panchhi pinjare me roye
panchhi pinjare me roye
hanse julmi shikari
teri duhai rama teri duhai
teri duhai rama teri duhai
panchhi pinjare me roye

mithi mithi batiya bagal me chhuri hai
ram kasam papi ki niyat buri hai
mithi mithi batiya bagal me chhuri hai
ram kasam papi ki niyat buri hai
panchhi pinjare me roye

pyar hume matlab se karti hai duniya
rup mila aisa ke marti hai duniya

The caged bird weeps,
the caged bird weeps.
The cruel hunter laughs,
a cruel hunter laughs.
I call to you, Rama, I call,
I call to you, Rama, I call.
The caged bird weeps.

Sweet words they speak,
a hidden dagger near.
By Rama's grace, the wicked's heart,
is filled with dark fear.

The caged bird weeps.

Love is a bargain, the world does deal,
for beauty's form, they blindly kneel.
