Lyrics:
Je aunda maen kadey hor
Ki mulaqat hundi
Je hunda maen changa chor
Ki jumme-raat hundi
Je aunda jhoothh maenu kehna
Tan vi ki parda eh si rehna
Hijaban vali
Karachi Valie
Kujh khali tere andar si
‘Te shayad mere vi
Ik paase khahishan si kharhian
‘Te dujey haddan si
Ni haddan terian si nerhe meri door
Ki karda maen si majboor
Mijajan valie
Karachi valie
Thhande sahan valie
Rukhe valan valie
Thorha kasoor si mera
Thorha si tera kasoor
Par dasso dil uthey kiven jit sakdai
Jithey rehndian ne mattan vadhoo
Tun tukdi si rakhdi si bujhdi si machdi di
Jhakdi si kardi si gallan
Munhon dilon hor
Maen takda si rah, kadey takda si daa
Kadey farhda si banh teri
Aakhar maen si chor
Asan lai ik sann kurhey
Vehna kinna chir khaloni eyn
Vaddi kandhan valie
Karachi Valie
Thhandey sahan valie
Rukhey valan valie
Had I come another time
Would we have still met
Had I been a good thief
Would tonight have been a ball
If I knew how to lie
Would this cover have still remained
O veiled one
O Karachi girl
There was something hollow inside of you
Perhaps inside of me too
On one hand stood desires
On the other limitations
Yours were too close and mine too far
What could’ve I done I was helpless
O sassy one
O Karachi girl
Your sighs were so cold
You hair were so coarse
A bit of it was my fault
And a bit yours too
But tell me how can heart win
Where mind holds forte
You nibbled, cast aside, got doused, got inflamed
Hesitated, spoke one thing from your mouth and
Another from your heart
I waited in your path, waited for a chance
Grabbed your arm
I was after all a thief
I’ve made a breach
Will see how long shall you stand
You and your big wall
O Karachi Girl
Your sighs were so cold
Your hair were so coarse
