mere maathe pe chamak uthi bindiya
ho mere maathe pe chamak uthi bindiya
ho meri aankho me mahak uthi kajra
meri haatho me khanak uthi kangna
ki maahi mera aaha
ki maahi mera laut aaya
ki maahi tera laut aaya
ki maahi mera laut aaya
ki maahi tera laut aaya
mere maathe pe chamak uthi bindiya
ho meri aankho me mahak uthi kajra
meri haatho me khanak uthi kangna
ki maahi mera aaha
ki maahi mera laut aaya
ki maahi tera laut aaya
ki maahi mera laut aaya
ki maahi mera laut aaya

tere bina suni suni thi ye javaani
mar mar ke kati kitani raate suhaani
saavan to chhaye kitane
ho barsa na paani
aaya pardeshi leke ye rut mastani
maine motiya sajaya baalo me
ho maine motiya sajaya baalo me
khile rang gulabi gaalo me
aa gayi nayi lachak chalo me
ki maahi mera aaha
ki maahi mera laut aaya
ki maahi tera laut aaya
ki maahi mera laut aaya
ki maahi mera laut aaya

barse re masti ab to kaali ghata se
khushbu gulaabo ki hain udati hawa se
sara gaon gunje mahi u maahi ke sada se
soya naseeba jaaga re, rab di duaa se
nas nas me mahk uthi kaliyan
ho nas nas me mahk uthi kaliyan
saj gayi meri sapno ki galiyan
kyun na khul ke manaau rangreliyan
ki maahi mera aaha
ki maahi mera laut aaya
ki maahi tera laut aaya
ki maahi mera laut aaya
ki maahi mera laut aaya
ki maahi mera laut aaya
ki maahi mera laut aaya

Upon my brow, the bindis gleam,
Upon my brow, the bindis gleam.
Within my eyes, kohl's fragrance streams,
My wrists resound with bangles' dream.
My love, ah, yes!
My love, he's come back home,
My love, your love, has come back home.
My love, he's come back home,
My love, your love, has come back home.
Upon my brow, the bindis gleam,
Within my eyes, kohl's fragrance streams,
My wrists resound with bangles' dream.
My love, ah, yes!
My love, he's come back home,
My love, your love, has come back home.
My love, he's come back home,
My love, your love, has come back home.

Without you, youth was a vacant space,
I lived each night, in slow disgrace.
Though many a monsoon graced the place,
No rain it brought, to wash my face.
My love returned, to bring this vibrant grace.
I adorned my hair with pearls so white,
I adorned my hair with pearls so white.
My cheeks now bloom, in pinkish light,
A brand new sway to my stride tonight.
My love, ah, yes!
My love, he's come back home,
My love, your love, has come back home.
My love, he's come back home,
My love, your love, has come back home.

Now joy descends, from clouds so deep,
The rose's scent, on breezes sweep.
The village echoes, secrets to keep,
"My love, my love," the people weep.
My fate awakes, in slumber's sleep.
In every vein, the blossoms burst,
In every vein, the blossoms burst.
My dream-filled streets, with splendor nursed,
Why should I not, my joy be first?
My love, ah, yes!
My love, he's come back home,
My love, your love, has come back home.
My love, he's come back home,
My love, your love, has come back home.
My love, he's come back home,
My love, your love, has come back home.
