Ajeeb dastan hai yeh

[a-dji-ba] [das-a-tan] [hE-jE]

What a strange story this is

Kahan shuru kahan khatam

[ka-ha] [TSu-Ru] [ka-ha] [ka-tummm] “um” “thumb”

Yeh manzilein hai kaun si

[je] [mun-dzə-lE] [hE] [konə-si]

“un”

What destinations are these

Na woh samajh sake na hum

[na-wɔj] [sa-madgjə] [sa-kE] [na-hum]

He does not understand it, nor I.
