paradesi to hain paradesi aate hain chale jaate hain
kuchh yaadein thodi si khushiyaan dher se gam de jaate hain
paradesi to hain

ye hote hain jhonke hava ke inako pakadana mushkil hai
phir bhi muhabbat karata hai inase kitana paagal ye dil hai
do pal ki raahat dete hain saari umar tadapaate hain
paradesi to hain

is daali kabhi us daali pe bedardon ka basera hai
shaamein kahin pe guzarein inaki aur kahin pe savera hai
harajaayi bhanvare hain ye to kaliyon ko bahakaate hain
paradesi to hain

chain chura ke le gaye mera in ankhiyon ko pyaas de gaye

ye na samajhana hamako tumhaari yaad na aayegi
jab dekhenge tasvir tumhaari aankhein bhar aayengi
kuchh rishte aise hain jo chupake se nibhaaye jaate hain

dil karata hai aaj pukaaruun tumako main apana kah ke
laut ke phir aaoge jaao tum ye vaada kar ke
byaah mein tere sab aayenge de ke vachan ham jaate hain
paradesi to hain

milana bichhadana is jivan ki rit puraani hai
dil deta hai tumako duaayein aankh mein paani hai
in ashkon pe mat jaao ye khushiyon mein bhi aate hain
paradesi to hain
