bairi bindiya lute nindiya
sone na de mohe jaagu sari ratiya
bairi bindiya lute nindiya
sone na de mohe jaagu sari ratiya
rang rasiya man basiya
dore kahe kale janu teri batiya
bairi rasiya man basiya
dore kahe kale janu teri batiya
bairi rasiya man basiya

kaahe na mane teri sakhiyan bhi jane hai
man mein haa hai tere hotho pe bahane hai
jaal falane ke ye nuskhe purane hai
din mein dekhe kaahe sapne suhane hai
ho sach hai ye koi sapna nahi
dhadkan thi dil mein tu har kai
cheer ke dikha du tohe chhatiya
rang rasiya man basiya
dore kahe kale janu teri batiya
bairi bindiya lute nindiya
sone na de mohe jaagu sari ratiya
bairi bindiya

beet na jaye baato mein ye jindgani re
kori rah jaye na chunar meri dhani re
batiya banane mein nahi hai tera sani re
par kaahe bhule pyar maange qurbani re
qurban tujhpe dil o jaan hai
har sans meri tere naam hai
padh le nigaho ki ye batiya
rang rasiya man basiya
dore kahe kale janu teri batiya
bairi bindiya lute nindiya
sone na de mohe jaagu sari ratiya
bairi bindiya lute nindiya
bairi bindiya lute nindiya

My foe, the bindi steals my sleep,
Won't let me rest, I watch the night weep.
My foe, the bindi steals my sleep,
Won't let me rest, I watch the night weep.
You, the heart's hue, my soul's embrace,
Why shadows fall, I know your trace.
You, the heart's hue, my soul's embrace,
Why shadows fall, I know your trace.
You, the heart's hue, my soul's embrace.

Why don't you yield? Your friends all know,
Your heart says yes, excuses flow.
These ancient traps, you set anew,
Daydreams you weave, how they enthrall you.
This is no dream, it's stark and true,
My heart, it beats, just for you.
If I could tear my breast, what would you do?
You, the heart's hue, my soul's embrace,
Why shadows fall, I know your trace.
My foe, the bindi steals my sleep,
Won't let me rest, I watch the night weep.
My foe, the bindi...

Don't let this life slip by in talk,
Lest my green veil stay bare, untouched, un-walked.
No match you find in weaving speech,
Why love demands this painful breach?
My heart, my soul, I give to thee,
Each breath I take, belongs to thee.
Read in my eyes, what they beseech.
You, the heart's hue, my soul's embrace,
Why shadows fall, I know your trace.
My foe, the bindi steals my sleep,
Won't let me rest, I watch the night weep.
My foe, the bindi steals my sleep,
My foe, the bindi steals my sleep.
