kaajal wale nain mila ke kar dala bechain kisi matvaali ne
are re re lut liya re jhaanjhar wali ne
kaajal wale nain mila ke kar dala bechain kisi matvaali ne
are re re lut liya re jhaanjhar wali ne

zulfe gaalo ko chum rahi thi, ik ghata si jhum rahi thi
panghat se yu chali aa rahi thi wo
ithalaate huye lehraate huye tarsate huye
dil se nikli hay mujhe jab dekha nain jhukaye gulo ki dali ne
are re re lut liya re jhaanjhar wali ne

chaand si gori shokh hasina, hay mushkil kar gayi marna-jina
ek jhalak me hua ye haal ki mai
divana bana mastana bana parwana bana
mai kho baitha hosh mujhe yu kar dala madhosh nashe ki pyaali ne
are re re lut liya re jhaanjhar wali ne

kal sapne me phir aayi thi, ham dono the tanhaayi thi
ghunghat me haay chhupi jaa rahi thi vo
sharmaate huye ghabraate huye muskaate huye
bite saari raat na samajhi mere dil ki baat bholi-bhaali ne
are re re lut liya re jhaanjhar wali ne
kaajal wale nain mila ke kar dala bechain kisi matvaali ne
are re re lut liya re jhaanjhar wali ne

With kohl-lined eyes, she met mine, stirred my soul,
That intoxicating one.
Ah, she plundered me, that ankleted one!
With kohl-lined eyes, she met mine, stirred my soul,
That intoxicating one.
Ah, she plundered me, that ankleted one!

Her tresses kissed her cheeks, a storm cloud swayed,
From the well she came, ah, she came!
With coquettish sway, with tempting wave, with longing's tease,
From my heart escaped a sigh when I saw her lower her eyes, a garland of blooms,
Ah, she plundered me, that ankleted one!

A moon-bright beauty, a flirtatious grace, ah, it made living and dying a plight,
In a single glance, this was my fate:
A madman become, an ecstatic one, a moth in the fire's embrace,
I lost my senses; she intoxicated me, a goblet of wine,
Ah, she plundered me, that ankleted one!

In dreams last night, she came again, we were alone,
Hidden beneath her veil, ah, she was there!
Blushing, faltering, smiling,
The whole night passed, and she, innocent, did not grasp my heart's plea,
Ah, she plundered me, that ankleted one!
With kohl-lined eyes, she met mine, stirred my soul,
That intoxicating one.
Ah, she plundered me, that ankleted one!
