par bacha to kya ek din mai
budha ho jaunga baitha baitha khasunga
or yu hi chillaunga ale kaha mal gaye sab
kya samjhe nahi samjhe, jane do

The hen or the egg, which came first?
Hen egg hen egg hen
The hen or the egg, which came first?
Who can grasp this, who can know?
None understand, none can see,
Wise men fail, the secret unseen.
What riddle is this, speak!

They say the mouse flees, cat's fear its might,
But I am the mouse that makes the cat take flight.
Cat ahead, behind, ahead,
Behind, ahead, behind, the cat ahead, the mouse behind,
Mouse ahead, cat behind, here it flees, there it flees,
Fleeing ahead, fleeing behind, fleeing, fleeing.
They say the mouse flees, cat's fear its might,
But I am the mouse that makes the cat take flight.
And the cat? I'd humble a lion's pride,
High, low, low, high, low, high, high, low,
Hair or hide? I'd stuff it all with straw.
Stuff it, stuff it, and the cat? I'd humble a lion's pride,
Hair or hide? I'd stuff it all with straw.
Understand? Understand?
You don't understand, let it be.
The hen or the egg, which came first?
Hen egg hen egg hen
The hen or the egg, which came first?
Who can grasp this, who can know?
None understand, none can see,
Wise men fail, the secret unseen.
What riddle is this, speak!

Sometimes my heart yearns, how sweet it would be,
To stay a small child, eternally.
Mama, bread, Mama, milk, I'd call,
Bread and milk, I'm hungry, I want it all,
Or else, I'll beat you, I shall make you crawl.
But child or not, one day,
I'll be old, wrinkled, and gray,
Sitting and eating, and shouting all the day,
Where did they go, the people, where did they all go?
Understand? You don't understand, let it be.
The hen or the egg, which came first?
Hen egg hen egg hen
The hen or the egg, which came first?
Who can grasp this, who can know?
None understand, none can see,
Wise men fail, the secret unseen.
What riddle is this, speak!

You strut about, as if you're so fair,
You, you, you, you, and even you!
You strut about, as if you're so fair,
Look here, I am the father of all the fair!
No anger in this, where are you going, my Lord?
You won't find another, as tender-hearted as I am.
The beloved, contractor, policeman, guard, the confidante,
The watchman, the headman, the questioner.
Understand? You don't understand, let it be.
The hen or the egg, which came first?
Hen egg hen egg hen
The hen or the egg, which came first?
Who can grasp this, who can know?
None understand, none can see,
Wise men fail, the secret unseen.
What riddle is this, speak!
