teri shehanayi bole, sunake dil meraa dole
julmi kahe ko sunaye aisi tan re
badal ghir ghir aaye, papi papihara gaye
kaise bas me rahe meri jan re aa

bairi banke yeh duniya khadi hai
bairi banke yeh duniya khadi hai
mere panvo me bedi padi hai
kin ghadiyo me ankhiya ladi hain
baron mahine sawan ki jhadi hai
ik pal mukhada dikha ja, dil kaa dukhada mita ja
tujh bin suna suna meraa hai jahan re
teri shehanayi bole, sun ke dil meraa dole
julmi kahe ko sunaye aisi tan re

aaja kab se mai tujhko bulau
aaja kab se mai tujhko bulau tere pyar ke sapne sajau
jiya chahe ke udd ke mai aau piya pankh kahan se mai lau
mai yahan tu waha, bich me hai jahan
kaise pure hon abb arman re
badal ghir ghir aaye, papi papihara gaye
kaise bas me rahe meri jan re
teri shehanayi bole, sun ke dil meraa dole
julmi kahe ko sunaye aisi tan re

O, O, O, O

Your oboe speaks, my heart it sways,
Why sing such tunes, cruel fate conveys?
The clouds descend, the cuckoo cries,
How can my soul contain its sighs?

The world, a foe, it stands so grim,
My feet in chains, my future dim.
In what dark hours did eyes entwine?
A constant deluge, rain's design.
One glimpse of face, let sorrow cease,
Without you, world lacks inner peace.
Your oboe speaks, my heart it sways,
Why sing such tunes, cruel fate conveys?

I call for you, since time began,
I weave your love into my plan.
My soul desires to take to flight,
Oh, where to find such wings of light?
I here, you there, the world between,
How now to make my dreams convene?
The clouds descend, the cuckoo cries,
How can my soul contain its sighs?
Your oboe speaks, my heart it sways,
Why sing such tunes, cruel fate conveys?
