raja mere dil ke raja kaha chala aaja o raja
rani mere dil ki rani mai hu tera jani
dil me toofan hai rut beiman hai
pyar bhi jawan hai alla meharban hai
raja mere dil ke raja kaha chala aaja o raja
rani mere dil ki rani mai hu tera jani

ni goriye aaj najar ko milne de
ve soniya roop mera to khilne de
rahe mili hai manjil ki ye rahe mili hai
bahe khuli hai tere liye bahe khuli hai
jawani ka surar hai fir kyu dur hai
mujhe manjur hai mujhe manjur hai
rani mere dil ki rani mai hu tera jani ho rani
raja mere dil ke raja kaha chala aaja

gulshan se sawan ki pawan chali
lipat gaye aapas me bhanwar kali
o bandh gayi dori sath tere
meri bandh gayi dori
kar li chori man ke mere tune kar li chori
mila dildar hai mujhe intejar hai
doli to taiyar hai ghodi bhi taiyar hai
raja mere dil ke raja kaha chala aaja o raja
rani mere dil ki rani mai hu tera jani

King of my heart, O king, where have you gone? Return, O king, return!
Queen of my heart, I am your beloved, forever bound.
A storm rages in the heart, the season betrays,
Love is youthful, God's grace abounds.
King of my heart, O king, where have you gone? Return, O king, return!
Queen of my heart, I am your beloved, forever bound.

Beloved, let eyes now meet with eyes so deep,
My love, let my beauty bloom, now sleep,
Paths have met, the journey's roads have kissed,
Arms are open, for you, my love, arms are kissed.
Youth's ecstasy, then why such distance kept?
I now agree, I now accept.
Queen of my heart, I am your beloved, forever bound, O queen.
King of my heart, O king, where have you gone? Return!

From the garden, monsoon winds now blow,
Embracing each other, the petals grow.
Tied to you, a thread of light,
My threads of fate, now bright.
Stole my heart, you, stole my heart.
Found my beloved, for me this wait departs,
The palanquin is ready, the horse now bright.
King of my heart, O king, where have you gone? Return, O king, return!
Queen of my heart, I am your beloved, forever bound.
