amwa ki dali pe koyal bole koyal bole re koyal bole
prem ki nadi me man ki naiya dag mag dole re dag mag dole
amwa ki dali pe koyal bole koyal bole re koyal bole
kisi ne dil ko mere kya kar diya
kya kar diya haye kya kar diya
kisi ne haye kisi ne dil ko mere kya kar diya
kya kar diya haye kya kar diya
man ka papiha bole piya piya piya piya haye piay piya
kisi ke jaal me fas gaye re naino ka panchi bole bole
amwa ki dali pe koyal bole koyal bole re koyal bole

praano me mere lagi pram ki aag re
prem ki aag re prem ki aag
das gaye das gaye das gaye naino ke naag re
naino ke naag re naino ke naag
preet tumse badhti jaye hole hole hole hole re hole hole
amwa ki dali pe koyal bole koyal bole re koyal bole
suni atariya ka depak roye depak roye re depak roye
main to jagu meri kismat soye kismat soye haye kismat soye
tha ke pardesh piya ghughanat khole
ghughanat khole re ghughanat khole
amwa ki dali pe koyal bole koyal bole re koyal bole
prem ki nadi me man ki naiya
dag mag dole re dag mag dole
re naina dole dole re

Upon the mango's limb, the cuckoo calls,
The cuckoo sings, its song enthralls.
In love's deep river, the heart's small boat,
Sways gently, swaying afloat.

What has someone done to my heart?
What have they done, tearing it apart?
Oh, what have they done, this someone unknown?
What have they done, to my heart alone?
My heart, a parrot, cries, "Beloved, beloved, I yearn,"
In someone's web, my eyes now burn.
Upon the mango's limb, the cuckoo sings,
The cuckoo calls, its sorrow it brings.

In my soul, the fire of love now burns,
Love's raging fire, forever it yearns.
My eyes, like serpents, have bitten and stung,
Serpent eyes, their venom they’ve flung.
My love for you grows slowly, surely.
Upon the mango's limb, the cuckoo sings,
The cuckoo calls, its sorrow it brings.

The lamp of my empty room weeps, cries,
While I awaken, my fate now lies.
My love, he departs, my veil he'll raise,
Unveiling secrets in a loving haze.
Upon the mango's limb, the cuckoo sings,
The cuckoo calls, its sorrow it brings.
In love's deep river, the heart's small boat,
Sways gently, swaying afloat.
The boat is swaying, swaying, swaying.
