Kuhu kuhu bole koyaliya

"Kuhu kuhu bole koyaliya" is a golden oldie by Lata Mangeshkar and Mohd. Rafi. It is one of the few songs originally composed in Telugu and later used in a Hindi film. In Telugu, it is "Haayi haayiga amani saage," by Jikki and Ghantasala.

In any case, the online lyrics of this song seem to be just wrong.

This one, this one, and this one all quote the last stanza as

"saaras Raat Man Bhaaye Preeyatama, Kamal-Kamlini Mile
kiran Haar Damke, Jal Mein Chaand Chamke
man Saanand, Aanand Dole"

May be all of them are copies of an original mistake. So I have taken it upon myself to put up the right set of lyrics. "Saaras Raat" should be "saras raas" - romance of swans, and "kiran haar" should be "hiran haar" -- golden garland.

So the lyrics should be
"Saras raas man bhaaye preeyatama, kamal-kamlini mile
Hiran haar damke, jal mein chaand chamke
manasaanand, aanand dole"
