auro ki khushi mein khush rah kar
jo apna man tadpate hai
kayi sauk chhupa ke ashko mein rote hai
khushi se gate hai

ho mere ghunghuru mere ghungharu
mere ghungharu deewane tere nam se
mere ghungharu deewane tere nam se
haye lakh karenge jag wale ruswayi
hans ke sahungi main to darde judai
mere ghunghru deewane tere naam se
mere ghunghru deewane tere naam se

apni umriya pe raha mera jor na
raha mera jor na
apni umriya pe raha mera jor na
raha mera jor na
hath pakad ke ungali marod na
ungali marod na
tadpe jawani meri aise mart tham re
mere ghungharu haye re mere ghungharu
deewane tere naam se
mere ghungharu deewane tere nam se

main hu kanwari re bhanwara deewana tu
bhanwara deewana tu
main hu kanwari re bhanwara deewana tu
bhanwara deewana tu
najro najro mein hosh na udana tu
hosh na udana tu
tere ishare na hamare kisi kam ke
mere ghungharu haye re mere ghungharu
deewane tere nam se
mere ghungharu haye re tere nam se
haye lakh karenge jag wale ruswayi
hans ke sahungi main to dard judai
mere ghungharu deewane tere nam se
mere ghungharu deewane tere nam se

In others' joy, they find their own torment,
A hidden ache beneath a mask of cheer,
Concealing passions in a tear-stained testament,
They sing of gladness, though their hearts hold fear.

Oh, my anklets, my anklets,
My anklets, drunk on your name,
My anklets, drunk on your name.
Though the world may scorn and whisper blame,
I'll laugh and bear the pain of parting's flame.
My anklets, drunk on your name,
My anklets, drunk on your name.

My lifespan, a river I cannot command,
I have no claim,
My lifespan, a river I cannot command,
I have no claim.
Don't grasp my fingers, don't twist the hand,
Twist not the same.
My youth, it yearns, don't hold me in your sway,
My anklets, oh, my anklets,
Drunk on your name,
My anklets, drunk on your name.

I am a maiden, you, the besotted bee,
The besotted bee,
I am a maiden, you, the besotted bee,
The besotted bee,
Don't steal my senses with your ardent plea,
Ardent plea.
Your signs, they serve no purpose, none for me,
My anklets, oh, my anklets,
Drunk on your name,
My anklets, drunk on your name.
Though the world may scorn and whisper blame,
I'll laugh and bear the pain of parting's flame.
My anklets, drunk on your name,
My anklets, drunk on your name.
