mai kaun sa git sunau, kya gau
jab piya bas jaye, tere tan mann me
khil jaye koyee kaliya, hay kaliya
bahar le aaye sunee bhagiya me

yeh kaise achanak bina koyee aahat
chale aaye ho thum mere jindagee me
tume aaj pakar mai sub kuchh bulakar
magan ho ke dubee huyee ho khushee me
ithne hee rang salone haye salone
ban gaye hai mere khalee sawan me
mai kaun sa git sunau, kya gau
jab piya bas jaye, tere tan mann me

kabhee tum sahara banoge hamara
mai ye bath kal tak nahin manthee thee
magar aaj kaise yeh lagtha hai jaise
mai har ek janam me tumhe janthee thee
lag tha hai saree duniya, saree duniya
chal gaye hai saj ke, jaise kanchan me
mai kaun sa git sunau, kya gau
jab piya bas jaye, tere tan mann me

What song can I sing, what melody weave,
That finds its home, within your heart's deep sleeve?
That wakes the slumbering buds, oh, the buds,
And brings the spring to barren, silent woods?

How did you come, with steps unheard, unseen,
Into my life, a vibrant, sudden sheen?
To find you now, forgetting all I knew,
Lost in a joy, a happiness so true.
Such colors bloom, resplendent, oh, so bright,
In my once empty, rainless, fading light.
What song can I sing, what melody weave,
That finds its home, within your heart's deep sleeve?

Could you be solace, a support for me?
I couldn't grasp such truth so readily.
But now it seems, a feeling takes its hold,
As if in every life, your face, I've known of old.
It feels the world, the whole world, has begun,
To dress itself in golden, radiant sun.
What song can I sing, what melody weave,
That finds its home, within your heart's deep sleeve?
