pipal ki chhanv me
pipal ki chhanv me
thandi thandi hawao me
pipal ki chhanv me
thandi thandi hawao me

mai to chhup chhup jaungi
hath naa aaungi matwale
mai to chhup chhup jaungi
hath naa aaungi matwale

dhundh hi lenge dhundhane wale
dhundh hi lenge dhundhane wale
pipal ki chhanv me
pipal ki chhanv me

mai kaali badriya ki odhani lungi
aur dur gagan me ja ke
koi khabar nahi dungi
mai kaali badriya ki odhani lungi
aur dur gagan me ja ke
koi khabar nahi dungi

tum khoj me jaoge
tumhe darayenge badarwa kale
dhundh hi lenge dhundhane wale
dhundh hi lenge dhundhane wale
pipal ki chhanv me
pipal ki chhanv me

mai to pihe ki pihu pihu
me kho jaungi
bulbul ki sada me gum ho jaungi
re gum ho jaungi

tum khoj me jaoge
khoj naa paoge o matawale
dhundh hi lenge dhundhane wale
dhundh hi lenge dhundhane wale
pipal ki chhanv me
pipal ki chhanv me
thandi thandi hawao me

Beneath the peepal's shade,
beneath the peepal's shade,
in breezes cool and deep,
beneath the peepal's shade,
in breezes cool and deep.

I'll vanish, hide away,
a phantom you can't seize,
I'll vanish, hide away,
a phantom you can't seize.

Yet searchers will find me,
searchers will find me,
beneath the peepal's shade,
beneath the peepal's shade.

I'll cloak myself in clouds of night,
and drift to skies unknown,
no tidings will I write,
I'll cloak myself in clouds of night,
and drift to skies unknown,
no tidings will be shown.

You'll set forth on the quest,
dark tempests will assail,
yet searchers will find me,
searchers will find me,
beneath the peepal's shade,
beneath the peepal's shade.

I'll become the *pihu* song,
the notes of a hidden bird,
lost within the thrush's throng,
lost, forever unheard.

You'll search, but never find,
oh, you who are possessed,
yet searchers will find me,
searchers will find me,
beneath the peepal's shade,
beneath the peepal's shade,
in breezes cool and deep.
