The owl's eye, the hawk's tail, a riddle spun,
Why do moon and stars vanish, one by one?
The owl's eye, the hawk's tail, a riddle spun,
Why do moon and stars vanish, one by one?
When the sun ascends,
When the sun ascends,
The owl's eye, the hawk's tail, a riddle spun,
Why do moon and stars vanish, one by one?
When the sun ascends,
When the sun ascends,
In the dark of night,
We witness their luminous flight,
But when day unfurls,
They retreat from the world.
Ding dang ding dang dang dang,
Ding dang ding dang dang dang,
Dang dang dang dang dang dang.

Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata's gleam,
Chowpatty's chat, a vibrant dream,
All devour, it would seem,
Snow cones, black salt, a joyful stream.
Three sixty-five days, fifty-two weeks we weave,
Added up, the year we achieve.
Ashwatthama, a name of might,
Chetak, a steed of valiant fight.
Ashwatthama, an elephant's grand form,
Rana's horse, Chetak, weathered the storm.
Chetak, Chetak, Chetak, Chetak,
Ashwatthama, an elephant's grand form,
Rana's horse, Chetak, weathered the storm.
In Haldighati's clash, a tale to see,
Akbar's defeat, the owl's flight free.
The owl's eye, the hawk's tail, a riddle spun,
Ding dang ding dang dang dang,
Ding dang ding dang dang dang,
Dang dang dang dang dang dang.

In Delhi, the Qutub Minar's grace,
Hyderabad, Charminar's embrace,
Lastly, the Taj Mahal's serene face,
Jaipur, Hawa Mahal's airy space.

Bhoopool Bhulaiya's Lucknow's maze,
Kurukshetra's Haryana's haze,
What wisdom did Chanakya impart?
Why did chorus halt Alexander's heart?
Gonga Pandit, a circular tale,
History's secrets will surely prevail.
Hoy hoy hoy hoy,
Gonga Pandit, a circular tale,
History's secrets will surely prevail.
India, a golden bird so bright,
Better than all, in glorious light.
The owl's eye, the hawk's tail, a riddle spun,
Ding dang ding dang dang dang,
Ding dang ding dang dang dang,
Dang dang dang dang dang dang.

The owl's eye, the hawk's tail, a riddle spun,
Why do moon and stars vanish, one by one?
When the sun ascends,
When the sun ascends,
In the dark of night,
We witness their luminous flight,
But when day unfurls,
They retreat from the world.
The owl's eye, the hawk's tail, a riddle spun.
