📜 COMPLETE LYRICS

▶️ HINDI (Devanagari):

चल अकेला चल अकेला चल अकेला
तेरा मेला पीछे छूटा राही चल अकेला

हज़ारों मील लम्बे रस्ते तुझको बुलाते
यहाँ दुखड़े सहने के वास्ते तुझको बुलाते
है कौन सा वो इंसान यहाँ पे
जिसने दुःख ना झेला
चल अकेला चल अकेला चल अकेला...

तेरा कोई साथ न दे तो
तू खुद से प्रीत जोड़ ले
बिछौना धरती को करके
अरे आकाश ओढ़ ले
पूरा खेल अभी जीवन का
तूने कहाँ है खेला
चल अकेला चल अकेला चल अकेला
तेरा मेला पीछे छूटा राही चल अकेला

▶️ ENGLISH TRANSLITERATION:

Chal akela chal akela chal akela
Tera mela peeche chhoota raahi chal akela

Hazaaron meel lambe raste tujhko bulaate
Yahaan dukhde sahne ke vaaste tujhko bulaate
Hai kaun sa wo insaan yahaan pe
Jisne dukh na jhela
Chal akela chal akela chal akela...

Tera koi saath na de to
Tu khud se preet jod le
Bichhauna dharti ko karke
Are aakaash odh le
Poora khel abhi jeevan ka
Tune kahaan hai khela
Chal akela chal akela chal akela
Tera mela peeche chhoota raahi chal akela
