are kaise mitti ke madhav se pala pada
are kaise mitti ke madhav se pala pada
soche na samajhe aisa akal pe tala pada
kaise mitti ke madhav se pala pada
kaise mitti ke madhav se pala pada

apano ke sang karata hai begano si baate
kaisa diwana hai ye
jisake liye maine gujari jaag ke raate
kaisa anjana hai ye
iske hi ghum me gora badan ye kala pada
kaise mitti ke madhav se pala pada

dekhe ayina to na khud ko pehchane
samajhe koyi aur hai
phir bhi mere hontho pe hai kisake tarane
dil pe koyi jor hai
mera sajan hai sare jahan se nirala bada
kaise mitti ke madhav se pala pada

kaise mitti ke madhav se pala pada
soche na samajhe aisa akal pe tala pada
kaise mitti ke madhav se pala pada

Oh, how did I stumble upon this clay-born dream?
Oh, how did I meet this form of earth and gleam?
Thoughtless, unseeing, a lock on reason's door, it seems.
How did I meet this clay-born dream?
How did I meet this clay-born dream?

With kin, it speaks as if strangers convene,
A madman's heart, it would seem.
For whom I've spent nights, awake and keen,
An unknown face, it would seem.
In its sorrow, my pale form now stained, it would seem.
How did I meet this clay-born dream?

It looks in the mirror, yet itself does not know,
Thinking another's there, it would seem.
Yet on my lips, whose melodies flow?
My heart, against its will, it would seem.
My beloved, unique, a world of its own, it would seem.
How did I meet this clay-born dream?

How did I meet this clay-born dream?
Thoughtless, unseeing, a lock on reason's door, it seems.
How did I meet this clay-born dream?
