chhoti si ek kali khili thi
chhoti si ek kali khili thi
ek din baag mein, jyot jali thi charaagon mein
phir kya huwa koyi jaane na, jaane na
chhoti si ek kali khili thi
ek din baag mein, jyot jali thi charaagon mein
phir kya huwa koyi jaane na, jaane na

use maali ne bade pyaar se paala, mast pawan ke jhule mein daala
use maali ne bade pyaar se paala, mast pawan ke jhule mein daala
aage kahun keh na saku, chu rahu reh na saku
phir kya huwa koyi jaane na, jaane na
chhoti si ek kali khili thi baag mein

aaya baag mein ik phul waala, jaane usane kya jaadu daala
aaya baag mein ik phul waala, jaane usane kya jaadu daala
phulwale ki jholi mein tutake gir padi kali
phir kya huwa koyi jaane na, jaane na
chhoti si ek kali khili thi baag mein

baag chhod ake kehata tha koyi, maali ki yaad mein kali bada royi
baag chhod ake kehata tha koyi, maali ki yaad mein kali bada royi
kachcha dhaaga tut gaya, phulwaala chhut gaya
phir kya huwa koyi jaane na, koyi jaane na
chhoti si ek kali khili thi
ek din baag mein, jyot jali thi charaagon mein
phir kya huwa koyi jaane na, jaane na, jaane na

A tiny bud bloomed,
A tiny bud bloomed,
One day in the garden, a light flickered in the lamp,
Then what happened, no one knows, no one knows.
A tiny bud bloomed.

The gardener nurtured it with love,
Swung it in the breeze's cradle,
I wish I could speak, but I cannot,
I wish I could be silent, but I cannot.
Then what happened, no one knows, no one knows,
A tiny bud bloomed in the garden.

A flower seller came to the garden,
Who knows what magic he cast,
Into the flower seller's basket, the bud broke and fell,
Then what happened, no one knows, no one knows,
A tiny bud bloomed in the garden.

Leaving the garden, someone said,
The bud wept greatly, remembering the gardener,
The thread of life snapped, the flower seller departed,
Then what happened, no one knows, no one knows,
A tiny bud bloomed,
One day in the garden, a light flickered in the lamp,
Then what happened, no one knows, no one knows, no one knows.
