mai hu solha baras ki mai hu satrah baras ki
mai hu athra baras ki o meri jaan
mujhe unnis laga mai hu bees ki raja
hui ikkees mai puri jawan
solha satrah athra unnis bees
aur ikkees ka jamela
solha satrah athra unnis bees
aur ikkees ka jamela meri umar gayi hai beet
ab na hogi kisi se preet
mera picha chhodo rehne do akela re akela

ye buddu bhola bhala yaar mera
umar pachpan ki dil hai bachpan ka
umar pachpan ki dil hai bachpan ka

mai hu solha baras ki mai hu satrah baras ki

solha satrah athra unnis bees
aur ikkis ka jamela
solha satrah athra unnis bees
aur ikkees ka jamela meri umar gayi hai beet
ab na hogi kisi se preet
mera picha chhodo rehne do akela re akela

ye buddu bhola bhala yaar mera
umar pachpan ki dil hai bachpan ka
umar pachpan kidil hai bachpan ka

I am the sixteen-year spring, seventeen's sway,
Eighteen's bloom, oh my dear, come what may.
Nineteen I felt, twenty's queen, I became,
Then twenty-one, a fire, a fully lit flame.
Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty,
And twenty-one's tempest, a fleeting spree.
Sixteen, seventeen, nineteen, twenty,
And twenty-one's shadow over me.
My years, they have faded, a whispered sigh,
Love's embrace now, I must deny.
Leave me be, let me be alone, let me fly.

This simple soul, my friend so true,
His years are fifty-five, his heart anew.
His years are fifty-five, his heart imbued.
