bheju kaise sandes apne pritam ke desh
bheji kaise sandes apne pritam ke desh
haye koi mujhe milta nahi
kaun jaye karib leke paati meri

bhanvre bheju tujhe par mujhe dar hai
wo bhi kaliyo ka rash pi ke ful jayega
wo bhi kaliyo ka rash pi ke ful jayega
aur mera sandesa bhi bhul jayega
aur mera sandesa bhi bhul jayega
meri nanhi pudi aa kar lu teri

rah aath hi na pahunchegi laut aayegi
rah aath hi na pahunchegi laut aayegi
mere baba ne bat meri man li

mere baba ne bat meri man li

My Father, He has heard my plea,
My Father, He has heard my plea,
The wise one, the sage, the kind one,
My good Father, He has heard my plea,
My good Father, He has heard my plea,
My Father, He has heard my plea,
My Father, He has heard my plea.

How shall I send a message to my beloved's land?
How shall I send a message to my beloved's land?
Alas, no one I find to guide my hand,
Who will go near, bearing my longing's strand?
Who will go near, bearing my longing's strand?
My Father, He has heard my plea,
My Father, He has heard my plea.

The bumblebee I send, yet fear takes hold,
That it, too, will drink of blossoms, grow bold,
That it, too, will drink of blossoms, grow bold,
And forget the message I have told.
And forget the message I have told.
My tiny dove, I'll beckon thee to me,
My tiny dove, I'll beckon thee to me,
Oh, what of this, will it go astray?
Oh, what of this, will it go astray?
The path unclear, it will turn away,
The path unclear, it will turn away.
My Father, He has heard my plea,
My Father, He has heard my plea.

Speak, parrot, my Myna, my friend so true,
All my words, it will speak anew,
It will not forget, no, no, it will say,
My lovely, sweet Myna,
My good, pure Myna,
My lovely, sweet Myna,
My good, pure Myna,
Take my news to my love's dear home,
Take my news to my love's dear home,
My Father, He has heard my plea,
My Father, He has heard my plea.

Tell him, now, to call me near to him,
Tell him, now, to call me near to him,
Thirsty for his sight, without him, dim,
Thirsty for his sight, without him, dim,
Do not delay, fly swiftly, soar and go, fly swiftly, soar and go,
My lovely, sweet Myna, my good, pure Myna,
My lovely, sweet Myna, my good, pure Myna,
Take news to my love's home, to my love's home,
My Father, He has heard my plea,
My Father, He has heard my plea.
