kaise kah du mujhe o kaise kah du mujhe
kya ho gaya o kya ho gaya kaise kah du mujhe o
kaise kah du mujhe kya ho gaya kya ho gaya
jo sardi ke kapdo me aata hai
karke bechain mujhko jagata tha
aaj dekha usko mera dil kho kho gaya
kaise kah du use o kaise kah du use
kya ho gaya kya ho gaya

jab se najariya us se ladi
chain na paya ghadi do ghadi
mai to soch hi rahi hu khadi hi khadi
kya mujhpe musibat aan padi
koi to bata de koi samjha de mera dil
kyu mujhse juda ho gaya kaise kah du mujhe o
kaise kah du mujhe kya ho gaya kya ho gaya

kuhu kuhu karke kaali koyaliya
dekho mujhko taane mare ab to aaja o bedardi
baiti hu mai man ko hare
koi dekhe use koi dunde use
vo bedardi sa mera kaha kho gaya

kaise kah du mujhe o kaise kah du mujhe
kya ho gaya kya ho gaya kya ho gaya kya ho gaya
jo sardi ke kapdo me aata hai karke bechain mujhko jagata tha
aaj dekha use to mera dil kho gaya
kaise kah du use o kaise kah du use

How can I say, how can I say to myself?
What has become, oh what has become?
How can I say, how can I say to myself?
What has become, what has become?

He who comes in winter's cloak,
Agitates, awakens, sets me in a choke.
Today I saw him, and my heart was lost,
How can I tell him, how can I confess?
What has become, what has become?

Since my gaze met his own,
Peace I've known not, hour by hour flown.
I stand and ponder, lost in thought's maze,
What ill fate has fallen on my days?
Someone tell me, someone explain my plight,
Why my heart feels so far from light?
How can I say, how can I say to myself?
What has become, what has become?

The black cuckoo calls with taunting glee,
Mocking my sorrow, "Come back to me, oh cruel one!"
I sit defeated, my spirit gone astray,
Someone seek him, find him, come what may.
Where has he gone, that heartless one of mine?

How can I say, how can I say to myself?
What has become, what has become, what has become?
He who comes in winter's cloak,
Agitates, awakens, sets me in a choke.
Today I saw him, and my heart was lost,
How can I tell him, how can I confess?
