hawa basant ki dol rahi thi
ban me koyal bol rahi thi
hawa basant ki dol rahi thi
ban me koyal bol rahi thi
khel rahi thi main ithlati
hansti gaati mauj udati
koi liye khilaune aaya
man bahlakar man me samaya
phir kya hua

pihar chhuta nir bahaye
aaye hai ab desh paraye, pihar chhuta
kab preet ka, kab preet ka desh paraya
kab preet ka desh paraya
kab preet ka
is desh me nit nit sajni
sukh chain ka badal chhaya
kab preet ka
kab preet ka desh paraya
kab preet ka desh paraya
kab preet ka
kali kali par bhanwara ghume
daali daali jhume
pag pag oas lutaye moti
pag pag oas lutaye moti
aaya pritam aaya
kab preet ka
kab preet ka desh paraya
kab preet ka desh paraya
kab preet ka

The spring wind swayed, a whispered grace,
Within the wood, the cuckoo's embrace.
I danced and played, with laughter's art,
A joyful soul, a beating heart.
He came with toys, a fleeting guise,
To soothe my heart, then in it lies.
And then, what followed, swift and deep...

My father's home, now left behind,
Tears unleashed, a different kind.
A stranger's land, a love unknown,
When did love's true home become my own?
When did love's home become foreign,
When did love's home become foreign,
When did love's...

In this new land, each passing day,
A cloud of comfort holds its sway.
When did love's...
When did love's home become foreign,
When did love's home become foreign,
When did love's...

On every bud, the bumblebee,
Dances in the light, wild and free.
Each step, the dew, a pearl so bright,
Each step, the dew, a pearl so bright.
My beloved came, a welcome sight,
When did love's...
When did love's home become foreign,
When did love's home become foreign,
When did love's...
