laali dil se maine chura li, hatho ko rang liya
laali munh se aisi laga li, hontho ko rang liya
ye laal rang rang raha hai chahto ko, mangta hai pyar ye
laali aansuo se chura li, aankho ko rang liya
laali dil se aisi laga li, laakho ko rang liya
ye laal rang rang raha hai nafrato ko, maarta hai yaar ye

chale bhi, daude bhi, bahe bhi nas me ye
jale bhi, tape bhi, rahe na bas me ye
ye laal rang jawan kar gaya
tadke bhadke tapke nas nas me ye
tadpe dhadke rahe na bas me ye
ye laal rang tabah kar gaya

laali dardo se maine bini, zakhmo ko bhar liya
laali gairo se maine chhini, apno ko rang liya
ye laal rang rang raha hai pidhiyo ko
ye pal raha hai khun me

chale bhi, daude bhi, bahe bhi nas me ye
jale bhi, tape bhi, rahe na bas me ye
ye laal rang jawan kar gaya
tadke bhadke tapke nas nas me ye
tadpe dhadke rahe na bas me ye
ye laal rang tabah kar gaya

From the heart's core, I stole the crimson, stained my hands with it,
From the mouth's embrace, I drew the blush, painted my lips with it.
This scarlet hue now colors desire, demanding love's sweet art,
From tears I seized the rouge, adorned my eyes with the crimson start.
From the heart's depths, I caught the flush, tinged a thousand with its grace,
This red shade colors hatred’s grip, a friend that brings death's embrace.

It flows, it races, it surges in the veins,
It burns, it flares, its fury never wanes.
This crimson shade rejuvenates,
In morning's fire, it boils in every vein,
It throbs, it pounds, its power knows no chain,
This scarlet hue destroys and slates.

From pains I wove the crimson, healed the wounds so deep,
From enemies, I snatched the dye, and colored those I keep.
This scarlet hue now colors generations,
It blooms and grows within the blood's keep.

It flows, it races, it surges in the veins,
It burns, it flares, its fury never wanes.
This crimson shade rejuvenates,
In morning's fire, it boils in every vein,
It throbs, it pounds, its power knows no chain,
This scarlet hue destroys and slates.
