ghatao me koi bhuli kahani yaad aati hain
naya mausam jab aata hain, purani yaad aati hain
jawani ise banaye na kahani hi sahi lekin
hame to wo balaye na bahne yaad aati hain

bada maja aaya ladai me
ki tut gayi chudi kalai me
bada maja aaya ladai me
ki tut gayi chudi kalai me
raat aadhi biti jagai me
ki tut gayi chudi kalai me

sharvat se mithe davai se kadave
sharvat se mithe davai se kadave
bhaye wahi hay man ko
bhaye wahi hay man ko
pa le jo meri to, tan man me apne
aise chhupaun sajan ko
aise chhupaun sajan ko
jaise, jaise pani surahi me
ki tut gayi chudi kalai me
bada maja aaya ladai me
ki tut gayi chudi kalai me

baho ke ghere chhama chham andhere
baho ke ghere chhama chham andhere
sangat ki raina nirali
o sangat ki raina nirali
thahre na bindiya na kajra na gajra
kho gayi chandi ki bali
ho kho gayi chandi ki bali
ha dhua dhua
dhua dhua mausam rajai me
ki tut gayi chudi kalai me
bada maja aaya ladai me
ki tut gayi chudi kalai me
raat aadhi biti jagai me

When storm clouds gather, a forgotten tale descends,
As each new season blooms, a past love transcends.
Youth may mold it, a story it might seem,
But oh, those heartaches, those excuses, gleam.

The fight, a joy, a vibrant, fierce embrace,
When bangles shattered, clinging to the wrist's space.
The fight, a joy, a vibrant, fierce embrace,
When bangles shattered, clinging to the wrist's space.
Midnight's vigil, wakeful in its trace,
When bangles shattered, clinging to the wrist's space.

Sweeter than sherbet, bitter as medicine's sting,
Sweeter than sherbet, bitter as medicine's sting,
That taste, ah, that taste, my heart does sing,
That taste, ah, that taste, my heart does sing,
If you were mine, within my soul to keep,
So close, so hidden, buried in the deep,
Like water hidden within a clay design,
When bangles shattered, clinging to the wrist's design.
Oh, the fight, a joy, a vibrant, fierce design,
When bangles shattered, clinging to the wrist's design.

Arms entwined, a shadow dance to start,
Arms entwined, a shadow dance to start,
In companionship, a night apart,
Oh, in companionship, a night apart,
Neither bindi, kohl, nor fragrant braid,
Remained, a silver earring, lost and swayed,
Oh, lost and swayed, a silver earring's plight,
A smoky fog, beneath the quilt of night,
When bangles shattered, clinging to the wrist's light.
Oh, the fight, a joy, a vibrant, fierce light,
When bangles shattered, clinging to the wrist's light.
Midnight's vigil, wakeful in the light.
