bat ye anokhi mere meet ho gayi
rat din dhadkana dil ki reet ho gayi
ho rama kahe re mohe preet ho gayi
ho rama kahe re mohe preet ho gayi
bat ye anokhi mere meet ho gayi
rat din dhadkana dil ki reet ho gayi
ho rama kahe re mohe preet ho gayi
ho rama kahe re mohe preet ho gayi

laaj ka pehra maine ho man ke dwar bithaya
laaj ka pehra maine ho man ke dwar bithaya
is ghunght me aise ho mukhda lakh cupaya
haye re marjani nindiya ho gayi chori
ho haar gayi mai saiya teri jeet ho gayi
ho rama kahe re mohe preet ho gayi
bat ye anokhi mere meet ho gayi
rat din dhadkana dil ki reet ho gayi
ho rama kahe re mohe preet ho gayi

teri najariya sajna ho mere sapno ki doli
teri najariya sajna ho mere sapno ki doli
baith mai isme chal di tere sang hamjoli
roke jag na manu karan mai na janu
ho log kahte hai mohe preet ho gayi
ho rama kahe re mohe preet ho gayi
bat ye anokhi mere meet ho gayi
rat din dhadkana dil ki reet ho gayi
ho rama kahe re mohe preet ho gayi
ho rama kahe re mohe kahe re mohe preet ho gayi

A strange tale, my friend, has come to be,
My heart's rhythm, a constant decree.
Oh Rama, why has love captured me?
Oh Rama, why has love captured me?
A strange tale, my friend, has come to be,
My heart's rhythm, a constant decree.
Oh Rama, why has love captured me?
Oh Rama, why has love captured me?

Modesty's watch, I set at my soul's gate,
Modesty's watch, I set at my soul's gate,
Behind this veil, a face, I did await.
Alas, sleep, it fled, a thief's decree,
I lost the game, my love, your victory.
Oh Rama, why has love captured me?
A strange tale, my friend, has come to be,
My heart's rhythm, a constant decree.
Oh Rama, why has love captured me?

Your gaze, beloved, my dream's palanquin,
Your gaze, beloved, my dream's palanquin,
Within it I ride, with you, my kin.
The world may scorn, I care not why,
They say love's held me, 'neath the sky.
Oh Rama, why has love captured me?
A strange tale, my friend, has come to be,
My heart's rhythm, a constant decree.
Oh Rama, why has love captured me?
Oh Rama, why has love, why has love, captured me?
