champaakali hai udaas bhanvaraa na aa_e paas

rup hai rag hai jivan bharaa hai bhari hu_i hai suvaas
kaun kami mujh me re bhanvare kaahe karat niraas
champaakali hai udaas

phulo ke gaalo me laali bhari hai
champaakali teri pili padi hai
piyaa milan ki aas
champaakali hai udaas

The Champak flower sighs, a shadow in the light,
The black bee keeps its distance, shunning all the bright.

Beauty I possess, a life that overflows,
Fragrance I exhale, where sweet the essence goes.
What flaw resides within? Why does the black bee flee?
The Champak flower sighs, in mournful reverie.

Crimson kisses bloom upon the petals' face,
But your yellow heart, Champak, finds no sweet embrace.
Longing for a lover, a whispered, fervent prayer,
The Champak flower sighs, consumed by deep despair.
