hansā kaaro purātan baat
kon des se aayā hansā utarnā kone ghaaT
kahāñ hansā bisrām kiyā hai kahāñ lagā.e aas
abhī hansā chet saberā chalo hamāre saath
sansai-sok vahāñ nahi vyāpe nahī kaal kai traas
hi.aañ madan-ban phuul rahe haiñ aave soham baas
man bhañvrā jahñ arujh rahe hai sukh kī nā abhīlās
Tell me, O Swan, your ancient tale.
From what land do you come, O Swan? to what shore will you fly?
Where would you take your rest, O Swan, and what do you seek?
Even this morning, O Swan, awake, arise, follow me!
There is a land where no doubt nor sorrow have rule: where the terror of Death is no more.
There the woods of spring are a-bloom, and the fragrant scent He is I is borne on the wind:
There the bee of the heart is deeply immersed, and desires no other joy.
hansa karo puraatan baat
kon des se aaya hansa utarna kone ghaT
kahan hansa bisram kiya hai kahan lagae aas
abhi hansa chet sabera chalo hamare sath
sansai-sok wahan nahi wyape nahi kal kai tras
hian madan-ban phul rahe hain aawe soham bas
man bhanwra jahn arujh rahe hai sukh ki na abhilas
