re panchhi samay ko pehchan le na tu
re panchhi samay ko pehchan le na tu
re panchhi
hansaye to hans lena hansaye to hans lena
rulaye to ro lena rulaye to ro lena
sukh dukh ko ek sar maan le na tu
sukh dukh ko ek sar maan le na tu
re panchhi


tera to hai dur thikana harda tujhko udte jana
tera to hai dur thikana hardam tujhko udte jana
mile kahi jo thaw mujhe to mile kahi to thaw muhe to
palbhar ko apna ghar maan le na tu
palbhar ko apna ghar maan le na tu
re panchhi samay ko pehchan le na tu
re panchhi samay ko pehchan le na tu
re panchhi

O bird, recognize the time, heed it now,
O bird.

If laughter comes, then laugh, let joy unfurl,
If tears descend, then weep, let grief take hold.
Embrace the sweet, the bitter, as one whole,
Embrace the sweet, the bitter, as one whole,
O bird.

Your dwelling lies beyond, a distant shore,
Forever bound to soar, to take the flight.
If rest you find, a haven in the light,
If rest you find, a haven in the light,
Embrace it, call it home for just a while,
Embrace it, call it home for just a while,
O bird, recognize the time, heed it now,
O bird, recognize the time, heed it now,
O bird.
