patang jaisa dole re dupatta mera malmal ka
haye patang jaisa dole re dupatta mera malmal ka
dupatta malmal ka dupatta malmal ka
dupatta mera malmal ka
hawa me khaye hichkole re dupatta mera malmal ka
patang jaisa dole re dupatta mera malmal ka

dabe panv chupke se aaye mujhpe ye jawani
ang ang khila gora rang khila
sabke hotho pe hai meri hi kahani
dabe paav chupke se
ye baat feli aise jungle ki aag jaise
hai shor bada anchal ka
patang jaisa dole re dupatta mera malmal ka

leke yauvan mai to hari jane kaisi bekarari
ruthe nind haay na karar aaye nas nas me bahe chingari
leke yauvan mai to hari
angadayi mujhe aaye palko me lahraye
khumar halka halka
patang jaisa dole re dupatta mera malmal ka
haye patang jaisa dole re dupatta mera malmal ka

mere naina kajrare hotho pe angare
galo pe savere julfo me andhere
man pe rang khile dhup ke sunhere
mere naina kajrare
bacha le buri nazar se laga ke chalu ghar se
galo pe tika kajal ka
patang jaisa dole re dupatta mera malmal ka

My muslin veil, it dances like a kite,
My muslin veil, a kite in airy flight.
My muslin veil, it ripples and it sways,
A kite adrift in sunlit, breezy days.
My muslin veil, my muslin veil.

Youth crept to me, silent as the dawn,
My body blooms, a fairer hue is born.
My name upon each lip, a whispered plea,
Youth's secret spread, like wildfire, wild and free.
The rustle loud, of my veil's decree,
My muslin veil, a kite for all to see.

This youth I bear, a losing game I play,
A restless heart, that steals my sleep away.
No peace I find, a fire in each vein,
This youth I bear, a sorrow and a pain.
A languid stretch, a tremor in my eye,
A gentle haze, as moments drift on by.
My muslin veil, a kite against the blue,
My muslin veil, a dream for me and you.

My eyes, so dark, my lips, a fiery gleam,
My cheeks, the dawn, my tresses, night's dark dream.
My heart, the hues of sunshine's golden ray,
My eyes, so dark, that steal the light of day.
Protect me now, from shadows that may fall,
With kohl I trace, a shield before it all.
My muslin veil, a kite that knows no end,
My muslin veil, my soul it doth transcend.
