ambua ki dari se bole re koyaliya
ambua ki dari se bole re koyaliya
preet naa karna aji, prit na karna ji
bole re koyaliya
ambua ki dari se bole re koyaliya

sulag sulag mai kali bhayi haay
sulag sulag mai kali bhayi
koyla bani na rakh
koyla bani naa rakh
jal jal ke marana aji, preet na karna ji
bole re koyaliya
ambua ki dari se bole re koyaliya

shahad ke andar zahar bhara hai
shahad ke andar zahar bhara hai
bacha nahi wo jisne piya hai
bacha nahi wo jisne piya hai
aahe na bharna aji, preet na karna ji
bole re koyaliya
ambua ki dari se bole re koyaliya

khushbu se tum mast na hona
khushbu se tum mast na hona
kaanto ko, kaanto ko hatho se naa chhuna
phulo se darna aji, prit naa karna ji
bole re koyaliya
phulo se darna aji, preet na karna ji
bole re koyaliya
ambua ki dari se bole re koyaliya
bole re koyaliya

From the mango's branch, the cuckoo calls,
From the mango's branch, the cuckoo calls.
Do not love, ah, do not love,
The cuckoo calls,
From the mango's branch, the cuckoo calls.

Burning, burning, I turned black, alas,
Burning, burning, I turned black.
Coal I became, not ash,
Coal I became, not ash.
To burn and die, ah, do not love,
The cuckoo calls,
From the mango's branch, the cuckoo calls.

Within honey, poison hides,
Within honey, poison hides.
None survived who tasted it,
None survived who tasted it.
Do not sigh, ah, do not love,
The cuckoo calls,
From the mango's branch, the cuckoo calls.

Do not be intoxicated by fragrance,
Do not be intoxicated by fragrance.
Do not touch the thorns, the thorns, with your hands,
Fear the flowers, ah, do not love,
The cuckoo calls,
Fear the flowers, ah, do not love,
The cuckoo calls,
From the mango's branch, the cuckoo calls.
The cuckoo calls.
