kajra mohabbat wala ankhiyo me aisa daala
kajre ne le li meri jaan
haye re mai tere kurban
duniya hai mere pichhe lekin mai tere pichhe
apna bana le meri jaan haye re mai tere kurban

aayi ho kaha se gori aankho me pyaar leke
aayi ho kaha se gori aankho me pyaar leke
chadhti jawani ki ye pahli bahar leke
delhi shahar ka sara meena bazaar leke
delhi shahar ka sara meena bazaar leke
jhumka bareli wala kaano me aisa daala
jhumke ne le li meri jaan haye re mai tere kurban

motar na bangla maangu, jhumka na haar maangu
motar na bangla maangu, jhumka na haar maangu
dil ko jalane wale dil ka karaar maangu
saiyaa bedardi mere thoda sa pyaar maangu
saiyaa bedardi mere thoda sa pyaar maangu
kismat bana de meri, duniya basa de meri
karle sagaai meri jaan haye re mai tere kurban

Ink of love, a darkness drawn in eyes,
A kohl that stole my very life's sweet prize.
Oh, I surrender, offer all I can,
The world pursues, yet I pursue my man.
Embrace me, love, oh, take me as your own,
I am your devotee, your heart alone.

Where have you come from, beauty, in your grace,
Bearing love's first dawning in your face?
Where have you come from, oh, so fair to see,
With youth's first bloom, a vibrant ecstasy?
You bring the city's market, rich and bright,
With all its treasures, dazzling to the sight.
The jhumka's gleam, from Bareilly's distant shore,
It stole my life, and I can be no more.
Oh, I surrender, my soul takes flight.

No mansion, nor a car, I now implore,
No jewels I seek, no treasures to adore.
I ask for solace, from a heart ablaze,
A lover's love, to guide me through life's maze.
My cruel beloved, I beseech your grace,
Just a small portion of your love, I chase.
Make me complete, build a world for me,
Oh, bind me to you, eternally.
I am yours forever, your slave to be.
