chunri dhalkane lagi thodi thodi
payal chhnakne lagi hai nigodi
dur koi bansuri bajaye

chhodu ye galiya ye mahle ye chaubare
laage na mera jiya bin tihare
chhodu ye galiya ye mahle ye chaubare
laage na mera jiya bin tihare
kah du saajan se
ja ri sharam o take rasta balam
o tujhe meri kasam
tu mujhe jane de o
dur koi bansuri bajaye
naam mera leke bulaye
ja ri pawan mera rasta na rok
mera aanchal na tham
tu mujhe jane de o
dur koi bansuri bajaye

aa aa aa o o o o o o o o
sapno me jisko banaya sanwariya
shayad wo aaya hai meri nagariya
sapno me jisko banaya sanwariya
shayad wo aaya hai meri nagariya
chhupke duniya se
ja ri ghata o mere aage na aa
o mujhe tu na sata
tu mujhe jane de o
o dur koi bansuri bajaye
naam mera leke bulaye
ja ri pawan mera rasta na rok
mera aanchal na tham
tu mujhe jane de o
tu mujhe jane de o
o mujhe jane de o tu mujhe

The veil, it slips, a whisper light,
The anklets chime, a playful plight.
A flute's soft call, from realms afar.

These lanes, these halls, the gilded maze,
My heart finds no peace in these days.
These lanes, these halls, the gilded maze,
My heart finds no peace in these days.
I'll tell my love,
Go, shame, from his path,
My love, I implore,
By my vow,
Let me be,
A flute's sweet call,
My name on the wind, it calls,
Go, wind, block not my way,
My veil, don't restrain.
Let me be,
A flute's sweet call.

Ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
The dream I wove, my dark-hued one,
Perhaps he comes, my city's sun.
The dream I wove, my dark-hued one,
Perhaps he comes, my city's sun.
From the world unseen,
Go, cloud, before me not,
Do not torment,
Let me be,
A flute's sweet call,
My name on the wind, it calls,
Go, wind, block not my way,
My veil, don't restrain.
Let me be,
Let me be,
Let me be, you, me.
