jab usne gesu bikhraye badal aaya jhum ke
mast umange lahrai hai rangi mukhda chum ke

gumcha mahka bulbul chahka
nache bhawra ghum ke
gumcha mahka bulbul chahka
nache bhawra ghum ke
jab usne gesu bikhraye badal aaya jhum ke

uske nain gulabi uske nain gulabi
karde sabko sarabi karde sabko sarabi
badal aaya jhum ke jab usne gesu bikhraye
badal aaya jhum ke

jab has has kar wo bole kano me wo ras ghole
har dil me arman dole ishk apni aankhe khole
jab has has kar wo bole kano me wo ras ghole
har dil me arman dole ishk apni aankhe khole
usne paymana chalkaya
aasha ki masti me aachal dhalkaya
usne paymana chalkaya
aasha ki masti me aachal dhalkaya aasha ki
rum jhum rum jhum badal aaya jhum ke
jab usne gesu bikhraye badal aaya jhum ke
mast umange lahrai hai rangi mukhda chum ke

When she unbound her tresses, clouds came swaying low,
Intoxicated swells of joy, her painted face did know.

The rose unfurled, the nightingale did sing,
The bumblebee in circles danced, on eager wing.
The rose unfurled, the nightingale did sing,
The bumblebee in circles danced, on eager wing.
When she unbound her tresses, clouds came swaying low.

Her eyes, a blush of rose, her eyes, a blush of rose,
Made all the world inebriate, made all the world inebriate,
Clouds came swaying low, when she unbound her tresses,
Clouds came swaying low.

When she laughed, and spoke so sweet, in ears a nectar poured,
Desires within each heart awoke, and love its eyes unboard.
When she laughed, and spoke so sweet, in ears a nectar poured,
Desires within each heart awoke, and love its eyes unboard.
She spilled the brimming cup of wine,
In hope's sweet revel, let her veil decline.
She spilled the brimming cup of wine,
In hope's sweet revel, let her veil decline, in hope.
Rum-jhum, rum-jhum, the clouds came swaying low,
When she unbound her tresses, clouds came swaying low,
Intoxicated swells of joy, her painted face did know.
