laya barat laya ghunghata uthane aaya
apna banane aaya wo chanda bhi sath laya
taare bhi sath laya pagal banane aaya wo
mera piya ghar aaya, o ramji
mera piya ghar aaya, o ramji
mera piya ghar aaya, o ramji
mera piya ghar aaya, o ramji
tera piya ghar aaya, o ramji
tera piya ghar aaya, o ramji

meri payal chhanake chhan chhan
meri bindiya chamke cham cham
mera kangana khanake khan khan
mera nikla jaye dam dam
diwani main diwani sharam ko chhod dungi
me ab nachungi itna ki ghungharu tod dungi
najar ka vaar hoga jigar ke paar hoga
meri aankho ke aage mera dildar hoga
mera kangana khanke khan khan
mera nikla jaye dam dam
laya barat laya ghunghata uthane aaya
apna banane aaya wo chanda bhi sath laya
taare bhi sath laya pagal banane aaya wo
mera piya ghar aaya, o ramji
mera piya ghar aaya, o ramji
mera piya ghar aaya, o ramji
mera piya ghar aaya, o ramji

mera dhalta jaye aachal mera bikhra jaye kajal
mujhe lagta hai ye pal pal ho jaungi me pagal
kabhi ruthungi usase kabhi hogi shararat
kabhi koi ghussa ussa kabhi hogi mohabbat
dhadakta hai dil mera na jaane kya karu main
kuchh hone wala hai ji na jaane kyun daru main
mera dhalta jaye aachal mera bikhara jaye kajal
laya barat laya ghunghata uthane aaya
apna banane aaya wo chanda bhi sath laya
taare bhi sath laya pagal banane aaya wo
mera piya ghar aaya, o ramji
mera piya ghar aaya, o ramji
mera piya ghar aaya, o ramji
mera piya ghar aaya, o ramji
tera piya ghar aaya, o ramji
tera piya ghar aaya, o ramji
tera piya ghar aaya, o ramji
tera piya ghar aaya, o ramji

He comes, a procession, to lift the veil,
To make me his own, with the moon in his trail.
The stars, too, attend, to drive me insane,
My Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!
My Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!
My Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!
My Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!
Your Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!
Your Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!

My anklets chime, a tinkling delight,
My forehead jewel shines, a radiant light,
My bangles sing, their rhythm so clear,
My breath escapes, with a rising fear.
A madwoman I am, shame I forsake,
I'll dance with abandon, the anklets will break.
His gaze, a swift arrow, pierces my core,
Before my own eyes, my beloved I adore.
My bangles sing, their rhythm so clear,
My breath escapes, with a rising fear.
He comes, a procession, to lift the veil,
To make me his own, with the moon in his trail.
The stars, too, attend, to drive me insane,
My Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!
My Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!
My Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!
My Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!

My shawl slips low, my kohl now astray,
Each moment feels as if I’ll go astray.
Sometimes I'll be sulking, sometimes playful and free,
Sometimes anger, sometimes love will be.
My heart beats fast, what shall I do?
Something is coming, why do I feel so blue?
My shawl slips low, my kohl now astray,
He comes, a procession, to lift the veil,
To make me his own, with the moon in his trail.
The stars, too, attend, to drive me insane,
My Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!
My Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!
My Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!
My Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!
Your Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!
Your Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!
Your Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!
Your Beloved has come home, Oh Lord!
