ek munda punjabi
baajar mein vekhya kudiya nu
ek munda punjabi
bajar mein vekhya kudiya nu
gayi malangi chhayi jawani
jabse vekhya kudiya nu

mithi mithi teri jawani
patyale da gola
dekh ke teri khatir
maine ranga basanti chola
mithi mithi teri jawani
patyale da gola
dekh ke teri khatir
maine ranga basanti chola

neeli neeli aankhe teri
dekh ke dil ye bola
ghum raha hai kyu pagle
aise ban ja inka dola
neeli neeli aankhe teri
dekh ke dil ye bola
ghum raha hai kyu pagle
aise ban ja inka dola

soni soni teri aadaye
karti hai diwana
phir majnu aisa na hoga
o meri jane jana
ek munda punjabi
bajar mein vekhya kudiya nu
ek munda panjabi
bajar mein vekhya kudiya nu
gayi malangi chhayi jawani
jabse vekhya kudiya nu

A Punjabi lad,
In the market, beheld the maidens,
A Punjabi lad,
In the market, beheld the maidens.
A madness bloomed, youth's shadow fell,
Since those glances met.

Sweet, so sweet, your youth,
A Patiala pearl,
To see you, for you,
I dyed my saffron cloak.
Sweet, so sweet, your youth,
A Patiala pearl,
To see you, for you,
I dyed my saffron cloak.

Sapphire eyes, yours,
Beheld, my heart declared,
Why wander, mad one,
Become their devotee.
Sapphire eyes, yours,
Beheld, my heart declared,
Why wander, mad one,
Become their devotee.
Fair, so fair, your ways,
That drive me to frenzy.

Then Majnu's plight shall not be mine,
Oh, my beloved.
