Phoolako Thunga - Meena Niraula

फूलको थुँगा बहेर गयो, गंगाको पानीमा
कहिले भेट होला हे, राजै यो जिन्दगानीमा

झरीको पछि झुल्केको घाममा नीर सर्‍यो पहाडको
भर्खरै प्रीती, बसेको बेला पीर पर्‍यो बिछोडको
कहिले भेट होला हे, राजै यो जिन्दगानीमा

नहाँसु भने सखीलाई पीर मै हाँसू कसरी
रोउला राती भनेर आँसु मै साँचु कसरी
कहिले भेट होला हे, राजै यो जिन्दगानीमा

रातमा मलाई, हेर्दछ टोलाई पूर्वको ताराले
त्यो कान्तिपुरमा, सपनाको सुरमा, सम्झ्यो कि प्याराले
कहिले भेट होला हे, राजै यो जिन्दगानीमा

Phoolko thunga bahera gayo, gangako paanima
Kahile bhet hola he, rajai yo jindaganima

Jhariko pachhi jhulkeko ghamma nir sar‍yo pahadko
Bharkharai priti, baseko bela pir par‍yo bichhodko
Kahile bhet hola he, rajai yo jindaganima

Nahansu bhane sakhilai pir mai hansu kasari
Roula rati bhanera aansu mai sanchu kasari
Kahile bhet hola he, rajai yo jindaganima

Raatma malai, herdachha tolai purwako tarale
Tyo kantipurma, sapanako surma, samjhyo ki pyarale
Kahile bhet hola he, rajai yo jindaganima

A flower floats away
In the waters down the Ganges
When will we ever meet again
Oh love in this lifetime

Sprinkled is the hue of the mountains blue
Upon the sun after a torrential rain
Just when the knots of love are tied
I am grieved by the painful parting
When will we ever meet again
Oh love in this lifetime

If I don't smile sadness engulfs
My beloved but how could I
How to hold back the tears
Until the night to cry
When will we ever meet again
Oh love in this lifetime

In the night it gazes at me the eastern star
Is it in a dream that my loving one
Far away in the glittering city
Remembers me forlorn
When will we ever meet again
Oh love in this lifetime
