sun ri saheli bachpan se sang kheli
ek anbujhi paheli mere sath ho gayi
main alveli bagiya mein thi akeli
phoolo ki ranrehi mein hi raat ho gayi
sun ri saheli bachpan se sang kheli
ek anbujhi paheli mere sath ho gayi

julmi ne roka mohe bagiya mein toka
hay dil kho gaya re kaisi baat ho gayi
bhavara khiladi tha vo bada hi anadi
meri modi jo kalai mulakat ho gayi
sun ri saheli bachpan se sang kheli
ek anbujhi paheli mere sath ho gayi

vo tha akela lakho mein alvela
dekha usko to uske main sath ho gayi
julmi ne toka hay bagiya mein roka
aankho aankho mein hi dil vali baat ho gayi
sun ri saheli bachpan se sang kheli
ek anbujhi paheli mere sath ho gayi
main alveli bagiya mein thi akeli
phoolo ki ranrehi mein hi raat ho gayi

Listen, dear friend, since childhood we've played,
A riddle unspoken, now my constant shade.
I, a free spirit, in the garden did roam,
Lost in the colours of flowers, night had become home.
Listen, dear friend, since childhood we've played,
A riddle unspoken, now my constant shade.

The tyrant appeared, in the garden he drew near,
Alas, my heart wandered, what had I to fear?
The playful bee, so clumsy and bold,
He touched my wrist, a story to be told.
Listen, dear friend, since childhood we've played,
A riddle unspoken, now my constant shade.

He stood alone, in a multitude, so rare,
When I saw him, his presence I did share.
The tyrant returned, in the garden he did call,
In eyes met eyes, the heart's secrets did fall.
Listen, dear friend, since childhood we've played,
A riddle unspoken, now my constant shade.
I, a free spirit, in the garden did roam,
Lost in the colours of flowers, night had become home.
