baag me koyaliya yahi gaye
baag me koyaliya yahi gaye
gayi jawani laut na aaye
gayi jawani laut na aaye

khili khili kaliyo ko
bhaura baar baar samjhaye
baar baar samjhaye
khili khili kaliyo ko
bhaura baar baar samjhaye
baar baar samjhaye
gayi jawani laut na aaye
gayi jawani laut na aaye

In gardens, the cuckoo sings its lament,
In gardens, the cuckoo sings its lament,
Youth's fleeting spring, it will not return,
Youth's fleeting spring, it will not return.

The blooming buds, so fragile and fair,
The blooming buds, so fragile and fair,
The bee implores, again and again,
The bee implores, again and again,
Youth's fleeting spring, it will not return,
Youth's fleeting spring, it will not return.
