ek tha raja ek thi rani ek tha rajkumar
pyar bhari thi dunia unki usse bhara ghara bar
raja ke man me ek din jane kaisa samaya
de gaya wo pyar ke nate dekh ke teri maya
raja nikla desh paraye lane heere moti
tab se beta re bahe pasare rain roti roti
aaja re aaja pardesi raja munnna tujhko bulaye
ro ro ke hari rani bechari munne ko nind na aaye

muhjse to tum ruthe sahi bhulega munne ka pyar kya
muhjse to tum ruthe sahi bhulega munne ka pyar kya
pahuchi nahi kano talak ek nanhi si dil ki pukar kya
aaja re aaja pardesi raja munnna tujhko bulaye
ro ro ke hari rani bechari munne ko nind na aaye

kehta hai dil aaoge tum sone ki nagri ke par se
kehta hai dil aaoge tum sone ki nagri ke par se
hoti nahi daulat badi sacche dil ko pyar se
aaja re aaja pardesi raja munnna tujhko bulaye
ro ro ke hari rani bechari munne ko nind na aaye

Once, a King, a Queen, a Prince so fair,
Their world was love, their home beyond compare.
A shadow fell upon the King's desire,
Enticed by gems, a burning, worldly fire.
He sought for jewels, across a distant shore,
Leaving his son, the Queen to weep and implore.
"Come back, my love, my Prince, my sun," she'd cry,
The grieving Queen, her son's unanswered sigh.

Though you may stray, and break our tender tie,
Forget the love that shines within his eye?
Though you may stray, and break our tender tie,
Did not his soul, a silent prayer, fly?
"Come back, my love, my Prince, my sun," she'd cry,
The grieving Queen, her son's unanswered sigh.

My heart still whispers, from a golden land,
My heart still whispers, across the shifting sand,
That love's true wealth transcends the golden strand.
"Come back, my love, my Prince, my sun," she'd cry,
The grieving Queen, her son's unanswered sigh.
