moti chugne gayi re hansi

likh di preet kisi ka likh di preet kisi ka

pyas bujhane aayi hansi jhalak raha pani

To gather pearls, the swan did glide,
To gather pearls, the swan did glide,
By the lake of mind, by the lake of mind,
On each wing of hers, a royal swan,
On each wing of hers, a royal swan,
Wrote of love, wrote of love divine.

Thirst she sought to quench, water shimmering bright,
Thirst she sought to quench, water shimmering bright,
Yet thirsty stayed her eyes,
Yet thirsty stayed her eyes,
Pierced by love’s own dart, pierced by love’s own dart,
To gather pearls, the swan did glide,
By the lake of mind, by the lake of mind.

A swan that thirsted through lives long past,
A swan that thirsted through lives long past,
How to hold her heart, how to hold her heart,
To gather pearls, the swan did glide,
To gather pearls, the swan did glide,
By the lake of mind, by the lake of mind.
