jab se bulbul tune do tinke liya
jab se bulbul tune do tinke liya
tootati hai bijliyaan in ke liye
jab se bulbul tune do tinke liya
kaun weeraane mein dekhega bahaar
kaun weeraane mein dekhega bahaar
kaun weeraane mein dekhega bahaar
phool jungle mein khile kin ke liye
jab se bulbul tune do tinke liya

saari duniya ke hai wo mere siwa
saari duniya ke hai wo mere siwa
saari duniya ke hai wo mere siwa
mainne duniya chhod di inke liye
jab se bulbul tune do tinke liya
wasl ka din aur itna mukhtasir
wasl ka din aur itna mukhtasir
wasl ka din aur itna mukhtasir
din gine jaate hain is din ke liye
jab se bulbul tune do tinke liya

baaghbaan kaliyaan ho halke rang ki
baaghbaan kaliyaan ho halke rang ki
baaghbaan kaliyaan ho halke rang ki
bhejnee hai ek kamsin ke liye
jab se bulbul tune do tinke liya
tootati hai bijliyaan in ke liye
jab se bulbul tune do tinke liya

Since the bulbul gathered two twigs,
Since the bulbul gathered two twigs,
Lightning breaks for their sake.
Since the bulbul gathered two twigs.

Who in the desolate desert would seek spring?
Who in the desolate desert would seek spring?
Flowers bloom in the wilderness, for whom?
Since the bulbul gathered two twigs.

They belong to the world, except to me,
They belong to the world, except to me,
I have forsaken the world for them.
Since the bulbul gathered two twigs.
The day of union, so brief,
The day of union, so brief,
Days were counted for this very day.
Since the bulbul gathered two twigs.

Gardener, let the blossoms be of light hues,
Gardener, let the blossoms be of light hues,
These hopes, for a tender one.
Since the bulbul gathered two twigs,
Lightning breaks for their sake.
Since the bulbul gathered two twigs.
