Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Hindi-Urdu Lyrics:
chal u.D jaa, re panchhee~~~
GO, FLY AWAY BIRDIE,
chal u.D jaa re panchhee
GO, FLY AWAY BIRDIE,
ke ab yeh, des hua begaanaa
ALIEN IS THIS HOMELAND NOW..
chal u.D jaa, re panchee
GO, FLY AWAY BIRDIE,
ke ab yeh, des hua begaanaa
ALIEN IS THIS HOMELAND NOW..
chal u.D jaa, re panchhee..
GO, FLY AWAY BIRDIE...
Khatm huwe din us Daali ke, jis par teraa baseraa thaah,
TIME’S UP FOR THE BRANCH ON WHICH YOU HAD A DWELLING!
Khatm huwe din us Daali ke, jis par teraa baseraa thaah,
TIME’S UP FOR THE BRANCH ON WHICH YOU HAD A DWELLING!
aaj yahaa.n aur kal ho wahaa.n yeh, jogee waala pheraa thaah,
HERE TODAY AND THERE TOMORROW, ‘TWAS A WANDERING OF THE YOGI,
yeh teree jaageer nahee.n theeh...
THIS WAS NOT YOUR LANDED PROPERTY...
yeh teree jaageer nahee.n theeh,
THIS WAS NOT YOUR LANDED PROPERTY;
chaar ghhadee kaa Deraa thaah,
‘TWAS A TEMPORARY STAY,
sadaa rahaa hai is duniyaa me.n, kis kaa aab-o-daanaa
WHO’S THE PROVISIONS TO LAST FOREVER IN THIS WORLD!
chal u.D jaa, re panchhee
GO, FLY AWAY BIRDIE,
ke ab yeh, des huwaa begaanaaa
ALIEN IS THIS HOMELAND NOW..
chal u.D jaa, re panchhee
GO, FLY AWAY BIRDIE...

GO, FLY AWAY BIRDIE,

ALIEN IS THIS HOMELAND NOW..
chal u.D jaa, re panchee...
GO, FLY AWAY BIRDIE,
tuune tinkaa tinkaa chun kar, nagree ek basaayee,
PICKING UP BITS AND PIECES YOU ESTABLISHED A HEARTH AND HOME,
tuune tinkaa tinkaa chun kar, nagree ek basaayee,
PICKING UP BITS AND PIECES YOU ESTABLISHED A HEARTH AND HOME,
baarish me.n teree, bheegee paankhe, dhoop me.n garmee khaayee,
YOUR WINGS DRENCHED IN RAIN; IN THE SUN, WERE SCORCHED,
gham naa kar...
DON’T GRIEVE...
gham naa kar jo, teree mehnat, tere kaam naa aayee,
DON'T GRIEVE THAT YOUR EFFORTS DIDN'T BEAR YOU FRUITS,
achha hai kuchh le jaane se, dekar hee kuchh jaana...
RATHER THAN TAKING AWAY, ‘TIS GOOD TO BESTOW SOMETHING WHILE GOING!
chal u.D jaa, re panchhee
GO, FLY AWAY BIRDIE,
ke ab yeh, des huwa begaanaa
ALIEN IS THIS HOMELAND NOW..
chal u.D jaa, re panchhee..
GO, FLY AWAY BIRDIE...
bhool jaa ab woh, mast hawaa...woh u.Dnaa Daalee Daalee
FORGET THE BALMY BREEZE; THAT FLITTING FROM THE BOUGHS,
bhool jaa ab woh, mast hawaa woh u.Dnaa Daalee Daalee,
FORGET THE BALMY BREEZE; THAT FLITTING FROM THE BOUGHS,
jag ki aa.nkh kaa, kaa.nTaa ban gayee, chaal teree matwaalee,
YOUR MERRY GAIT BECAME AN EYESORE TO THE WORLD,
kaun bhalaa us baagh ko poochh e....
WELL, WHO CARES FOR THAT GARDEN...
kaun bhalaa, us baagh ko poochhe, ho naa jiskaa maalee,
WELL, WHO CARES FOR THAT GARDEN THAT HAS NO GARDNER?
Teree qismat me.n likkhaa hai, jeete jee mar jaana
‘TIS ORDAINED THAT YOU LIVE A LIVING DEATH!
chal u.D jaa, re panchhee
GO, FLY AWAY BIRDIE,
ke ab yeh, des huwa begaanaa
ALIEN IS THIS HOMELAND NOW..
chal u.D jaa, re panchhee....
GO, FLY AWAY BIRDIE...
rote hai.n woh pankh-pakheroo..... saath tere jo khele,
RUEFUL ARE THE AVIAN FRIENDS WHO PLAYED WITH YOU,
rote hai.n woh pankh-pakheroo, saath tere jo khele,
RUEFUL ARE THE AVIAN FRIENDS WHO PLAYED WITH YOU,
jin ke saath lagaaye tuune, armaano.n ke mele,
THE ONES WITH WHOM YOU SHARED THE CARNIVALS OF HOPES!
bheegee a.nkiyo.n se hee un kee, aaj duaae.n le le,
GO ON, ACCEPT THEIR BLESSINGS WITH TEARFUL EYES TODAY,
kis ko pataa ab is nagree me.n, kab ho teraa aanaa
NOW WHO KNOWS WHEN YOU'LL BACK NEXT IN THIS TOWN!
chal u.D jaa, re panchhee
GO, FLY AWAY BIRDIE,
ke ab yeh, des huwa begaanaa
ALIEN IS THIS HOMELAND NOW..
chal u.D jaa, re panchhee.
GO, FLY AWAY BIRDIE.

All changes are more or less tinged with melancholy, for what we are leaving behind is part of ourselves. Amelia Barr
