mai mai qartoon
phul jab khila to aayi saukh titliya
aashiya bana to aaye ghir ke bijaliya
dar rahi hai agar najar aarju ka phul
mai mai mai mai qartoon
baj baj rah hai bar bar salun
mai mai mai mai qartoon

I am a cartoon, a painted mask,
When the flower bloomed, desires, butterflies took to flight,
And as a nest formed, storms gathered, lightning's strike.
Fear grips the gaze, where longing's bloom resides.
I am a cartoon, a painted mask.
The saloon keeps calling, a constant chime,
I, I, I, I am a cartoon, bound by time.
