Avaaz is Hindi for sound or to call. The lyrics are from a 2005 Hindi poem "My Thoughts Search." by Ali Mir.
Dhoondtaa hai khayaal...
Ek saaz ko, aawaaz ko, rangeen ho, sangeen ho
Ek harf ko, ek lafz ko, kahde jo dil ka haal
Dhoondtaa hai khayaal
Rough translation:
My thoughts search...
For a melody, a voice
That is light and colorful or dark and heavy
For a sound, a word
That could express that which is in my heart
