angan me tulsi tulsi ki puja
angan me tulsi tulsi ki puja
karu mai bawriya piya jo ko lage
hamari umariya angan me tulsi tulsi ki puja

bas gaye sajna more ang ang me
rang liya tan man unke hi rang me
sapno ka sawan laya hai jaise
sukh ki badariya
piya ji ko lage hamari umariya
angan me tulsi tulsi ki puja

gharwa lagake pal pal jhumu
kabhi mukh dekhu kabhi mukh chumu
palne me jhume nanha sa lalna
palne me jhume nanha sa lalna
lage na najariya
piya ji ko lage hamari umariya
angan me tulsi tulsi ki puja

pi ki hasi me dekha sawera
charono me pi ke swarg hai mera
chute na ye dunia
mujhse na chute pi ki nagariya
piya ji ko lage hamari umariya
angan me tulsi tulsi ki puja

In the courtyard, basil, basil I adore,
In the courtyard, basil, a prayer I pour.
Lost in devotion, my beloved I embrace,
My life's journey, in the basil's grace.

He dwells within, in every limb,
My body and soul, dyed in his hymn.
Dreams of a monsoon, now softly alight,
Clouds of joy descend, a wondrous sight.
My beloved I embrace, through all life's span,
In the courtyard, basil, in devotion's plan.

My home a dance, each moment's sway,
His face I gaze upon, then kiss to stay.
A newborn's cradle, gently it swings,
Protecting from shadows, the joy it brings.
My beloved I embrace, through all life's span,
In the courtyard, basil, in devotion's plan.

In his laughter, dawn's gentle gleam,
In his feet, my paradise, a waking dream.
This world may fade, its hold released,
But never the city where my love is leased.
My beloved I embrace, through all life's span,
In the courtyard, basil, in devotion's plan.
