baago mein koyal boli
mere dil ki duniya doli
baago mein koyal boli
mere dil ki duniya doli
tu bhi bol koyliya bole
tu bhi bol koyliya bole
kuch kah de haile haule
kuch kah de haile haule
tan man se teri ho li
mere dil ki duniya doli
tan man se teri ho li
mere dil ki duniya doli

koyal ki kuk mein kya hai
koyal ki kuk mein kya hai
ulfat ka bhed chhupa hai
ulfat ka bhed chhupa hai
kya dard bhari hai boli
mere dil ki duniya doli
kya dard bhari hai boli
mere dil ki duniya doli

sun kar ye mast sadaye
sun kar ye mast sadaye
dali par phul khil aaye
dali par phul khil aaye
lo aankh kali ne kholi
meri dil ki duniya doli
lo aankh kali ne kholi
meri dil ki duniya doli
baago mein koyal boli
mere dil ki duniya doli

In gardens, the cuckoo's song did start,
And in my heart, the world did depart.
In gardens, the cuckoo's song did start,
And in my heart, the world did depart.
You too, speak, O cuckoo, and speak,
You too, speak, O cuckoo, and speak,
Whisper softly, secrets to seek,
Whisper softly, secrets to seek,
With body and soul, I am yours to keep,
And in my heart, the world did depart.
With body and soul, I am yours to keep,
And in my heart, the world did depart.

What is it the cuckoo does convey?
What is it the cuckoo does convey?
Love's hidden secrets, come what may,
Love's hidden secrets, come what may,
Such sorrow in its melody,
And in my heart, the world did depart.
Such sorrow in its melody,
And in my heart, the world did depart.

Hearing these songs, so full of grace,
Hearing these songs, so full of grace,
On branches, flowers find their place,
On branches, flowers find their place,
Behold, the dark eye opens wide,
And in my heart, the world did depart.
Behold, the dark eye opens wide,
And in my heart, the world did depart.
In gardens, the cuckoo's song did start,
And in my heart, the world did depart.
