bhole panchhi dole pinjara tera
bhole panchhi dole pinjara tera
yaado ki barkha aanho ki aandhi
yaado ki barkha aanho ki aandhi
gam ke baadal ne tujhe ghera re
bhole panchhi dole pinjara tera
bhole panchhi dole pinjara tera

chalti rahegi aankh micholi
jag me milan bichadan ki
chalti rahegi aankh micholi
jag me milan bichadan ki
kabhi hansaaye kabhi rulaaye
wahi ghata saavan ki
aaj tu apne meet se bichhada
aaj tu apne meet se bichhada
basega kal ye basera re
bhole panchhi dole pinjara tera
bhole panchhi dole pinjara tera

jeevan hai ek rain andheri
re man mat ghabraana
o jeevan hai ek rain andheri
re man mat ghabraana
thes lage to girkar uthana
aage badhate jaana
dukh ki raat kabhi to kategi
dukh ki raat kabhi to kategi
chamkega sukh ka svera
bhole panchhi dole pinjara tera
bhole panchhi dole pinjara tera

The innocent bird trembles, your cage sways.
The innocent bird trembles, your cage sways.
Memories pour, a storm of sighs,
Memories pour, a storm of sighs,
Clouds of sorrow have gathered round you.
The innocent bird trembles, your cage sways.
The innocent bird trembles, your cage sways.

The game of hide-and-seek goes on,
Of meeting and parting in the world,
The game of hide-and-seek goes on,
Of meeting and parting in the world,
Sometimes it laughs, sometimes it weeps,
That same monsoon cloud.
Today you are parted from your friend,
Today you are parted from your friend,
Tomorrow, this dwelling will settle.
The innocent bird trembles, your cage sways.
The innocent bird trembles, your cage sways.

Life is a dark night,
O mind, do not be afraid,
Life is a dark night,
O mind, do not be afraid,
If you stumble, rise and get up,
Keep moving forward.
The night of sorrow will end someday,
The night of sorrow will end someday,
The dawn of joy will shine.
The innocent bird trembles, your cage sways.
The innocent bird trembles, your cage sways.
