sabba khulaaye hum unke munh chhupane ka
uda na le koi andaaz muskurane ka
usne bade andaaz se sarkaa ke dupatta
usne bade andaaz se sarkaa ke dupatta
mujhko ishara kar diya lehrake dupatta
usne bade andaaz se sarkaa ke dupatta
mujhko ishara kar diya lehrake dupatta
usne bade andaaz se sarkaa ke dupatta

aayi jo jawaani to bade naajo ada se
aayi jo jawaani to bade naajo ada se
aayi jo jawaani to bade naajo ada se seene se
seene se lipatne laga balkhake dupatta
seene se lipatne laga balkhake dupatta
mujhko ishara kar diya lehrake dupatta
usne bade andaaz se sarkaa ke dupatta

jab unse kabhi arz tamanna kiya maine
jab unse kabhi arz tamanna kiya maine
jab unse kabhi arz tamanna kiya maine daato mein
daato mein dabane lage sharmake dupatta
daato mein dabane lage sharmake dupatta
mujhko ishara kar diya lehrake dupatta
usne bade andaaz se sarkaa ke dupatta

tujhko pehnane ke liye jaane tamanna
tujhko pehnane ke liye jaane tamanna
tujhko pehnane ke liye jaane tamanna jaipur se
jaipur se mangvaya hain rangwake dupatta
jaipur se mangvaya hain rangwake dupatta
mujhko ishara kar diya lehrake dupatta
usne bade andaaz se sarkaa ke dupatta

To hide the world, we veil their face,
lest a smile’s grace should be erased.
With delicate art, a scarf undone,
a whisper of gesture, the dance begun.
With delicate art, a scarf undone,
to beckon me closer, the dance begun.
With delicate art, a scarf undone.

When youth arrived, in pampered guise,
when youth arrived, a feast for eyes,
when youth arrived, and softly clung,
a scarf that swirled, where love was sung.
A scarf that swirled, where love was sung,
to beckon me closer, the dance begun.
With delicate art, a scarf undone.

When she, at last, her longing spoke,
when she, at last, her longing woke,
when she, at last, her longing spoke,
a scarf now held, in teeth that broke,
a blush of shame, the secrets spoke,
to beckon me closer, the dance begun.
With delicate art, a scarf undone.

For you, my love, a gift I keep,
for you, my love, desires run deep,
for you, my love, from Jaipur's hue,
a scarf of color, painted new.
A scarf of color, painted new,
to beckon me closer, the dance begun.
With delicate art, a scarf undone,
to beckon me closer, the dance begun.
With delicate art, a scarf undone.
With delicate art, a scarf undone.
