kaun kisi ko, baandh sakaa,
HAS ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO CONFINE SOMEONE (FOR EVER)?
haa.n, kaun kisi ko, baandh sakaa,
YES! HAS ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO CONFINE SOMEONE (FOR EVER)?
sayyaad toh ik deewaanaa hai,

BREAKING THE CAGE SOME DAY OR THE OTHER,

THE BIRD IS BOUND TO FLY AWAY!
ang.Daayee le kar ke jaagee hai naujawaanee,
SHAKING OFF THE SLUGGISHNESS, THE YOUTH HAS WOKEN UP,
ang.Daayee le kar ke jaagee hai naujawaanee,

BREAKING THE CAGE SOME DAY OR THE OTHER,
panchhee ko u.D jaanaa hai...
THE BIRD IS BOUND TO FLY AWAY!
