kuch din pahle ek tal me kamal kunj ke andar rahta tha
ek hans ka joda ek hans ka joda
kuch din pahle ek tal me kamal kunj ke andar rahta tha
ek hans ka joda ek hans ka joda
ek hans ka joda ek hans ka joda

roz roz roz bhor hote hi jab khil jate kamal
dur dur dur moti chungne ko hans ghar se jata nikal
roz roz roz bhor hote hi jab khil jate kamal
dur dur dur moti chungne ko hans ghar se jata nikal
sandhya hote hi sandhya hote ghar ko aata jhum jhum ke
kuch din pahle ek tal me kamal kunj ke andar rahta tha
ek hans ka joda ek hans ka joda
ek hans ka joda ek hans ka joda

jab jab chip jata tha din tare jate the khil
so jate hil mil ke wo dono jaise lahro ke dil
jab jab chip jata tha din tare jate the khil
so jate hil mil ke wo dono jaise lahro ke dil chanda hasta
chanda hasta dono ke mukh chum chum ke
kuch din pahle ek tal me kamal kunj ke andar kaun tha
ek hans ka joda ek hans ka joda
ek hans ka joda ek hans ka joda

thi unki ek nanhi si beti choti si hansani
dono ke naino ki wo jyoti ghar ki roshni
thi unki ek nanhi si beti choti si hansani
dono ke naino ki wo jyoti ghar ki roshni
mamta gati mamta gati or mushkati jhum jhum ke
kuch din pahle ek tal me kamal kunj ke andar kaun tha
ek hans ka joda ek hans ka joda
ek hans ka joda ek hans ka joda

fir ek din aisa tufan aaya chali aisi hawa
fir ek din aisa tufan aaya chali aisi hawa
bechare hansa ud gayi re hoke sabse juda
sagar sagar sagar sagar sagar sagar roti hai
ab ghum ghum ke ghum ghum ke

Once, in a lake of lotus bloom, they made their home,
A pair of swans, a cherished, feathered dome.
Once, in a lake of lotus bloom, they made their home,
A pair of swans, their hearts had found their roam.
A pair of swans, a bond of purest grace.

Each dawn, as lotus petals start to gleam,
The swan would leave, to follow a pearl-fed dream.
Each dawn, as lotus petals start to gleam,
To find the pearls, beside the flowing stream.
As evening fell, as twilight starts to bloom,
They’d return home, dismissing all gloom.
Once, in a lake of lotus bloom, they made their home,
A pair of swans, their hearts had found their roam.
A pair of swans, a bond of purest grace.

When day would hide, and stars would start to rise,
They'd sleep entwined, like secrets in the skies.
When day would hide, and stars would start to rise,
Together they would embrace the night's surprise.
The moon would smile, upon their loving gaze,
Kissing their faces, in a gentle haze.
Once, in a lake of lotus bloom, they made their home,
A pair of swans, their hearts had found their roam.
A pair of swans, a bond of purest grace.

They had a daughter, small and filled with light,
A little swan, a beacon burning bright.
They had a daughter, small and filled with light,
Their eyes' true joy, their home's most precious sight.
Mother's love sang, her heart's sweet refrain,
And smiled, dancing in sun and rain.
Once, in a lake of lotus bloom, they made their home,
A pair of swans, their hearts had found their roam.
A pair of swans, a bond of purest grace.

Then came a storm, a tempest in the air,
Then came a storm, a cruel and bitter snare,
The father swan was blown away, alone,
Across the sea, he was gone.
The sea, the sea, the sea weeps without end,
Now she roams, and she bends.
