gaadi wale ho
jara haule haule chalna
jara dhire dhire chalna
jara haule haule chalna
jara dhire dhire chalna
meri chundari meri chundari
ud ud jaye najar sharmaye
meri chundari ud ud jaye
jara haule haule chalna
jara dhire dhire chalna
jara haule haule chalna
jara dhire dhire chalna

shama suhana tikha tikha
haal na puchho mere dil ka
shama suhana tikha tikha
haal na puchho mere dil ka
main mar gayi ui mar gayi
main mar gayi ui mar gayi
ye meri chundari ud ud jaye
jara haule haule chalna
jara dhire dhire chalna
jara haule haule chalna
jara dhire dhire chalna

meri najar mastani
jane hai kiski deewani
meri najar mastani
jane hai kiski deewani
mera bhumra jane kaha gaya
mera bhumra ji gabraye
ye meri chundari ud ud jaye
jara haule haule chalna
jara dhire dhire chalna
jara haule haule chalna
jara dhire dhire chalna

O, charioteer,
go softly, softly,
go slowly, slowly,
go softly, softly,
go slowly, slowly.
My veil, my veil,
flies high, my eyes shy,
my veil flies high.
Go softly, softly,
go slowly, slowly,
go softly, softly,
go slowly, slowly.

The flame, so sweet, so sharp,
do not ask of my heart's plight.
The flame, so sweet, so sharp,
do not ask of my heart's plight.
I am dying, oh, I am dying,
I am dying of shame, alas!
Passion burns,
and my veil flies high.
Go softly, softly,
go slowly, slowly,
go softly, softly,
go slowly, slowly.

My eyes, intoxicated,
know not whose beloved I am.
My eyes, intoxicated,
know not whose beloved I am.
My bumblebee, where has he gone?
My bumblebee, my heart trembles.
And my veil flies high.
Go softly, softly,
go slowly, slowly,
go softly, softly,
go slowly, slowly.
