O BEKASO ke wali is wakt tu kaha hai
o bekaso ke wali is wakt tu kaha hai
is wakt tu kaha hai ek kasam kas mai
aakar e janna gawa hai tu kaha tu
kaha hai o bekaso wali tu wakt tu kaha
hai es wakt tu kaha hai pahle chaman
khapha hai naraj bagwa hai daure
hija ke hatho bar bad gul sita hai
har ek sah gul par bijli ka aasiya
hai kul tilka tilka tilka aab nam
dui ja hai tu kaha ae bekaso wali is
wakt tu kaha hai is tu kaha hai tu
kaha hai papa kasam hai teri jo je ke
jaliyo ki
balak hai gair jo deke jaliyo ki gulsan ke
maliyo ki hal aaya na khabar aasik ke haliyo
ki kur baniyo mai sabki aachhi kahaniya

O Guardian of the forlorn, where are You now?
O Guardian of the forlorn, where are You now?
A vow, a test, the knowing soul departs.
Where are You? Where? O Guardian of the forlorn,
where are You now? Where are You now?
First, the garden weeps, its bloom betrayed.
The gardener enraged, the season's hand,
a storm, and the rose, torn from every branch.
Lightning strikes the rose's nest.
All, fragmented, fragmented,
a flood of names, a duality. Where?
O Guardian of the forlorn, where are You now?
Where are You now? Where? Where?
By Your promise, by the faith of the seekers,
the children, not the intruders, of the garden,
the gardeners, their condition unrevealed.
The lover's state unknown,
in sacrifices, the best of tales remain.
