dharati ki god me, aasman ke chhanv me
kab se khada hai yah taj
dharati ki god me, aasman ke chhanv me
kab se khada hai yah taj
chhupaye mann me mohabbat ka raj
ke sun lo iski dil ki aawaz

duniya ke aashiko, duniya ke premiyo
duniya ke aashiko, duniya ke premiyo
sun lo mohabbat ka raj
patni ke vaste biwi ke vaste banta yaha aisa taj
banta yaha aisa taj
biwi ko chhod ke gairo se jod ke tode jo apno se prit
paiso ke vaste aisi mehlo me, gaya nahi jaye git
kabhi gaya nahi jaye git
begam ke rup me soya hai pyar yaha

begam ke rup me soya hai pyar yaha
aahista aahista bol, aahista aahista bol
apne jigar ko shehanshah ke iss premi kaleje se tol
mandir yeh pyar ka, tirath sansar ka
ulfat ka hai yeh majahar, ulfat ka hai yeh majahar
bhatake huye ko kehata hai bar bar
sun lo re iss ki pukar, sun lo re iss ki pukar
sun lo re iss ki pukar, sun lo re iss ki pukar

In Earth's embrace, beneath skies so vast,
Since when has this Taj stood steadfast?
In Earth's embrace, beneath skies so vast,
Since when has this Taj stood steadfast?
Hiding love's secret, a mystery deep,
Listen closely, to the heart it does keep.

Lovers of the world, and all who adore,
Lovers of the world, and all who adore,
Hear the secret of love, forevermore.
For a wife, a beloved, a queen so dear,
Such a Taj is built, banishing all fear.
Built for her, a love so true,
But to forsake her, and break vows anew,
To seek elsewhere, and betray what's real,
In gilded halls, such songs can't heal.
Never to be sung, this song so frail.
Love sleeps here, in the Begum's veil.

Love sleeps here, in the Begum's veil.
Speak softly now, speak softly now,
Weigh your heart against the Shah's loving brow.
A temple of love, a sacred ground,
Where devotion's essence can be found.
It calls to the lost, again and again,
Listen to its plea, listen again.
Listen to its call, hear it now,
Listen to its call, and take a vow.
