mandir ki murati si baithi
oo ho mandir ki murti si baithi
hile na dole kuch bhi na bole
oo ho hum dil deke fas gaye
mandir ki murti si baithi

kya use bhaye kya na bhaye
hum to kuch bhi samjh nahi paye
ho kitne jatan kiye hasne hasane ke
usko manane ke pas bulane ke
hum hai pinjare me jaise panchhi
oo ho hum hai pinjare me jaise panchhi
chahke na gaye yaha jabse aaye
oo ho udne ko taras gaye
hum hai pinjare me jaise panchhi

bahati hui ho nadiya ki dhara
ganv ko le ja sandesha hamara
mahaki hawa jane kidar se aayi hai
kaun se phulo ki khusabu churayi hai
chanchal hawa hai tere jaisi oo
ho chanchal hawa hai tere jaisi
rokati na roke ye hawa ke jhoke
teri khushbu me bas gaye hawa hai tere jaisi

jate huye jo in naino ko bhaye
dekho lage hai darane unhi baham ke saye
darne ki kya bat hai gori
le tu tham le bahiya mori
man ki bato ko bin kahe jane re
mit wahi hai jo man pahchane re
mai hu tera tu hai meri oo ho
mai hu tera tu hai meri bolo na bolo
hum bhi nahi bole ek bandhan me kas gaye
mai hu tera tu hai meri mai hu tera tu hai meri

Still she sits, a temple’s silent form,
O, temple’s silent form,
Unmoved, unyielding, words unborn,
O, heart betrayed, now bound,
Still she sits, a temple’s silent form.

What pleases her, what she despises,
We cannot grasp, our insight lies
Beyond the reach of our desire,
Efforts of laughter, to set aflame,
To coax, to call her near,
We are like caged birds now,
O, we are like caged birds,
We yearn to depart, we arrived unbidden,
O, longing for flight,
We are like caged birds now.

Flowing like a river's gentle stream,
Carry our message to the distant dream,
The scented breeze, from whence it came,
What flowers’ fragrance did it claim?
Restless wind, so much like you,
O, restless wind, so much like you,
It does not cease, these gusts do not stay,
In your perfume, they are consumed, so like you.

As these moments now start to fade,
See, shadows of doubt begin to pervade,
What fear is there, my radiant one?
Take hold of my arm, before the sun is done,
The heart's unspoken, easily known,
The true companion, the mind has shown,
I am yours, and you are mine, O,
I am yours, and you are mine, speak now, speak now,
We speak no word, in a bond we're entwined,
I am yours, and you are mine, I am yours, and you are mine.
