jhula jhulaaye yeh panghat
nadiya kinaare yeh aangan
nindiya too aana hawa ke sang
mujhko bhi tu dikhaana apane rang
suno mere diljaani yeh kahaani maani
ek din mere sang yeh jaha tha
mera kuchh aur tera hi armaan
jaane dil mein kya kuchh yeh basa tha
yeh meri hai kahaani ye meri kahaani

jhula jhulaaye yeh panghat
nadiya kinaare yeh aangan
nindiya tu aana hawa ke sang
mujhko bhi tu dikhana apane rang
tera mera galiyo main yu phirna
phirte phirte rat ko yu thakna
thak ke naani ki godi mein sona
pariyo ke desh jake nahaana
yeh meri hai kahaani ye meri kahaani

koyi phikar thi na koyi bahaana
muththi mein tha jaise jamaana
kachchi jubaan mein wo geet gaana
naye khilaune sabko dikhaana
maang liya jindagi se jyada
chhin gaya woh jisne kiya waada
kaun laaye woh pal jo suhaane
bite the jo woh gujre jamaane
ye meri hai kahaani ye meri hai kahaani

The well swings, a cradle of light,
By the river's edge, a courtyard bright.
Slumber, come carried on the breeze,
Show me your colors, if you please.

Listen, my beloved, to this lore,
Once, with me, the whole world did soar.
My desires, and yours aligned,
What dreams in our hearts entwined.
This is my tale, my very own.

The well swings, a cradle of light,
By the river's edge, a courtyard bright.
Slumber, come carried on the breeze,
Show me your colors, if you please.

We wandered the lanes, you and I,
Weary by night, beneath the sky.
Tired, to grandma's lap we'd creep,
And to fairy lands, in slumber deep.
This is my tale, my very own.

No worry then, no pretense to hide,
The world held within our hand inside.
In a childish tongue, our songs we'd sing,
And new toys for all, we would bring.
We asked for more than life could hold,
He broke the vow, his story told.
Who can bring back those moments of grace,
The bygone days, time cannot replace?
This is my tale, my very own.
