ek bhalu ki suno kahani
chod ke jungle sahar me aaya
usne kisi ki bat na mani
kar baitha insa se mohabbat
kra baitha insan se mohabbat
dekho bhalu ki nadani
ek bhalu ki suno kahani
chod ke jungle sahar me aaya

acha uncle phir kya hota hain,
usne socha sahar me aakar
ek sukhi sansar milega
gale lagayenge sab usko
pyar ke badle pyar milega
pyar ki dhun me nachta bhalu
jab aa pahucha insano me
pyar mila pal bhar ko aur phir
pyar mila pal bhar ko aur phir
nafrat payi begano me
aas badi thi insano ne
insano ne kadar na jani
ek bhalu ki suno kahani
chod ke jungle sahar me aaya

insano ke nagar se bhalu
pyar ki bazi har ke lauta
batne sukh aaya tha lekin
dukh leke sansar ke lauta
kahta gaya ro ro ke bhalu
kabhi na sahar me aaunga mai
sunke dur ke dhol suhane
sunke dur ke dhol suhane
ab nahi dhokha khaunga mai
sabse wafa ki aasha rakhna
is dunia me hai nadani
ek bhalu ki suno kahani
chod ke jungle sahar me aaya.

Hear now the bear's lament, a tale,
He left the woods, to find the town.
He heeded not the forest's wail,
And fell in love, he brought it down,
With humankind, a tragic crown,
Behold the bear's folly profound,
Hear now the bear's lament, a tale,
He left the woods, to find the town.

"And then, dear friend, what next, I pray?"
He thought, arriving in the sphere,
A world of joy, to light his way,
Where arms would open, banishing fear,
Love for love, would ever be near.
The bear danced to love's tender strain,
When he joined the human throng,
Love he found, but only pain,
Love he found, and then the wrong,
He met hate from strangers' song.
Deeds of the humans were so vain,
Their hearts, the bear did not attain,
Hear now the bear's lament, a tale,
He left the woods, to find the town.

From the city of man, the bear,
Love's game lost, he turned away,
Seeking joy, he found despair,
Sorrow's weight, he bore that day.
Sobbing, the bear did say,
"Never shall I the city greet.
Hearing distant drums so bright,
Hearing distant drums so bright,
Never again shall I be beat.
To trust in all, a foolish feat,
In this world of woes and fray,"
Hear now the bear's lament, a tale,
He left the woods, to find the town.
