परिंदा / Parinda / The Bird

इक हाथ तेरे सिर के तले

इक हाथ तेरे सीने से लिप्टा हुआ

क्या वोह सुनहरे दिन थे अपने

पल पल है यादों संग सींचें हुए

इक हाथ हवा मे लेहेराता हुआ

इक हाथ तेरी उंगली से जकड़ा हुआ

डिब्बे के निर्गम, निडर में जूलता था

जीना सीखा हे मैंने तेरे संग चले

छूटा छूटा, छूटा छूट

तेरी क़ैद से छूटा परिंदा तेरा

छूछा छूछा, छूछा छूछा

छूछा छूछा हे आज घराना मेरा

सूना सूना, सूना सूना

सूना सूना हे आज बीछोना तेरा

कुछ थी बातें जो तुझ से करनी थी

सोचा ख़ुशियों से भर लूँ में गोदी तेरी

वक़्त के धोके से कूछ एैसे बिछड़े

पल भर मे सारे सपनों के ढेर हुए

छूटा छूटा, छूटा छूट

तेरी क़ैद से छूटा परिंदा तेरा

छूछा छूछा, छूछा छूछा

छूछा छूछा हे आज घराना मेरा

सूना सूना, सूना सूना

सूना सूना हे आज बीछोना तेरा

जैसे तूने हे मेरे बच्चपन को संवारा

तेरे बुढपन मे में तेरे संग ना रहा

आजा दस मास के भीतर आँगन मेरे

तेरे बच्चपन को संजोने मौक़ा तो दे

छूटा छूटा, छूटा छूट

तेरी क़ैद से छूटा परिंदा तेरा

छूछा छूछा, छूछा छूछा

छूछा छूछा हे आज घराना मेरा

सूना सूना, सूना सूना

सूना सूना हे आज बीछोना तेरा

English Abbreviation

Parinda

ek haath tere sir ke tale

ek haath tere seene se lipta hua

kya voh din the sunehre apne

pal pal hai yaadon sang seeche hue

ek haath hawa me leherata hua

ek hath teri ungli se jakda hua

dibbe ke nirgam nidar me julta tha

jeene seekha maine tere sange chale

choota choota, choota choota

teri kaid se choota parinda tera

choocha choocha, choocha choocha

choocha choocha hai aaj gharona mera

soona soona, soona soona

soona soona hai aaj bichona tera

kuch thi baatein jo tujse karni thi

socha kushiyon se bhar dun mein joli teri

wakt ke dhoke se kuch aise bichade

pal bhar me sare sapno ke dher hue

choota choota, choota choota

teri kaid se choota parinda tera

choocha choocha, choocha choocha

choocha choocha hai aaj gharona mera

soona soona, soona soona

soona soona hai aaj bichona tera

jaise tune hai mere bachhpan ko sawanra

tere budhpan me mein tere sang na raha

aaja dus maas ke bhitar aangan mere

tere bachhpan ko sanjone ka mauka to de

choota choota, choota choota

teri kaid se choota parinda tera

choocha choocha, choocha choocha

choocha choocha hai aaj gharona mera

soona soona, soona soona

soona soona hai aaj bichona tera

English Translation

The Bird

With one hand under your head

And the other wrapped to your chest

Those were the golden days

Every moment is sown with our memories

With one hand adrift in the air

And the other clenched to you finger

I swung at the edge of the train bogie

I have made my principles following you

There it flies, to the skies above

the bird is set free from your cage

Empty it is, empty as dead

My house is empty, as empty as a wrecked nest

Gloomy it is, as gloomy as dead

Your bed is gloomy, as gloomy as wrecked nest

There were some pending heart-to-hearts

I thought I would out all happiness in your laps

We suddenly got cheated by the course of time

Within moment all the dreams fell, they fell off like a pack of cards

There it flies, to the skies above

the bird is set free from your cage

Empty it is, empty as dead

My house is empty, as empty as a wrecked nest

Gloomy it is, as gloomy as dead

Your bed is gloomy, as gloomy as wrecked nest

The way you adorned my childhood

I could't adorn your dotage the same

I request you to come back within the 10 months

Give me a chance to treasure your childhood

There it flies, to the skies above

the bird is set free from your cage

Empty it is, empty as dead

My house is empty, as empty as a wrecked nest

Gloomy it is, as gloomy as dead

Your bed is gloomy, as gloomy as wrecked nest
