kale kale gahre saye kale kale gahre saye
ho jaye dur din wo aahe
suni suni baho me fir jhulega munna
chanda sa pyara dulara
aa ra ru ru ru aa ra ru ru ru
aa ra ru ru ru aa ra ru ru ru
kale kale gahre saye

mere ghar ki bhi chat par
hari bhari bel chade
mere ghar ki bhi chat par
hari bhari bel chade
hatho me mere bhi to chudi khanke

koi najariya bujh na jaye
koi najariya bujh na jaye
saiya mere yad rahe
lungi mai ek din haan re janam dobara
aa ra ru ru ru aa ra ru ru ru
aa ra ru ru ru aa ra ru ru ru

Shadows, dark and deep, they loom,
May those sighs now fade and bloom.
In empty arms, he'll sway and turn,
My darling moon, for whom I yearn.
A ra ru ru ru, a ra ru ru ru,
A ra ru ru ru, a ra ru ru ru,
Shadows, dark and deep, return.

Upon my home's own roof,
A verdant vine, a leafy proof,
Upon my home's own roof.
My wrists, too, with bangles chime,
A silver song against the time.

May no vision lose its light,
May no vision dim the night.
My love, in memory, I'll keep,
For I shall be reborn, in sleep,
A ra ru ru ru, a ra ru ru ru,
A ra ru ru ru, a ra ru ru ru.
