kaahe bich bajariya
kaahe bich bajariya, khinchi chunariya
gali gali huyi badnam
sanwariya main to huyi badnam
sanwariya main to huyi badnam
kaahe bich bajariya, khinchi chunariya
gali gali huyi badnam
sanwariya main to huyi badnam
sanwariya main to huyi badnam

main to pahli pahli baar, ae ji karke singar
nikli thi payal baja ke
main to pahli pahli baar, ae ji karke singar
nikli thi payal baja ke
wo thi kaisi ghadi, aankh tujhse ladi
wo thi kaisi ghadi, aankh tujhse ladi
wahi khade khade ho gayi sham
sanwariya main to huyi badnam
sanwariya main to huyi badnam

kiya kitna hi shor, chala phir bhi na jor
deke duhai main na haari
aankh meri jhuki, dil ki dhadkan ruki
aankh meri jhuki, dil ki dhadkan ruki
main to rah gayi karejwa tham
sanwariya main to huyi badnam
sanwariya main to huyi badnam
kaahe bich bajariya khinchi chunariya
gali gali huyi badnam
sanwariya main to huyi badnam
sanwariya main to huyi badnam

Where the market sprawls,
my veil is torn, a silken cry.
Down every lane, my name, a whispered shame,
O Dark One, by your love, I'm known in blame.
O Dark One, by your love, I'm known in shame.

For the first time, adorned and bright,
I stepped forth, anklets chiming light.
For the first time, adorned and bright,
I stepped forth, anklets chiming light.
That moment spun, when eyes first met,
that moment spun, when eyes first met,
and daylight changed to fading flame.
O Dark One, by your love, I'm known in blame.
O Dark One, by your love, I'm known in shame.

Though clamor rose, my strength dissolved,
though I called out, my heart involved.
My gaze then bowed, my spirit stilled,
My gaze then bowed, my spirit stilled,
I stayed, my heart within my frame.
O Dark One, by your love, I'm known in blame.
O Dark One, by your love, I'm known in shame.
Where the market sprawls,
my veil is torn, a silken cry.
Down every lane, my name, a whispered shame,
O Dark One, by your love, I'm known in blame.
O Dark One, by your love, I'm known in shame.
