dil le gayi teri bindiya
haye dil le gayi teri bindiya
yaad aa gaya mujhko india
mein kahi bhi rahu is jahaan mein
mein kahi bhi rahu is jahaan mein
mera dil hai ihindustan mein

tu le gaya meri nindiya
haye tu le gaya meri nindiya
yaad aa gaya mujhko nindiya
bas ja mere jee jaan mein
bas ja mere jee jaan mein
mere ghar hai hindustan mein

Your bindi stole my heart away,
Oh, your bindi stole my heart today.
India's fields, they call to me,
No matter where my soul may be.
Across the world, my spirit flies,
My heart resides where India lies.

You stole my sleep, you took it all,
Oh, you stole my sleep beyond recall.
Sleep's sweet embrace, it fills my thought,
Come dwell within, where love is caught.
Within my life, forever stay,
My home, my heart, in India's sway.
