baba ki rani hoon aankhon ka pani hoon
baba ki rani hoon aankhon ka pani hoon
beh jaana hai jise do pal kahani hoon
amma ki bitiya hoon aangan ki mitiya hoon
amma ki bitiya hoon aangan ki mitiya hoon
took took nihare jo pardesi chithiya hoon

mamta ke aanchal mein
jo geet gaaye hai
babul ne chut-put jo
sapne sajaye hai
wo yaad aayenge
gup chup rulayenge
wo yaad aayenge
gup chup rulayenge
doli ke sang mere jab saath jaayenge
baba ki rani hoon aankhon ka pani hoon
beh jaana hai jise do pal kahani hoon

khil khil ke hasna ye
sakhiyon ki baaton pe
anjaane naamo ki
mehndi ye haathon pe
jab rang layegi
rimjhim ghir aayegi
jab rang layegi
rimjhim ghir aayegi
aankhen ghataon si boonde girayengi

baba ki rani hoon aankhon ka pani hoon
baba ki rani hoon aankhon ka pani hoon
beh jaana hai jise do pal kahani hoon
amma ki bitiya hoon aangan ki mitiya hoon
amma ki bitiya hoon aangan ki mitiya hoon
took took nihare jo pardesi chithiya hoon
pardesi chithiya hoon
pardesi chithiya hoon

I am the king's queen, a tear in his eye,
His queen, a tear, destined to pass by.
A fleeting tale, a moment to be.
Mother's daughter, dust of the yard, I,
Mother's daughter, dust, under sky.
Watched by the stranger's letters, shy.

In a mother's embrace,
Where songs were sung,
And father's small dreams,
So carefully strung.
Those memories will rise,
Silently they'll tease,
Those memories will rise,
Silently they'll tease,
As they walk with my palanquin, on the breeze.
I am the king's queen, a tear in his eye,
His queen, a tear, destined to pass by.

Laughing and blooming,
With my friends' sweet talk,
On unknown names,
The henna will walk.
When color will bloom,
A drizzle will loom,
When color will bloom,
A drizzle will loom,
My eyes, like clouds, will shed gloom.

I am the king's queen, a tear in his eye,
His queen, a tear, destined to pass by.
I am the king's queen, a tear in his eye,
His queen, a tear, destined to pass by.
Mother's daughter, dust of the yard, I,
Mother's daughter, dust, under sky.
Watched by the stranger's letters, shy.
Stranger's letters, shy.
Stranger's letters, shy.
