18) BASTI BASTI PARBAT PARBAT: MP3
bastii-bastii parvat-parvat gaata jaaye banjaara
from town to town, mountain to mountain, the pedlar wanders,
lekar dil ka ek tara (2)
singing, with a gleam in his heart
Pal do pal ka saath hamaara pal do pal ki yaari
our company is for but a few moments, as is our friendship
Aaj ruke to kal karani hai chalane ki taiyaari
we stop here today, then tomorrow we must prepare to move on
bastii-bastii parvat-parvat gaata jaaye banjaara
from town to town, mountain to mountain, the pedlar wanders,
lekar dil ka ek tara (2)
singing, with a gleam in his heart
Qadam-qadam par honi baithi apana jaal bichhaae (2)
at every step, we must sit and spread our nets,
Is jiivan ki raah mein jaane kaun kahaan rah jaae (2)
in this life, who knows who will be left behind and where?
bastii-bastii parvat-parvat gaata jaaye banjaara
from town to town, mountain to mountain, the pedlar wanders,
lekar dil ka ek tara (2)
singing, with a gleam in his heart
Dhan-daulat ke piichhe kyon hai ye duniya diivaani
why is the world going mad, chasing wealth and fortune?
Yahaan ki daulat yahaan rahegi saath nahi ye jaani
the gold of this world will remain here, it will not go with you
bastii-bastii parvat-parvat gaata jaaye banjaara
from town to town, mountain to mountain, the pedlar wanders,
lekar dil ka ek tara (2)
singing, with a gleam in his heart
Sone-chaandi mein tulata ho jahaan dilon ka pyaar
where love is sold for gold and silver,
Aansu bhi bekaar vahaan par aahen bhi bekaar (2)
tears flow in vain, and the deep sighs are of no use
bastii-bastii parvat-parvat gaata jaaye banjaara
from town to town, mountain to mountain, the pedlar wanders,
lekar dil ka ek tara (2)
singing, with a gleam in his heart
Duniya ke baazaar mein aakhir chaahat bhi vyaapaar bani
In the end, love has become a trade in this world
Tere dil se unake dil tak chaandi ki diivaar bani (2)
A wall of silver from your heart to her heart
bastii-bastii parvat-parvat gaata jaaye banjaara
from town to town, mountain to mountain, the pedlar wanders,
lekar dil ka ek tara (2)
singing, with a gleam in his heart
Ham jaison ke bhaag mein likha chaahat ka varadaan nahi
those like us are not blessed to receive love
Jisane hamako janam diya vo patthar hai bhagavaan nahiin (2)
the one who gave us life is made of stone, he cannot be God
bastii-bastii parvat-parvat gaata jaaye banjaara
from town to town, mountain to mountain, the pedlar wanders,
lekar dil ka ek tara (2)
singing, with a gleam in his heart
