kaise jiyunga main
kaise jiyunga main agar tu na bani meri sahiban
meri sahiban, meri sahiban ho
dub marungi main agar main na bani teri sahiban
teri sahiban, teri sahiban

laakho hazaaro me saiya maine chun liya
laakho hazaaro me saiya maine chun liya
laakho hazaaro ne faisala ye sun liya
ek dooje ke vaaste ham bane mere saajana
meri sahiban, teri sahiban

raate guzarati hain saari raat jaag ke
raate guzarati hain saari raat jaag ke
dil chaahe a jaau ghar se main bhaag ke
ghar se main bhaag ke
o aana magar doli me baith kar meri sahiban
meri sahiban, teri sahiban, meri sahiban

kahati hai kya mujhse paayal tere paanv ki
kahati hai kya mujhse paayal tere paanv ki
ek seedhi saadi si ladki main gaanv ki
tere hontho ki baansuri ban gai mere saajana
meri sahiban, teri sahiban

kaise jiyunga main agar tu na bani meri sahiban
meri sahiban, meri sahiban ho
dub marungi main agar main na bani teri sahiban
teri sahiban, teri sahiban, teri sahiban
teri sahiban, teri sahiban, teri sahiban

How shall I live,
How shall I live, if you are not my queen?
My queen, my queen, oh…
I shall drown,
If I am not your queen.
Your queen, your queen.

From a million, my love, I have chosen you,
From a million, my love, I have chosen you.
A million heard this decree,
For each other, we are made, my beloved.
My queen, your queen.

Nights pass, all night, awake,
Nights pass, all night, awake.
My heart yearns to run from home,
To run from home.
Come, but in a palanquin, my queen.
My queen, your queen, my queen.

What does your ankle bracelet tell me?
What does your ankle bracelet tell me?
A simple, plain girl, of the village, I am.
Your lips’ flute, has become mine, my love.
My queen, your queen.

How shall I live, if you are not my queen?
My queen, my queen, oh…
I shall drown,
If I am not your queen.
Your queen, your queen, your queen.
Your queen, your queen, your queen.
