chanchal bada mere man ka hiran
jhole hai ban ban jaise pawan
chanchal bada mere man ka hiran
jhole hai ban ban jaise pawan
morani saheli nahi mai akeli
o morani saheli nahi mai akeli
maina meri choti bahana
chanchal bada mere man ka hiran
jhole hai ban ban jaise pawan

dharti ne jhuda bandha hai
ya unche parwat ki choti
mang nikali nadi ne
shor bada khud hai choti
tan ki hai kali mithi wo chaniya
koyal hai apni ghume magan
chanchal bada mere man ka hiran
jhole hai ban ban jaise pawan

inder dhanus jaisa pyara
ambar me dekho hai sapna
natkhat hai jal ki tarange
sikha hai dil ne machalana
badal se chhankar aayi kiran
phulo ke sang mere nache nayan
chanchal bada mere man ka hiran
jhole hai ban ban jaise pawan
morani saheli, nahi mai akeli
oo ho morani saheli nahi mai akeli
mai na meri choti bahana
chanchal bada mere man ka hiran
jhole hai ban ban jaise pawan

My mind, a restless deer, it leaps and bounds,
Through forests vast, where sacred peace resounds.
My mind, a restless deer, it leaps and bounds,
Through forests vast, where sacred peace resounds.
No solitary soul, a peahen's grace,
No solitary soul, in time and space.
My sister, a mynah, sings her sweet refrain,
My mind, a restless deer, through wind and rain.

The earth, she braids her hair of mountain high,
The river’s cry, a whisper to the sky.
Though small myself, the noise it makes is grand,
My body, dark, a sweet and earthy land.
The cuckoo sings, a dance within the soul,
My mind, a restless deer, the breezes roll.
My mind, a restless deer, through wind and rain.

A rainbow bright, a dream the heavens weave,
The playful waves, the heart has learned to grieve.
The sun's soft light, filtered from up above,
With flowers bloom, my dancing eyes of love.
My mind, a restless deer, through wind and rain.
No solitary soul, a peahen's grace,
No solitary soul, in time and space.
My sister, a mynah, sings her sweet refrain,
My mind, a restless deer, through wind and rain.
