aye hawa kuch to bata jane walo ka pata
aye hawa kuch to bata jane walo ka pata
kali ghatao tum chhuke pahado ko
laut aana ha tum laut aana
jungle se jati pagdandio pe
jungle se jati pagdandio pe

dekho to shayad paw pade ho
kohre ki rughiya thandi gufa me
badal pahan ke shayad khade ho
haule se kano me mera kaha kahna
laut aana ha tum laut aana
bujhne laga hai jhilo ka pani
bujhne laga hai jhilo ka pani
ghulne laga hai sham ka suna

kaha se thamu rat ki chadar
kaha se paku dhup ka kona
jayiyo par sunke mera kaha kahna
laut aana ha tum laut aana
aye hawa kuch to bata jane walo ka pata
kali ghatao tum chhuke pahado ko
laut aana ha tum laut aana

O wind, O wind, whisper, if you know,
the trace of those who went, where do they go?
O wind, if you know, whisper where they tread.

Dark clouds, you that caress the mountain's brow,
return, oh, return, as you vowed somehow.
On paths that weave through forests old and deep,
on paths that wind where ancient shadows sleep.

Look close, perhaps their footprints still remain,
in fog's white, milky, icy, echoing plain.
Perhaps they stand, enrobed in shifting grey,
and softly, to their ears, my words convey:
Return, oh, return, as you promised to stay.

The lake's clear waters start to fade and wane,
the evening's gold begins to melt and drain.
The lake's clear waters start to fade and wane.

Where shall I grasp the night's embracing cloak?
Where shall I hold the sun's departing spoke?
Go near them, say my words, and you may find,
Return, oh, return, the echoes left behind.

O wind, O wind, whisper, if you know,
the trace of those who went, where do they go?
Dark clouds, you that caress the mountain's brow,
return, oh, return, as you vowed somehow.
