dholi o dholi, ha dholi o dholi
dholi baja re dhol, dholi baja re dhol huyi hai raat rangili
aankho ki boli bol, huyi hai raat rangili

meraa kangna khan khan bole, meri payal chhan chhan bole
meri bali chhumke dole, chori chori haule haule
tere ishk ki khul gayi pol, huyi hai raat rangili
dholi baja re dhol
han tere ishk ki khul gayi pol, huyi hai raat rangili
dholi baja rey dhol

teri javani pe hai aaj raat
honto pe aayi dil ki aaj baat, kuchh ho naa jaye mai darti hu
han han, kuchh ho naa jaye mai daraati hu
mai laj key mare marti, mai laj key mare marti hun
laj key bandhan khol, ai han han, ai han han
too laj key bandhan khol, huyi hai raat rangili
dholi baja rey dhol

kehte hain chahat jisko meri jan
uss rog ki naa dava hai naa dua ha ha
sab kaa yeh chain chhin leta hai
ha ha, sab kaa yeh chain chhin leta hai
yeh dard sabhi ko deta hai, yeh dard sabhi ko deta hai

yeh dard toh hai anmol, ai han han, ai han han
han yeh dard toh hai anmol, huyi hai raat rangili
meraa kangna khan khan bole, meri payal chhan chhan bole
meri bali chhumke dole, chori chori haule haule
dholi baja rey dhol, huyi hai raat rangili
dholi baja rey dhol

Drummer, oh drummer, yes, drummer, oh drummer,
Play the drum, drummer, play the drum, a night of vibrant hues,
Speak the language of the eyes, a night of vibrant hues.
My bangles sing a song, my anklets chime a tune,
My earrings sway and dance, secretly, softly,
The secret of your love revealed, a night of vibrant hues,
Drummer, play the drum.
Yes, the secret of your love revealed, a night of vibrant hues,
Drummer, play the drum.

Tonight, your youth holds court,
On my lips, the heart's unspoken word, I fear what may unfold,
Yes, I fear what may unfold,
I perish in my shame, I perish in my shame,
Unbind the chains of modesty, oh yes, oh yes,
You unbind the chains of modesty, a night of vibrant hues,
Drummer, play the drum.

They call it love, my love,
That malady has no cure, no prayer, ha ha,
It steals the peace of all,
Ha ha, it steals the peace of all,
It gives this pain to everyone, it gives this pain to everyone.

This pain, it is invaluable, oh yes, oh yes,
Yes, this pain, it is invaluable, a night of vibrant hues,
My bangles sing a song, my anklets chime a tune,
My earrings sway and dance, secretly, softly,
Drummer, play the drum, a night of vibrant hues,
Drummer, play the drum.
