jaan na pehchan ghar aaye mehman
mere dhole re pran mere dhole
jaan na pehchan ghar aaye mehman
mere dhole re pran mere dhole

bhuli hu mai dhyan bhuli hu mai dhyan
nahi tan ka rah baan
koi kano me preet ras gole
jaan na pehchan ghar aaye mehman
mere dhole re pran mere dhole

aankhiya bholi mujhse boli
aankhiya bholi mujhse boli
man ka bedh kaho na
ek pardesi ne dil pe tere kar diya jadu tona
kiski hai ye shan chedi kisne likhi tan
kiski hai ye shan chedi kisne likhi tan
mere taan ab piya piya bole
jaan na pehchan ghar aaye mehman
mere dhole re pran mere dhole

aaj ye kaisa chanda chamka
chamka chanda aaj ye kaisa
ramka mere angana
bhigi bhigi jaye mathe ki bindiya
khul khul jaye kangana
o khul khul jaye kangana
huye pure arman mila mujhko vardan
jaan na pehchan mere ghar aaye mehman
mere dhole re pran mere dhole re

Stranger arrived, unbidden guest,
My spirit sways, my soul possessed.
Stranger arrived, unbidden guest,
My spirit sways, my soul possessed.

Lost in thought, my mind astray,
No longer bound by flesh's sway.
In my ears, love's nectar flows,
Stranger arrived, unbidden guest,
My spirit sways, my soul possessed.

My innocent eyes, they spoke to me,
Secrets of the heart, they set free.
A stranger cast a spell, it seems,
Upon my heart, in waking dreams.
Whose glory is this? Whose song's decree?
Whose glory is this? Whose song's decree?
My body now sings only of Thee.
Stranger arrived, unbidden guest,
My spirit sways, my soul possessed.

Today, what moon, such brilliance shown,
Ram's light upon my courtyard thrown.
My brow's wet mark, a tender sign,
My bangles loosen, intertwine.
Oh, my bangles, let your music climb!
Fulfillment's promise, grace divine,
Stranger arrived, unbidden guest,
My spirit sways, my soul possessed.
