bol o babu kaha chala
chhuda ke mera palla
o l l l la la la
bol o babu kaha chala
chhuda ke mera palla
o l l l la la la
bol o babu kaha chala

yaad karo wo din pyare
ke tum the humare
ke hum the tumhare
aankho aankho me the ishare
suhane se nazare
bulaye vade sare
bol o babu kaha chala
chhuda ke mera palla
o l l l la la la
bol o babu kaha chala
chhuda ke mera palla
o l l l la la la
bol o babu kaha chala

roz banake ek bahana
wo tera chale aana
wo mera chhup jana
rah rah ke mera ruth jana
aur tera wo manana
kaha hai wo zamana
bol o babu kaha chala
chhuda ke mera palla
o l l l la la la
bol o babu kaha chala
chhuda ke mera palla
o l l l la la la
bol o babu kaha chala

logo me faili sari baate
wo dushmano ki ghate
to tuti mulakate
aankho me chhayi raate
aur bhigi huyi raate
kaha hai wo baate
bol o babu kaha chala
chhuda ke mera palla
o l l l la la la
bol o babu kaha chala
chhuda ke mera palla
o l l l la la la
bol o babu kaha chala

Tell me, Beloved, where do you flee?
Leaving my veil, you set yourself free.
Oh la la la la la
Tell me, Beloved, where do you flee?
Leaving my veil, you set yourself free.
Oh la la la la la
Tell me, Beloved, where do you flee?

Recall those days, so dear and bright,
When you were mine, and I your light.
With glances shared, a secret art,
Sweet scenes that bloomed within the heart,
Where promises held us as one,
Tell me, Beloved, where have you gone?
Leaving my veil, you set yourself free.
Oh la la la la la
Tell me, Beloved, where do you flee?
Leaving my veil, you set yourself free.
Oh la la la la la
Tell me, Beloved, where do you flee?

Each day you'd find a reason to appear,
While I would hide, consumed by fear.
My sulking spells, a playful chase,
Your efforts to soothe my every space,
Where is that time, now fading fast?
Tell me, Beloved, where have you passed?
Leaving my veil, you set yourself free.
Oh la la la la la
Tell me, Beloved, where do you flee?
Leaving my veil, you set yourself free.
Oh la la la la la
Tell me, Beloved, where do you flee?

Whispers spread, the world took hold,
Enemies plotted, stories told.
Our meetings ceased, our hearts grew cold,
Tears like rain, the nights unfold,
Where are those tales, now hushed and still?
Tell me, Beloved, against my will,
Leaving my veil, you set yourself free.
Oh la la la la la
Tell me, Beloved, where do you flee?
Leaving my veil, you set yourself free.
Oh la la la la la
Tell me, Beloved, where do you flee?
