jhanak jhan ghunghru baja re matwali
jhanak jhan ghunghru baja re matwali
diwani ko kya raina ye ujale ho ya kale
jhanak jhan ghunghru baja re matwali

bandhi gayi payal se tu sujhe nhi chahe kuch ho
balkhaye ja jumke bandhi gayi payal se tu
sujhe nhi chahe kuch ho balkhaye ja jumke
dam rukta hai to ruk jaaye
chamcham na ruke thokar khaye ja
bichuaa wali jhanak jhan ghunghru baja re matwali
jhanak jhan ghunghru baja re matwali
diwani ko kya raina ye ujale ho ya kale
jhanak jhan ghunghru baja re matwali

katil yha hai pyar ke tadpi hui jhankar se
pee ke neyan khol de katil yha hai pyar ke
tadpi hui jhankar se pee ke neyan khol de
tu jo mukha se kha na paya ghunghroo bol de
liye ja thumka diye ja tali
jhanak jhan ghunghru baja re matwali
jhanak jhan ghunghru baja re matwali
diwani ko kya raina ye ujale ho ya kale
jhanak jhan ghunghru baja re matwali

ab to teri payal khe mahafil rhe ya tu rhe
lahra ke chal yesi chal ab to teri payal khe
mahafil rhe ya tu rhe lahra ke chal yesi chal
nach diwani yese me kisko
tanman ka gayal kiska jumka kiski bali
jhanak jhan ghunghru baja re matwali
jhanak jhan ghunghru baja re matwali
diwani ko kya raina ye ujale ho ya kale
jhanak jhan ghunghru baja re matwali

Ringing, ringing, the anklets play, oh wild one,
Ringing, ringing, the anklets play, oh wild one,
For the mad, what is night? Whether light or shadow,
Ringing, ringing, the anklets play, oh wild one.

Bound by the bells, you see nothing, come what may,
Twist and sway, dancing, bound by the bells, you,
See nothing, come what may, twist and sway, dancing,
Though breath may cease, let it cease,
Cling-clang never stops, stumble on,
With the toe-ring's chime, ringing, ringing, the anklets play, oh wild one,
Ringing, ringing, the anklets play, oh wild one,
For the mad, what is night? Whether light or shadow,
Ringing, ringing, the anklets play, oh wild one.

Here, the killer of love, with the anguished chime,
Drink deep, open your eyes, here, the killer of love,
With the anguished chime, drink deep, open your eyes,
What you cannot speak, let the anklets say,
Take a step, give a clap,
Ringing, ringing, the anklets play, oh wild one,
Ringing, ringing, the anklets play, oh wild one,
For the mad, what is night? Whether light or shadow,
Ringing, ringing, the anklets play, oh wild one.

Now your anklets say, let the gathering stay or you may go,
Sway and move, walk like this, now your anklets say,
Let the gathering stay or you may go, sway and move, walk like this,
Dance, oh mad one, in this moment, for whom?
Whose body and soul wounded? Whose earring, whose bangle?
Ringing, ringing, the anklets play, oh wild one,
Ringing, ringing, the anklets play, oh wild one,
For the mad, what is night? Whether light or shadow,
Ringing, ringing, the anklets play, oh wild one.
