more baalapan ke saathi chhaila bhul jayiyo na
kyu geet birah ke gati maina bhul jaiyo na
more baalapan ke saathi chhaila bhul jayiyo na
kyu geet birah ke gati maina bhul jaiyo na

jis din se dekha tumhe baalam
ho dil mein mere baanware
jis din se dekha tumhe baalam
ho dil mein mere baanware

bhatak bhatak ke panchhi tera
bhatak bhatak ke panchhi tera
aa raha apne shahar mein
mera dil hans hans jata
mera dil machala jaye
more baalapan ke saathi
chhaila bhul jayiyo na
kyu geet birah ke gati
maina bhul jaiyo na

Childhood friend, Chhaila, forget me not,
Why does the Myna sing songs of separation? Forget me not.
Childhood friend, Chhaila, forget me not,
Why does the Myna sing songs of separation? Forget me not.

The day I saw you, Beloved,
My heart became a wild thing,
The day I saw you, Beloved,
My heart became a wild thing.

Wandering, wandering, your bird,
Wandering, wandering, your bird,
Returns to its own city,
My heart laughs and leaps,
My heart trembles and yearns.
Childhood friend,
Chhaila, forget me not,
Why does the Myna sing songs of separation?
Forget me not.
