Musafir’s Maati Ki Gudiya (live) Lyrics Translation

The verses contrast a life like “burning embers” with a performance of “false smiles.” Another line details a moment when a wedding procession passes, and both family and outsiders feel like strangers. This points to a complete sense of alienation.

Bikhre Sapnon Ki Duniya Hai TuYou are a world of scattered dreams
Tootey Aksharon Ki Kavita Hai TuYou are a poem of broken letters
Bikhre Sapnon Ki Duniya Hai TuYou are a world of scattered dreams
Tootey Aksharon Ki Kavita Hai TuYou are a poem of broken letters
Jalte Angaaron Si Zindagi TeriYour life is like burning embers
Jhoothi Muskaanon Ki Kahaani TeriYour story is one of false smiles
O Maati Ki Gudiya Tera Aangan Kahaan HaiO doll of clay, where is your courtyard?
O Maati Ki Gudiya Tera Aangan Kahaan HaiO doll of clay, where is your courtyard?
O Maati Ki Gudiya Tera Aangan Kahaan HaiO doll of clay, where is your courtyard?
O Maati Ki Gudiya Tera Aangan Kahaan HaiO doll of clay, where is your courtyard?
Kacchi Galiyon Se Jab Guzre Teri DoliWhen your palanquin passes through unpaved streets
Kaise Samjhaayein Kaun Yaad AayeHow does one explain who comes to mind
Apne Ya Paraaye Begaane SabhiYour own or others, they are all strangers now
O Maati Ki Gudiya Tera Aangan Kahaan HaiO doll of clay, where is your courtyard?
O Maati Ki Gudiya Tera Aangan Kahaan HaiO doll of clay, where is your courtyard?

The question “O doll of clay, where is your courtyard?” is repeated throughout the song. This frames a direct inquiry about a person’s foundation, safety, and identity. The piece ends without resolution, presenting a plain question of rootlessness.
