pardesi tera des bulaaye re…	Come home, wanderer, your country has called you.
is gaon (gaa.nv) kii anpaDH miTTii paDH nahii.n saktii terii chiTTHii	The illiterate village dust cannot read your letter,
yeh miTTi tuu aakar chuume to is dharti ka dil jhuume	(but) when you come and kiss this dust, the heart of the earth will reel with delight.
maana tere hai.n kuch sapne par ham to hai.n tere apne	Follow those dreams of yours, but (know that) we are yours also.
bhuulanewaale ham ko terii yaad sataaye re	O forgetful one, we are tormented by your absence!
ghar aaja pardesi tera des bulaaye re	Come home, wanderer, your country has called you.
pa.ngat pe aaye.n muTiyaare.n chham chham paayal kii jha.nkaare.n	Amidst the ringing and jingling of anklets, the women shall come all in a row.
kheto.n me.n laharaaye.n saraso.n	In the fields the mustard plants will ripple.
kal parso.n me.n biite.n barso.n	(By waiting until) tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, years shall pass.
aaj hii aa ja kaak ha.nsta tera rasta dekhe rasta	Come back this very day!  The crow laughs; he watches for your path.
are chhuk chhuk gaaDii kii siiTii aawaz lagaaye re	There! the train whistle is blowing!
ghar aaja pardesi tera des bulaaye re	Come home, wanderer, your country has called you.
Haatho.n me.n puuja kii thaali aaye raat suhaago.nwaali	The night shall come for the wives (to pray for their husbands), worship plates in hand.
chaand ko dekhuu.n haath me.n joDuu.n karwachauth ka vrat mai.n toDuu.n	Hands joined (in prayer), I shall look for the moon, and then I shall break the fast of Karwachauth.
tere haath se piikar paani daasi se ban jauu.n raani	Once I’ve drunk water from your hand, I shall know that I’ve been elevated from servant to queen.
aaj kii raat jo maa.nge koii vo pa jaaye re	On this night, whatever anyone asks for shall be obtained.
ghar aaja pardesi tera des bulaaye re	Come home, wanderer, your country has called you!
O man mitr O man miita de tanu rab de hawaale kita	O kindred spirit, O lover, may God keep you in his care!
duniya ke dastuur hai.n kaise paagal dil majbuur hai.n kaise	What are the world’s customs like, what sort of compulsions ride the crazy heart?
ab kya sunna ab kya kahana tere mere biich ye rahana	What to hear, what to say; these things must remain between us.
khatm huii ye aa.nkh micholi kal jaayegii merii dolii	I am done playing games; tomorrow I will carried off to marry.
merii dolii merii arthii na ban jaaye re	Don’t let my wedding palanquin become my funeral bier!
ghar aaja pardesi tera des bulaaye re	Come home, wanderer, your country has called you.
ho koyal kooke.n huuk uTHaaye yaado.n kii ba.nduuk chalaaye	A sobbing cry arises from the cuckoo, triggering memories.
baago.n me.n jhuulo.n ke mausam vaapas aaye re	In the orchards the season of swings has returned.
O maahii re o achan weh weh jinduwa o sajana	O lover, O soul mate, O sweetheart!
