kajri rain kate na un bin
jiya mera ghabraye
kaise pahunchu
pih ke gharwa haay rama
kaise pahunchu
pih ke gharwa
mori payal shor machaye

jhun jhun jhun
baje payal mori
jhun jhun jhun
jhun jhun jhun
baje payal mori
baje payal mori
kaise aabu blama
chori chori
kaise aabu blama
chori chori
chori chori
jhun jhun jhun
baje payal mori
jhun jhun jhun
jhun jhun jhun
baje payal mori
baje payal mori

ek papi payal baje
ek papi payal baje
duji nanadiya bhi mori jaage
duji nanadiya bhi mori jaage
jeth ka sakhi aankh na lage
jeth ka sakhi aankh na lage
mai to daru hay kasam tori
jhun jhun jhun
jhun jhun jhun
baje payal mori
baje payal mori

payal pakdu, kangan khanke
payal pakdu, kangan khanke
kangan pakdu aankhiya phadke
kangan pakdu aankhiya phadke
laaj se jhuk jhuk jaye palake
laaj se jhuk jhuk jaye palake
sujhi nahi raah balam tori
jhun jhun jhun

The monsoon weeps, yet without him, my heart knows no peace,
A tempest within, a longing I can't release.
How shall I reach my beloved's abode, oh, Rama,
How shall I reach him?
My anklets, they betray, a symphony of drama.

*Jhun, jhun, jhun*, my anklets sing,
*Jhun, jhun, jhun, jhun, jhun, jhun,*
They sing, they sing, my anklets ring.
How can I steal away, my love, my king?
How can I? *Chori, chori, chori, chori*?
*Jhun, jhun, jhun*, my anklets sing,
*Jhun, jhun, jhun, jhun, jhun, jhun,*
They sing, they sing, my anklets ring.

One wicked anklet's chime, a tell-tale sound,
My sister-in-law, she stirs, awakened all around.
My husband's brother, his eyes watch, profound,
I tremble, I swear it, by the sacred ground.
*Jhun, jhun, jhun, jhun, jhun, jhun,*
They sing, they sing, my anklets ring.

I hush the bells, but bangles they betray,
I still the bangles, but my eyes give way.
No path appears, my love, my guiding ray,
*Jhun, jhun, jhun*, my anklets play.
They sing, they sing, how can I steal away,
How can I? *Chori, chori, chori, chori*?
*Jhun, jhun, jhun*, my anklets sing,
*Jhun, jhun, jhun, jhun, jhun, jhun,*
They sing, they sing, my anklets ring.
