Masakali — Lyrics

Masakali masakali Udi udi jaaye Masakali masakali Udi udi jaaye Re masakali re masakali Udi udi jaaye Tu bhi toh hai ek panchhi Par udne ki himmat nahin Kagaz ke phoolon pe Aaj likha hai tera naam Masakali masakali Udi udi jaaye Re masakali re masakali Udi udi jaaye Dil ki udaan bhi Ab toh rukti nahin

Masakali masakali Flies away flapping wings Masakali masakali Flies away flapping wings Oh Masakali oh Masakali Flies away flapping wings You too are a bird But lack the courage to fly On paper flowers Today your name is written Masakali masakali Flies away flapping wings Oh Masakali oh Masakali Flies away flapping wings The flight of the heart Now does not stop
