pinjre ke hai panchhi re tera dard na jane koy
tera dard na jane koy
bahar se to khamosh rahe tu
bahar se to khamosh rahe tu
bhitar bhitar roy bhitar bhitar roy
tera dard na jane koy

keh na sake tu apni kahani
teri bhi pachhi kya jindgani re
keh na sake tu apni kahani
teri bhi pachhi kya jindgani re
vidhi ne teri katha likhi aasu me kalam duboy
tera dard na jane koy tera dard na jane koy

chupke chupke rone wale rakhna chhipake dil ke chhale re
chupke chupke rone wale rakhna chhipake dil ke chhale re
ye patthar ka desh hai pagle koi na tera hoy
tera dard na jane koy
pinjre ke hai panchhi re tera dard na jane koy
tera dard na jane koy pinjre ke hai panchhi re

Caged bird, your sorrow, none perceive,
None perceive.
Silent you appear to the world's eye,
Silent you appear,
Yet within, you weep, within you weep,
Your sorrow, none perceive.

Unable to tell your tale,
O bird, what life is this you bear?
Unable to tell your tale,
O bird, what life is this you bear?
Fate has penned your story, dipped pen in tear,
Your sorrow, none perceive, your sorrow, none perceive.

You who weep in secret, hide the wounds within,
You who weep in secret, hide the wounds within,
This land is made of stone, fool, none are truly yours,
Your sorrow, none perceive,
Caged bird, your sorrow, none perceive,
Your sorrow, none perceive, caged bird.
