panchi ud gaya
panchi ud gaya preet laga ke
panchi ud gaya sapno ki
sapno ki sukh kaliya se
bairi peed badhake sapno ki
sapno ki sukh kaliya se
bairi peed badhake panchi ud gaya

man ka pinjra chori chori
bandh ke rakhi prem ki dori
man ka pinjra chori chori
bandh ke rakhi prem ki dori
chhod gaya chhod gaya
haye mujhe dard bhara geet sunake
chhod gaya chhod gaya
haye mujhe dard bhara geet sunake
panchi ud gaya

shyam rang uska manwa
radhe radhe bol sikhaya
par bedardi raha na apna
apna hokar hua paraya
tod gaya wo prem ki dori
chhod gaya wo nagri mori
tod gaya wo prem ki dori
chhod gaya wo nagri mori
haye chhaliya haye chhaliya
mujhse muh mod gaya preet lagake
haye chhaliya haye chaliya
mujhse muh mod gaya preet lagake
panchi ud gaya
panchi ud gaya preet laga ke
panchi ud gaya

The bird took flight,
Having loved and flown.
The bird took flight, to dreams
Where withered blooms are sown.
My foe, he sowed grief in dreams,
Where withered blooms are sown.
My foe, he sowed grief, and the bird took flight.

My heart's cage, he stole away,
Tied with love's silken stay.
My heart's cage, he stole away,
Tied with love's silken stay.
He left, he left,
And sang a song of pain to me.
He left, he left,
And sang a song of pain to me.
The bird took flight.

His heart, the hue of night,
Taught my soul to sing Radha's name.
But cruel, he was not mine,
Though mine, he played a stranger's game.
He severed love's tender twine,
And left my city behind.
He severed love's tender twine,
And left my city behind.
Oh, deceiver, oh, deceiver,
He turned his face, having loved, from me.
Oh, deceiver, oh, deceiver,
He turned his face, having loved, from me.
The bird took flight,
The bird took flight, having loved.
The bird took flight.
