o meri maina tu man le mera kahna
are muskil ho gaya rahna tere bina
o meri maina tu man le mera kahna
are muskil ho gaya rahna tere bina
bina bina o mere mittu teri mitti boli
mai sunakar teri ho li jalima

dil mera kahe ki banke kabutar
khidaki me teri karu gutar gu
dhana khilaye jo tu mujhe
to mai pyare pyare hatho ko baar baar chumu
dil mera kahe ki banke kabutar
khidaki me teri karu gutar gu
dhana khilaye jo tu mujhe
to mai pyare pyare hatho ko baar baar chumu
o mere kabutar mai bharkar layi jholi
par chonch na tune kholi jalima

hoti mombatti to khidaki me teri
sari sari raat mai karti ujhala
magar jalne ka vo ho
jo pyar me hans hans ke mitne wala
hoti mombatti to khidaki me teri
sari sari raat mai karti ujhala
maza jalne ka jane jo
ho pyar me hans hans ke mitne wala
o meri mohmbatti bana le mujhe batti
mai ho gaya masharatti tere bina

My mynah, heed my plea,
To live without you is misery.
My mynah, heed my plea,
To live without you is misery.
Without, without, my sweet parrot, your sweet song,
I listen, and I'm consumed, cruel one.

My heart says, as a dove, I'll be,
At your window, cooing free.
If you feed me grain so fine,
Then your sweet hands I'll kiss divine.
My heart says, as a dove, I'll be,
At your window, cooing free.
If you feed me grain so fine,
Then your sweet hands I'll kiss divine.
Oh my dove, I brought a full store,
But you opened your beak no more, cruel one.

If I were a candle, by your window bright,
I would illuminate the whole long night.
The joy of burning, only love can know,
In love, to laugh and melt below.
If I were a candle, by your window bright,
I would illuminate the whole long night.
The joy of burning, only love can know,
In love, to laugh and melt below.
Oh, turn me candle, your light to be,
Without you, I'm lost, you see.
