jab fagun rang jhamakte ho
tab dekh bahare holi ki
tab dekh bahare holi ki
jab fagun rang jhamakte ho

pariyo ke rang damakte ho
khum sheeshe jaam chhalakte ho
mehbub nashe me chhakte ho
jab fagun rang jhamakte ho
jab fagun rang jhamakte ho

nach rangili pariyo ka
kuch bheege taane holi ki
kuch table khadke rang bhare
kuch ghunghru taal chhnakte ho
jab fagun rang jhamakte ho
jab fagun rang jhamakte ho

munh laal gulabi aankhe ho
aur hatho me pichkari ho
us rang bhari pichkari ko
angiya par tak kar maari ho
sino se rang dhalakte ho
tab dekh bahare holi ki
jab fagun rang jhamakte ho
tab dekh bahare holi ki
tab dekh bahare holi ki
jab fagun rang jhamakte ho
jab fagun rang jhamakte ho

When Phagun's hues ignite and gleam,
Behold the spring of Holi's dream.
Behold the spring of Holi's gleam,
When Phagun's hues ignite and beam.

Where fairies dance in vibrant dye,
And crystal goblets overflow, nearby.
The beloved drunk on revelry,
When Phagun's hues ignite and fly.
When Phagun's hues ignite and try.

Dance of fairies, painted bright,
Of Holi's songs, a whispered light.
The tabla's beat, a colored sound,
As ankle bells resound around.
When Phagun's hues ignite and pound.
When Phagun's hues ignite and found.

With rosy cheeks and eyes aglow,
And water guns that overflow.
That spray of color, bright and bold,
Upon the blouse, a story told.
As colors from the heart descend,
Behold the spring, that knows no end.
When Phagun's hues ignite and blend.
Behold the spring, that does extend.
Behold the spring, that does commend.
When Phagun's hues ignite and lend.
When Phagun's hues ignite and spend.
