basre ki hur gori gori
milne ko aayi chori chori
hotho pe naam tera lele salam mera
nazre hai kaji tere dil hai gulam tera
nazre hai kaji tere dil hai gulam tera
chandola chandola chala chandola
chandola chandola chala chandola
chand me sama ke jaha chandola

oo mere habib aaja dil ke karib aaja
dur rahne wale
aayi bahar hai aankho me pyar hai
dil me karar hai jina dushvar hai
basre ki hur gori gori
milne ko aayi chori chori
hotho pe naam tera lele salam mera
nazre hai kaji tere dil hai gulam tera
nazre hai kaji tere dil hai gulam tera
chandola chandola chala chandola
chandola chandola chala chandola
chand me sama ke jaha chandola

o mere hasin sathi thodi si raat baki
dil ki duniya basa le
aankho ka jaam le dil ka paiyam le
daman ko tham le himmat se kam le
basre ki hur gori gori

A Basra nymph, her skin a pearl,
Comes in secret, her heart unfurled.
Upon her lips, your name takes flight,
My greetings offered, day and night.
Your gaze, my judge, my heart your slave,
Your gaze, my judge, my heart your grave.

Chandola, Chandola, the journey starts,
Chandola, Chandola, in broken hearts.
Into the moon, Chandola departs.

Oh, my beloved, draw near,
You who linger, hold me dear.
Spring has arrived, in my eyes, love's grace,
My heart at peace, though life's a race.
A Basra nymph, her skin a pearl,
Comes in secret, her heart unfurled.
Upon her lips, your name takes flight,
My greetings offered, day and night.
Your gaze, my judge, my heart your slave,
Your gaze, my judge, my heart your grave.

Chandola, Chandola, the journey starts,
Chandola, Chandola, in broken hearts.
Into the moon, Chandola departs.

Oh, my fair companion, the night's embrace,
Build a world, within my heart's space.
Take the drink of eyes, the heart's decree,
Grasp my hand, and courageously be.
A Basra nymph, her skin a pearl...
