chhat par kala kauva baitha kay kay karta rehta
chhat par kala kauva baitha kay kay karta rehta

jhuth bole kauva kate, jhuth bole kauva kate

ek thi ladki ek tha ladka dono ka dil sath me dhadka
ek thi ladki ek tha ladka dono ka dil sath me dhadka
dil ke ander shola badhka bas aage hum nahi batate
jhuth bole kauva kate, jhuth bole kauva kate
jhuth bole kauva kate, jhuth bole kauva kate

tauba tauba ram duhayi hamne kahe aankh ladhayi
tauba tauba ram duhayi hamne kahe aankh ladhayi
chain gavaya nind gavayi is saude me kitne ghate
jhuth bole kauva kate, jhuth bole kauva kate
jhuth bole kauva kate, jhuth bole kauva kate

prem kahani rani raja khula huwa hai har darwaja
prem kahani rani raja khula huwa hai har darwaja
yar pukare aaja aaja humne kaha ja ham nahi aate
jhuth bole kauva kate, jhuth bole kauva kate
jhuth bole kauva kate, jhuth bole kauva kate
chhat par kala kauva baitha kay kay karta rehata
chhat par kala kauva baitha kay kay karta rehata
sabse kehta aate
jhuth bole kauva kate, jhuth bole kauva kate
jhuth bole kauva kate, jhuth bole kauva kate

Upon the roof, a crow of night, it sits and cries,
Upon the roof, a crow of night, it sits and cries,
To all who pass, it calls aloud,
"Lies the crow will carve, lies the crow will carve,"
"Lies the crow will carve, lies the crow will carve."

A maiden fair, a youth so bold, their hearts entwined as one,
A maiden fair, a youth so bold, their hearts entwined as one,
Within their souls, a fire was born, the rest we shall not speak,
"Lies the crow will carve, lies the crow will carve,"
"Lies the crow will carve, lies the crow will carve."

Repentance deep, a plea to skies, why did our eyes collide?
Repentance deep, a plea to skies, why did our eyes collide?
We lost our peace, our sleep we lost, in this a bitter trade,
"Lies the crow will carve, lies the crow will carve,"
"Lies the crow will carve, lies the crow will carve."

A tale of love, a queen, a king, a door forever swung,
A tale of love, a queen, a king, a door forever swung,
The friend now calls, "Come hither, now," We say, "We shall not come,"
"Lies the crow will carve, lies the crow will carve,"
"Lies the crow will carve, lies the crow will carve."
Upon the roof, a crow of night, it sits and cries,
Upon the roof, a crow of night, it sits and cries,
To all who pass, it calls aloud,
"Lies the crow will carve, lies the crow will carve,"
"Lies the crow will carve, lies the crow will carve."
