dharati ki god me
aasamaan ke chhaanv me
kab se khadaa hai yah taaj
chhupaa_e man me muhabbat kaa raaz
ke sun lo isaki dil ki aavaaz

duniyaa ke aashiqo
duniyaa ke premiyo
sun lo muhabbat kaa raaz
patni ke vaaste bivi ke vaaste
banataa yahaan aisaa taaj
banataa yahaan aisaa taaj
bivi ko chhod ke gairo se jor ke
tode jo apano se prit
paiso ke vaaste aisi mahalo me
gaayaa nahi jaa_e git
kabhi gaayaa nahi jaa_e git

begam ke rup me soyaa hai pyaar yahaan
aahistaa aahistaa bol
apane jigar ko shaahenashaah ke
is premi kaleje se tol
mandir ye pyaar kaa
tirath sasaar kaa
ulafat kaa hai ye mazahaar
bhatake hu_e ko kehataa hai baar baar
sun lo re is ki pukaar
sun lo re is ki pukaar

In Earth's embrace, beneath the sky's soft grace,
How long has stood this crown of stone and space?
In Earth's embrace, where heavens softly play,
How long has stood this love, come what may?
Hiding deep, a love's concealed design,
Listen close, to this heart's divine sign.

Lovers of the world, and those who know of love,
Listen close, to secrets sent from above.
For a wife's sweet sake, a queen's dear face,
This Taj was built, in this hallowed place.
But if you leave your love, to join the crowd,
Breaking bonds, your voice will not be loud.
For love of gold, in these halls so grand,
No songs are sung, across the land.
No songs are sung, I understand.

In the form of a queen, love softly sleeps,
Whispering secrets, the heart gently keeps.
Weigh your soul, by the Shah's loving gaze,
With the lover's kohl, in a loving haze.
This temple of love, a world's sacred ground,
A place of devotion, where peace is found.
For those who wander, lost and far astray,
It calls to you again, again, today.
Listen close, to what it has to say.
Listen close, come what may.
