khul gayi re khul gayi re khul gayi re
khul gayi re khul gayi re khul gayi re
mara jwani ne jo jhatka
choli ki dor khul gayi re choli ki dor khul gayi re
choli ki dor khul gayi re choli ki dor khul gayi re

sham ka mausam suhani ghadi thi
kajra lga ke mai to chhat pe khadi thi
niche gali me ek chhela khada tha
piche wo jane kab se pada tha
aankhiya jo lad gayi mushkil me pad gayi
dar ke mare jaan nikal gayi

sine me jor se dil dhadka
saiyan re mai to fas gayi re saiyan re mai to fas gayi re
choli ki dor khul gayi re choli ki dor khul gayi re

raat ko soi thi wo khidki se aa gaya
dhekha jo usko jiya mera gabra gya
pyasi thi aankhe uski dil me kharabi thi
mujh ko pakad kar usne dil se laga liya

maine ki chora chori usne kalai modi maine di lakh duhaayi
usne par jid na chodi jaane kya hoga ab aage
saiyan re mai to dar gayi re saiyan re mai to dar gayi re
choli ki dor khul gayi re choli ki dor khul gayi re

bairan jawani uski baahon me kho gayi
meri na mani haay mujhko daga de gayi
bahka hua tha wo me bhi bahak gayi
sab kuch bhula ke uske seene se lipat gayi
hotho pe chahat mach gayi pyar ki masti chhayi
sanso ke taar jud gae yovan ne li andaayi
pyar me jiya dhadka saiyan re me to lut gayi re
saiyan re mai to lut gayi re choli ki dor khul gayi re
choli ki dor khul gayi re

khul gayi re khul gayi re khul gayi re
khul gayi re khul gayi re baba khul gayi re
mara jwani ne jo jhatka
choli ki dor khul gayi re choli ki dor khul gayi re
choli ki dor khul gayi re choli ki dor khul gayi re

It has come undone, it has come undone, undone,
It has come undone, my love, undone, it has come undone.
My youth, it dealt a blow,
The bodice string, it came undone, the bodice string, it came undone.
The bodice string, it came undone, the bodice string, it came undone.

The evening's hour, so sweet and fair,
With kohl-lined eyes, I stood upon the air,
Below, in the lane, a lover stood,
He'd waited, it seemed, since time he understood.
When eyes met eyes, a struggle then began,
Fear gripped me tight, my very life ran.

My heart it pounded in my breast so strong,
My love, I'm ensnared, my love, where did I go wrong?
The bodice string, it came undone, the bodice string, it came undone.

At night I slept, he came through the pane,
To see him there, my heart, it did complain.
His eyes were thirst, his heart held ill,
He seized me then, against his chest, I still did thrill.

I cried in secret, he twisted my hand,
I begged and pleaded, he would not understand.
What will become, I could not foretell,
My love, I'm afraid, my love, my fears now swell.
The bodice string, it came undone, the bodice string, it came undone.

My traitor youth, in his embrace I lost,
It heeded me not, betrayed at any cost.
He was in rapture, and I, in turn,
Forgetting all, to his chest I did return.
Desire bloomed upon our lips, a love-filled trance,
The threads of breaths entwined, youth took its chance.
My heart it beat, love's echo did resound,
My love, I am plundered, my love, I am unbound.
The bodice string, it came undone, the bodice string, it came undone.

It has come undone, it has come undone, undone,
It has come undone, my love, undone, it has come undone.
My youth, it dealt a blow,
The bodice string, it came undone, the bodice string, it came undone.
The bodice string, it came undone, the bodice string, it came undone.
