ek paheli tum se punchu
soch samaj ke batlana
puncho na puncho na
aag lage jo dariya me to
machli jaye kaha bolo na
bolo na bolo na

dariya ko chod ke vo
pedo pe chad jaye
ya to sari ki sari
kheto me chup jaye
are waha waha waha
waha waha waha

ek paheli tum se punchu
soch samaj ke batlana
puncho na puncho na
suraj raat ko nikle
to chand bechara jaye kaha
bolo na bolo na bolo na

aaj leke sitaro sang chanda
kyu na kar de suraj pe vo hamla
taro ke pankh tutege khub patake chutege
suraj bhgta jayega
chanda beand bajayega
dm dadm dm dm dadm dm
pm pa pa pm pa pa pm

ek paheli tum se punchu
soch samaj ke batlana
puncho na puncho na
sabhi sayane ho jaye to
pagal sare jaye kaha
bolo na bolo na bolo na

A riddle I whisper to you,
ponder it, and then declare.
Ask not, question not.
If fire consumes the ocean's breast,
where does the fish then fare?
Speak, speak, speak.

Leaving the ocean's embrace,
does it climb the trees in flight?
Or hide itself, entirely,
within the fields of light?
Oh, there, there, there, there!
There, there, there, there!

A riddle I whisper to you,
ponder it, and then declare.
Ask not, question not.
When the sun unfurls in night,
where does the moon then bear?
Speak, speak, speak.

Tonight, with the stars as kin,
why not the moon attack the sun?
The stars' wings will break and shatter,
firecrackers explode and scatter.
The sun will flee, in endless chase,
the moon will play a mocking grace.
Dum da-dum dum dum, da-dum dum,
Pam pa pa pam pa pa pam.

A riddle I whisper to you,
ponder it, and then declare.
Ask not, question not.
When all become wise and learned,
where do the mad then dare?
Speak, speak, speak.
