jo main kahu ghunghru se tum wahi bol bolo
bolo, wahi bol bolo
wahi ang naacho jo main gaaun
wahi ang naacho jo main gaaun
lay sang dolo
jo main kahu ghunghru se tum wahi bol bolo
bolo, wahi bol bolo

main rup si main nartaki jaise chaho tolo
kahte hai ghunghru kabhi humko
kahte hai ghunghru kabhi humko
pag se na kholo
main rup si main nartaki jaise chaho tolo
tolo, jaise chaho tolo

tyaag ke apne sare sapne tumhra ji bahlane aayi
tyaag ke apne sare sapne tumhra ji bahlane aayi
bachpan me hi ho gayi meri, lalit kala ke sang sagai
tum pyase pyase prano me
tum pyase pyase prano me amrit sa gholo
jo main kahu ghunghru se tum wahi bol bolo
tolo, jaise chaho tolo

wahi wahi wahi bol bolo
tolo, tolo
main rup si main nartaki jaise chaho tolo

sawan aayo he sakhi
tan man gayo bhigoye
o damani damke dar lage
sajni ab ka hoye
nahi aaye ghanshyam ghir aayi badri
nahi aaye ghanshyam ghir aayi badri
ghir aayi badri kaisi chhai badri
purab ki virehni gaave kajri
nahi aaye ghanshyam ghir aayi badri

pardeshi pee ki yaado se
pardeshi pee ki yaado se
tan man bhigo lo
jo main kahu ghunghru se tum wahi bol bolo
bolo, wahi bol bolo
kahte hai ghunghru kabhi humko
kahte hai ghunghru kabhi humko
pag se na kholo
main rup si main nartaki jaise chaho tolo
tolo, jaise chaho tolo

Speak the rhythm of my bells,
Speak it, echo it, tell.
Dance the limbs I sing to,
Dance the limbs I sing to,
Sway in time, excel.
Speak the rhythm of my bells,
Speak it, echo it, tell.

I am form, a dancer true, measure as you will,
The bells say this of us,
The bells say this of us,
Do not unbind with will.
I am form, a dancer true, measure as you will,
Will, measure as you will.

I've shed my dreams for you,
I've shed my dreams for you,
To bring delight, anew.
Betrothed in childhood's dawn,
Betrothed to art's true hue.
Into your thirsty soul,
Into your thirsty soul,
Pour nectar, whole.
Speak the rhythm of my bells,
Will, measure as you will,
Echo, echo, echo, tell.
Will, will.
I am form, a dancer true, measure as you will.

The monsoon comes, O friend,
Drenching body and mind,
Lightning flashes, fear descends,
My love, what fate do we find?
My dark lord has not come, the clouds gather,
My dark lord has not come, the clouds gather,
Clouds gather, how the clouds gather,
The eastern lover sings her karkari,
My dark lord has not come, the clouds gather.

From the thoughts of my absent love,
From the thoughts of my absent love,
Soak body and mind, above.
Speak the rhythm of my bells,
Speak it, echo it, tell.
The bells say this of us,
The bells say this of us,
Do not unbind with will.
I am form, a dancer true, measure as you will,
Will, measure as you will.
