o maahi ve maahi ve maahi ve maahi ve maahi ve
maahi ve muhabbataa sachchiyaan ne
magadaa nasibaa kuchh hor hai
qismat de maare assi ki kari_e
qismat de maare o assi ki kari_e qismat te kisakaa zor hai
maahi ve maahi ve maahi ve maahi ve

ik taraf ishq hai tanhaa tanhaa
ik taraf husn hai rusavaa rusavaa
dono bebas hu_e hai kuchh aise
kare to kis se kare ham shikavaa
maahi ve maahi ve shikaayataa sachchiyaan ne
magadaa nasibaa kuchh hor hai
maahi ve muhabbataa

dil na tute khudaa kaa ye ghar hai
tere sajade me meraa ye sar hai
maut se dar nahi lagataa mujh ko
sirf tum se judaa_i kaa dar hai
maahi ve maahi ve ai mitaa sachchiyaan ne
par magadaa nasibaa kuchh hor hai
o maahi ve muhabbataa

Sweetness of syrup, oh sweetness of syrup,
Sweeter than honey, a taste of the fields,
Your words like gold, so precious and deep,
Sweetness of syrup, oh sweetness of syrup,
My love, oh my love, my love, oh my love.

The henna's stain, never to fade, my love,
I yearn for you, morning and night,
The henna's stain, never to fade, my love,
I yearn for you, morning and night,
My love, oh my love,
In every heartbeat, you reside, in my soul, my breath repeats your name,
My love, oh my love, my love, oh my love.

This bindi calls to you, every moment,
These bangles whisper, hold me and walk,
This bindi calls to you, every moment,
These bangles whisper, hold me and walk,
Our paths entwined, never to part, throughout all time,
You understand nothing, my journey is a trial sublime,
My love, oh my love, my love, oh my love.

In my beloved's arms, I will dissolve,
I swear, shattered, I will die,
Listen, my mad one, my home is here, my heart, my soul,
For this, now, I must live here, and die here in whole,
My mad one, oh my mad one, my mad one,
The henna's stain, never to fade, my love,
I yearn for you, morning and night,
My love, oh my love,
In every heartbeat, you reside, in my soul, my breath repeats your name,
My love, oh my love, my love, oh my love.
