babul tere bagangi main bul bul
babul tere bagangi main bul bul
babul tere bagangi main bul bul
tujhe kon sa geet sunaun main rou ya muskau
main rou ya muskau oh main rou ya muskau
babul tere bagangi main bul bul
tujhe kon sa geet sunau main rou ya muskau
main rou ya muskau oh main rou ya muskau

tere bina koi meri kadar na jane o deewane log deewane
tere bina koi meri kadar na jane o deewane log deewane
begane sab anjane kise mann ki baat batau main rou ya muskau
oh main rou ya muskau

bhul gai mujhe pyari pyari surat teri oh murat teri
bhul gai mujhe pyari pyari surat teri oh murat teri
jug beete tujhe dekhe mein kaise tasveer banau
mein rou ya muskau oh main rou ya muskau

duje nahi sona sahi mujhe aarathi mein tu dikhlana
duje nahi sona sahi mujhe aarathi mein tu dikhlana
ohh fir tu jana ohh fir tu jana
sojana maat khojana sojana mat kho jana
ro ro ke lori gau
main rou ya muskau oh main rou ya muskau
babul tere bagangi main bul bul
babul tere bagangi main bul bul
tujhe kon sa geet sunau main rou ya muskau
oh main rou ya muskau

Father, I am your nightingale, yearning to sing,
Father, I am your nightingale, yearning to sing.
Which song can I offer, tell me, weep or smile?
Weep or smile?

Without you, who sees my worth, oh, these mad ones, mad!
Without you, who sees my worth, oh, these mad ones, mad!
Strangers all, unknown, how to tell my heart's plight?
Oh, weep or smile?

I've forgotten your sweet face, your image, oh, your form.
I've forgotten your sweet face, your image, oh, your form.
Ages pass, seeing you, how can I paint a picture?
Oh, weep or smile?

No second, true gold, in the prayer, show yourself to me,
No second, true gold, in the prayer, show yourself to me.
Then you go, then you go.
Don't sleep, don't be lost, don't sleep, don't be lost.
Sing a lullaby, weeping,
Weep or smile?
Father, I am your nightingale, yearning to sing,
Father, I am your nightingale, yearning to sing.
Which song can I offer, tell me, weep or smile?
Weep or smile?
