Gustaakh Ishq’s Chal Musafir Lyrics Translation

The verses ask the traveler to release “bubbles of laughter” while moving. It later directs them to rise with the suns and catch the moon as if it were a kite. These instructions suggest a journey that covers both earthly and cosmic spaces.

Ye Aade Tedhe Raston Pe Rang Udaata ChalOn these winding, crooked paths, keep scattering colors as you go.
Subah Ke Dil Churaata Dil Lutaata ChalKeep stealing the heart of the morning, and giving your own heart away.
Ye Aade Tedhe Raston Pe Rang Udaata ChalOn these winding, crooked paths, keep scattering colors as you go.
Subah Ke Dil Churaata Dil Lutaata ChalKeep stealing the heart of the morning, and giving your own heart away.
Bin Ruke Hi Din Dhale Hi Chalte Rehna HaiYou have to keep moving without stopping, right as the day begins to fade.
Tujhe Hansi Ke Bulbule Udaata ChalYou must keep sending up bubbles of laughter as you go.
Chal Musafir O Musafir Chal MusafirGo, traveler, oh traveler, go, traveler.
Chal Chal Chal ChalGo, go, go, go.
Chal Musafir O Musafir Chal MusafirGo, traveler, oh traveler, go, traveler.
Chal Chal Chal ChalGo, go, go, go.
Shehar Shehar Thehar Kar Subah Se Dopehar KarPausing in city after city, turning the morning into noon.
Raaton Se Guzarta Chal O ChalKeep passing through the nights, oh, just go.
Soorajon Ke Sang Sang Chadhta Chand Ki PatangRising along with the suns, catch the kite of the moon.
Pakad Le Aur Tairta ChalTake hold of it and just keep floating on.
O Chal Sun Sun Agle Din Ki Dhun Gungunaata Chal Chal ChalOh go on, listen for the new day’s tune and keep humming as you go, go, go.
Chal Musafir O Musafir Chal MusafirGo, traveler, oh traveler, go, traveler.
Chal Chal Chal ChalGo, go, go, go.
