sab kuch hai aur
kuch bhi nahi hai
main hu kahi aur
dil ye kahi hai
oo roj roj banti
roj tut jaati hai
chandani mere ghar
tak aake laut jaati hai

dard ka mausam, soch ka aalam
besudh hai saanso ki sargam
aise me jiya ko koi kya samjhaye
sakhi re mohe birha satave
un bin kachhu na suhave
nis andhiyari kaari bijuri chamke
jiyara mora darr paave
ha koyaliya kuk sunave

itna sandesha mora unse kahiyo jaye
itna sandesha mora unse kahiyo jaye
un bin jiya mora nikso jaye
un bin jiya mora nikso jaye
umang jo man par mori al
mora saiyaa gharan aave
koyaliya kuk sunave

sakhi re mohe birha satave
un bin kachhu na suhave
nis andhiyari kaari bijuri chamke
jiyara mora darr
koyaliya kuk sunave
kuk sunave
ha koyaliya kuk sunave

All is here, yet
Nothing remains.
My being dwells elsewhere,
While the heart still strains.
O, each dawn it rises,
Each day it breaks.
Moonlight reaches my home,
Then shadows it forsakes.

A season of sorrow, a world of thought,
The breath's symphony, lost and caught.
In this state, how can I find ease?
Friend, separation's sting, it never flees.
Without them, nothing feels right,
Night descends, dark as the deepest night,
Lightning flashes, the soul takes fright.
Oh, the cuckoo sings its plaintive call.

Carry this message, let it be known,
Carry this message, let it be flown.
Without them, my life will depart,
Without them, my soul will restart.
When joy attempts to alight,
My love, he will come home with all his might.
The cuckoo sings its plaintive call.

Friend, separation's sting, it never flees.
Without them, nothing feels right,
Night descends, dark as the deepest night,
Lightning flashes, the soul takes fright.
The cuckoo sings its plaintive call.
Cooing its call.
Oh, the cuckoo sings its plaintive call.
