bulbul mere bata kya hai meri khata
kismat me nahi meri pyar kyu kisi ka
bulbul mere bata kya hai meri khata
kismat me nahi meri pyar kyu kisi ka
aara ra ru aara ra ru
aara ra ru aara ra ru

kehte hai dundhne se bhagwan bhi milta hai
jise jindagi bhar dunhda
hume vo kyu na mila
sunte hai pyar se to
pathar bhi pighalte hai
pooja se bhi na pighla
kyu mera devta
aara ra ru aara ra ru
aara ra ru aara ra ru
bulbul use bata
jisko hai ye gila
bulbul use bata
jisko hai ye gila
halat ke hatho majbur dil mera
halat ke hatho majbur dil mera
aara ra ru aara ra ru
aara ra ru aara ra ru

na tu hi bewafa hai
na mai hi bewafa hu
dil milke bhi ho kaise ye raste juda
hum chahe to kya hoga
tum chaho to kya hoga
hai waqt ke hatho me
kismat ka faisla
aara ra ru aara ra ru
aara ra ru aara ra ru
bulbul mere bata kya hai meri khata
halat ke hatho majbur dil mera
aara ra ru aara ra ru
aara ra ru aara ra ru

Nightingale, tell me, what wrong have I done?
Why is love’s embrace forever undone?
Nightingale, tell me, what wrong have I done?
Why is love’s embrace forever undone?
Ara ra ru, ara ra ru
Ara ra ru, ara ra ru

They say, with searching, even God can be found,
The one I sought my whole life, why was he unbound?
They say with love, even stones will melt and yield,
My god remained unmoved, on life's cruel field.
Ara ra ru, ara ra ru
Ara ra ru, ara ra ru
Nightingale, tell him, the one with this plea,
My heart is held captive by fate's decree.
Nightingale, tell him, the one with this plea,
My heart is held captive by fate's decree.
Ara ra ru, ara ra ru
Ara ra ru, ara ra ru

Neither you are faithless, nor am I untrue,
How can paths converge, then split in two?
What is our will, what your heart desires?
Fate holds the judgment, fueling life’s fires.
Ara ra ru, ara ra ru
Ara ra ru, ara ra ru
Nightingale, tell me, what wrong have I done?
My heart is held captive by fate's decree.
Ara ra ru, ara ra ru
Ara ra ru, ara ra ru
