sooni si kalaai me itraane laga sona kangna
lee jo angdaai gungunane laga mora angna
hey sooni si kalaai me itraane laga sona kangna
ho lee jo angdaai gungunane laga mora angna

meri khooshbu se khile kaliya
chaand dhoonde bas mori galiya
khanak khanak ke chhanak chhanak ke
chhanak chhanak ke khanak khanak ke

bol rahe hain paijaniya ke bol
ki dholi taaro dhol dh dh dhol
dh dh dhol dh dh dhol dh dh dhol

dhol baaje dhol ke dham dham baaje baaje
ke dholi taaro dhol baaje, dhol baaje
dhol baaje dhol ke dham dham dham baaje dhole

kaari kaari ankhiyo me kajra lagaya hai
kaare kaare baalo me gajra sajaya hai
kaari kaari ankhiyo me kajra lagaya hai
ho kaare kaare baalo me gajra sajaya

bole maathe ki ye mori bindiya
maine khud hi chura li nindiya
khanak khanak ke chhanak chhanak ke
chhanak chhanak ke khanak khanak ke

bol rahe hain paijaniya ke bol
ki dholi taaro dhol dh dh dhol
dh dh dhol dh dh dhol dh dh dhol

ke dholi taaro dhol baaje, dhol baaje
dhol baaje dhol ke dham dham baaje baaje
ke dholi taaro dhol baaje, dhol baaje
dhol baaje dhol ke dham dham dham baaje dhole

mera jaisa koi nahi laakho hazaaro me

khanak khanak ke chhanak chhanak ke
chhanak chhanak ke khanak khanak ke

bol rahe hain paijaniya ke bol

Upon a wrist, a golden bangle gleams,
In empty space, it boasts of dreams.
A stretch, a sigh, the courtyard sings,
As joy within its echoes rings.
My fragrance blooms in every bud,
The moon now seeks my neighborhood.
Clink, clink, a rhythmic chime,
Jingle, jingle, marking time.
The anklets speak a whispered grace,
"Dholi Taro, beat the drum's embrace!"
*Drum beats*
"Dholi Taro, let the drums resound,
Drums are playing, with a vibrant sound!"
"Dholi Taro, let the drums resound,
Drums are playing, with a rhythmic bound!"

In darkened eyes, kohl finds its place,
Dark tresses crowned with floral grace.
In darkened eyes, kohl finds its place,
Dark tresses crowned with floral grace.
My forehead's jewel, a whispered plea,
I stole my slumber, wild and free.
Clink, clink, a rhythmic chime,
Jingle, jingle, marking time.
The anklets speak a whispered grace,
"Dholi Taro, beat the drum's embrace!"
*Drum beats*
"Dholi Taro, let the drums resound,
Drums are playing, with a vibrant sound!"
"Dholi Taro, let the drums resound,
Drums are playing, with a rhythmic bound!"

My praises whispered among the stars,
None like me, beyond all bars.
My praises whispered among the stars,
None like me, beyond all bars.
My earrings kiss each cheek so fair,
My dancing steps ensnare and snare.
Clink, clink, a rhythmic chime,
Jingle, jingle, marking time.
The anklets speak a whispered grace,
"Dholi Taro, beat the drum's embrace!"
*Drum beats*
"Dholi Taro, let the drums resound,
Drums are playing, with a vibrant sound!"
"Dholi Taro, let the drums resound,
Drums are playing, with a rhythmic bound!"

"Dholi Taro, let the drums resound,
Drums are playing, with a rhythmic bound!"
*Drum beats*
"Drum beats"
