aalaap
saavan bite aas me, bite ka_i basat
o~o patharaaye pyaase nayan pal pal herat path

palakan ki paalaki, aansu sanvaarataa
bachapan ke saathi tujhako bachapan pukaarataa
meraa bachapan pukaarataa

tuti praano ki dori -2
chadaa se dur chakori
saavan aur bhaado banake
barase do akhiyaan mori
tute taaro ko manavaa pal pal jhakaarataa
bachapan ke saathi tujhako bachapan pukaarataa
meraa bachapan pukaarataa

jalati jivan ki nishaani -2
dhalati hai saanjh suhaani
jal jal ke hi palati hai
birahan ki prit puraani
chhup chhup jab chaandani ko chadaa dulaarataa
bachapan ke saathi tujhako bachapan pukaarataa
meraa bachapan pukaarataa

palakan ki paalaki, aansu sanvaarataa
bachapan ke saathi tujhako bachapan pukaarataa
meraa bachapan pukaarataa

meraa bachapan pukaarataa
meraa bachapan pukaarataa

The monsoon passed in hope, many springs have flown,
Oh, my thirsty eyes, now stone, watch the path alone.
A palanquin of lids, where tears reside,
Childhood's friend, your childhood calls inside.
My childhood calls, the thread of life now frayed,
The moon-bird lost, from moonbeams, now betrayed.
Sawan and Bhado, my twin eyes cascade,
The broken stars, my heart, a constant serenade.
Childhood's friend, your childhood calls inside,
My childhood calls.

Burning embers of life, the fading day,
Burning life's embers, as sweet evenings decay,
Burning, growing, an old love's display.
When the moon's light, the moon does embrace,
Childhood's friend, your childhood calls this place.
My childhood calls.
A palanquin of lids, where tears reside,
Childhood's friend, your childhood calls inside,
My childhood calls.
My childhood calls, my childhood calls.
