mai hu teri son chiraiya mujhe kahe uda diya
mai hu teri son chiraiya mujhe kahe uda diya
jane kaisi hai ye khushi jane kaisi hai ye khushi
mujhe jisne rula diya
mai hu teri son chiraiya mujhe kahe uda diya
mai hu teri son chiraiya mujhe kahe uda diya

pal bhar ko bhi kabhi na tune choda mujhe akela
pal bhar ko bhi kabhi na tune choda mujhe akela
jiwan bhar ko karne parayi aayi vida ki bela
tune nata nibha diya tune nata nibha diya
maine babul gava diya
mai hu teri son chiraiya mujhe kahe uda diya
mai hu teri son chiraiya mujhe kahe uda diya

bitiya tu thi jinki amanat unko arpan karke
bitiya tu thi jinki amanat unko arpan karke
sangam snana ka punya mila mujhe kaaj ye puran karke
sukh babul ka ladli sukh babul ka ladli
tune kitna bada diya
teri bholi muskano me mujhe babul bana diya

I was your golden sparrow, why did you let me fly?
I was your golden sparrow, why did you let me fly?
What sort of joy is this, what kind of joy is this?
That has brought me to tears.
I was your golden sparrow, why did you let me fly?
I was your golden sparrow, why did you let me fly?

Never for a moment, did you leave me alone,
Never for a moment, did you leave me alone,
Now to a lifetime of strangers, farewell bells have flown.
You have kept your promise, you have kept your promise,
And I've lost my father's home.
I was your golden sparrow, why did you let me fly?
I was your golden sparrow, why did you let me fly?

Daughter, you were a trust, now offered to them,
Daughter, you were a trust, now offered to them,
A holy dip at the confluence, a sacred deed I've done.
Father, your happiness, Father, your happiness,
How much you have increased!
Your innocent smiles, have made me a father anew.
