ghunghat kali ka na khol bhanware
ghunghat kali ka na khol
aur kahin ja ke dol, mera rup bada hai anmol
ghunghat kali ka na khol re bhanware
ghunghat kali ka na khol

kal hi toh maine bachpan ko chhoda, bachpan ko chhoda
kal hi toh maine bachpan ko chhoda
nayi umango se naata hai joda
nayi umango se naata hai joda
komal kishori ko tu barjori
komal kishori ko tu barjori
mat kar daanwadol
ghunghat kali ka na khol bhanware
ghunghat kali ka na khol re bhanware
ghunghat kali ka na khol

rehti hu main sada aanchal sambhaale
rehti hu main sada aanchal sambhaale
kahin koyi meri na kushbu uda le, kushbu uda le
gun gun karte taano mein mere
gun gun karte taano mein mere
pyaar ki boli na bol
ghunghat kali ka na khol bhanware
ghunghat kali ka na khol
aur kahin ja ke dol, mera rup bada hai anmol
ghunghat kali ka na khol re bhanware
ghunghat kali ka na khol

Do not unveil the bud, O bee,
Do not unveil the bud.
Seek elsewhere, my form is precious,
Do not unveil the bud, O bee,
Do not unveil.

Only yesterday I left behind my childhood,
Only yesterday I left behind.
Tied myself to new desires,
Tied myself to new desires.
This tender maiden, do not force,
This tender maiden, do not force,
Do not make her waver.
Do not unveil the bud, O bee,
Do not unveil the bud,
Do not unveil.

I live always with my veil drawn,
I live always with my veil drawn.
Lest someone steal my fragrance,
Lest someone steal my fragrance.
In murmuring whispers,
In murmuring whispers,
Do not speak of love.
Do not unveil the bud, O bee,
Do not unveil the bud.
Seek elsewhere, my form is precious,
Do not unveil the bud, O bee,
Do not unveil.
