malmal me badan mora chamke
jobanwa damke sajanwa kaise chupau haye haye
kaise chupau gori bahe
ye tirchi nigahe jawani ki adaye
malmal me malmal me badan mora chamke
jobanwa damke sajanwa kaise chupau haye haye

resham ki maine choli mangai
resham ki maine choli mangai
do pal tan par bhi tikne na payi
ho tut gayi dori jo li angdayi
tut gayi dori jo li angdayi
hui aisi halchal hui aisi halchal
mangani padi malmal
malmal me malmal me badan mora chamke
jobanwa damke sajanwa kaise chupau haye haye

hoke jawan maine bada dukh paya
hoke jawan maine bada dukh paya
dekhe buri aankh se apna paraya
kaahe ye jawani aayi kaahe ye sabab aaya
kaahe ye jawani aayi kaahe ye sabab aaya
hui aisi halchal hui aisi halchal
mangani padi malmal haay
malmal me ho malmal me badan mora chamke
jobanwa damke sajanwa kaise chupau haye haye
kaise chupau gori bahe
ye tirchi nigahe jawani ki adaye
malmal me malmal me badan mora chamke
jobanwa damke sajanwa kaise chupau haye haye

My body, veiled in muslin, gleams,
Youth's fire blazes, oh, how to hide these dreams?
How to hide these arms, fair and white,
These sidelong glances, youth's delight?
In muslin, in muslin, my body gleams,
Youth's fire blazes, oh, how to hide these dreams?

A silken bodice I did entreat,
A silken bodice, fleeting, sweet.
It barely graced my skin, a moment's grace,
Then snapped the cord as I embraced,
Then snapped the cord as I embraced,
Such a tremor, such a fright,
Muslin I needed in the night.
In muslin, in muslin, my body gleams,
Youth's fire blazes, oh, how to hide these dreams?

To bloom to youth, a sorrow deep,
To know the gaze that makes hearts weep.
Why has youth come, this season's prime?
Why has youth come, this moment in time?
Such a tremor, such a fright,
Muslin I needed in the night.
In muslin, oh, in muslin, my body gleams,
Youth's fire blazes, oh, how to hide these dreams?
How to hide these arms, fair and white,
These sidelong glances, youth's delight?
In muslin, in muslin, my body gleams,
Youth's fire blazes, oh, how to hide these dreams?
