kahe ko mora bichua baje re
aankho me bairi kajra saje re
batao aye hawao aye ghatao bolo na
kahe ko mora bichua baje re
aankho me bairi kajra saje re

bol ri koyaliya bol de re kaga
bol ri koyaliya bol de re kaga
kaisa ye prem jaga kaun rog laga
bindiya bhi chup chup jhumka bhi chup
bindiya bhi chup chup jhumka bhi chup
jawani me ye kaisi pareshani dekho na
kahe ko mora bichua baje re
aankho me bairi kajra saje re

aane lage palko me mithe mithe sapne
aane lage palko me mithe mithe sapne
kabhi to begane aaye kabhi aaye apne
dole mora ang ang badla hai rang
dole mora ang ang badla hai rang
hai kaisi ye lagan ye agan kaho na
kahe ko mora bichua baje re
aankho me bairi kajra saje re
batao aye hawao aye ghatao bolo na
kahe ko mora bichua baje re
aankho me bairi kajra saje re

Why does my ankle bracelet chime,
While kohl, an enemy, lines my eyes?
Tell me, winds and gathering clouds, speak,
Why does my ankle bracelet chime?
While kohl, an enemy, lines my eyes.

Speak, o cuckoo, and crow, tell,
Speak, o cuckoo, and crow, tell,
What love has awakened, what ailment fell?
My forehead jewel silent, earrings hushed,
My forehead jewel silent, earrings hushed,
What anguish has seized my youth, see?
Why does my ankle bracelet chime,
While kohl, an enemy, lines my eyes?

Sweet dreams now bloom on my lashes,
Sweet dreams now bloom on my lashes,
Strangers come, then loved ones' dashes.
My limbs all tremble, my hue has changed,
My limbs all tremble, my hue has changed,
What longing, what fire, tell me, now.
Why does my ankle bracelet chime,
While kohl, an enemy, lines my eyes?
Tell me, winds and gathering clouds, speak,
Why does my ankle bracelet chime,
While kohl, an enemy, lines my eyes?
