Song Lyrics in Hindi
मैं यह नहीं कहता कि प्यार मत करना
किसी मुसाफिर का मगर ऐतबार मत करना
हम्म हम्म हम्म
हम्म हम्म हम्म
हम्म हम्म
परदेसी परदेसी जाना नहीं
परदेसी परदेसी जाना नहीं
मुझे छोड़के मुझे छोड़के
परदेसी मेरे यारा वादा निभाना
मुझे याद रखना कहीं भूल न जाना
परदेसी परदेसी जाना नहीं
मैने तुमको चाहा तुमसे प्यार किया
सब कुच्छ तुमपे यार अपना वार दिया
बन गयी जोगन मैने प्रीत का जोग लिया
ना सोचा ना समझा दिल का रोग लिया
परदेसी मेरे यारा लौट के आना
तुम याद रखना कहीं भूल ना जाना
हर पल मेरी याद तुम्हे तड़पाएगी
मैं जगूंगा नींद तुम्हे ना आएगी
छोड़ के ऐसे हाल मे जो तुम जाओगे
सच कहता हूँ जान बहुत पछताओगे
परदेसी मेरे यारा मुझे ना रुलाना
तुम याद रखना कहीं भूल ना जाना
ओ मेरे परदेसी जाना नहीं
मुझे छोड़के मुझे छोड़के
Song Lyrics in Roman Hindi
Main yeh nahi kehta ki pyaar mat karna
Kisi musafir ka magar aitbaar mat karna
Humm humm humm
Humm humm humm
Humm humm
Pardesi pardesi jaana nahi
Pardesi pardesi jaana nahi
Mujhe chhodke mujhe chhodke
Pardesi mere yaara vaada nibhaana
Mujhe yaad rakhna kahin bhool na jaana
Pardesi pardesi jaana nahi
Maine tumko chaha tumse pyaar kiya
Sab kuch tumpe yaar apna vaar diya
Ban gayi jogan maine preet ka jog liya
Na socha na samjha dil ka rog liya
Pardesi mere yaara laut ke aana
Tum yaad rakhna kahin bhool na jaana
Har pal meri yaad tumhe tadpaayegi
Main jagunga neend tumhe na aayegi
Chhod ke aise haal mein jo tum jaaoge
Sach kehta hoon jaan bahut pachtaaoge
Pardesi mere yaara mujhe na rulana
Tum yaad rakhna kahin bhool na jaana
O mere pardesi jaana nahi
Mujhe chhodke mujhe chhodke
Song Lyrics in Urdu
میں یہ نہیں کہتا کہ پیار مت کرنا
کسی مسافر کا مگر اعتبار مت کرنا
ہممم ہممم ہممم
ہممم ہممم ہممم
ہممم ہممم
پردیسی پردیسی جانا نہیں
پردیسی پردیسی جانا نہیں
مجھے چھوڑ کے مجھے چھوڑ کے
پردیسی میرے یارا وعدہ نبھانا
مجھے یاد رکھنا کہیں بھول نہ جانا
پردیسی پردیسی جانا نہیں
میں نے تم کو چاہا تم سے پیار کیا
سب کچھ تم پر یار اپنا وار دیا
بن گئی جوگن میں نے پریت کا جوگ لیا
نہ سوچا نہ سمجھا دل کا مرض لیا
پردیسی میرے یارا لوٹ کے آنا
تم یاد رکھنا کہیں بھول نہ جانا
ہر پل میری یاد تمہیں تڑپائے گی
میں جگوں گا نیند تمہیں نہ آئے گی
چھوڑ کے ایسے حال میں جو تم جاؤ گے
سچ کہتا ہوں جان بہت پچھتاؤ گے
پردیسی میرے یارا مجھے نہ رلانا
تم یاد رکھنا کہیں بھول نہ جانا
او میرے پردیسی جانا نہیں
مجھے چھوڑ کے مجھے چھوڑ کے

Song Lyrics in English
I am not saying that you should not love
But don’t blindly trust a traveler
Hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm
Traveler, O traveler, don’t go
Traveler, O traveler, don’t go
Leaving me, leaving me
Traveler, my friend, keep your promise
Remember me, don’t forget anywhere
Traveler, O traveler, don’t go
I loved you, I fell in love with you
I gave everything, my love, to you
I became a hermit, taking the vow of love
Without thinking or understanding, I took this pain of the heart
Traveler, my friend, come back
Remember me, don’t forget anywhere
Every moment, my memories will make you ache
I will stay awake, sleep will not come to you
Leaving in this condition when you go
I am telling the truth, my love, you will regret a lot
Traveler, my friend, don’t make me cry
Remember me, don’t forget anywhere
Oh my traveler, don’t go
Leaving me, leaving me
