o khanke
khanke kangna bindiya hanse
khanke kangna bindiya hanse
aayenge sajna hamre angna
khanke kangna bindiya hanse

aayi main saj ke unke liye
jhume ye jhumka jinke liye
aayi main saj ke unke liye
jhume ye jhumka jinke liye
baaje re bichhua kahna maane na
khanke
khanke kangna bindiya hanse
aayenge sajna hamre angna
khanke kangna bindiya hanse

saiya ne ulta ghunghata mera
maine bhi hans ke mukhda phera
haye saiya ne ulta ghunghata mera
maine bhi hans ke mukhda phera
jaagti ankhiya dekhe ye sapna
khanke
khanke kangna bindiya hanse
aayenge sajna hamre angna
khanke kangna bindiya hanse

thamenge jab wo baiya mori
darungi ankhiya kajra bhari
thamenge jab wo baiya mori
darungi ankhiya kajra bhari
kahungi balma humko chhuo na
khanke
khanke kangna bindiya hanse
aayenge sajna hamre angna
khanke kangna bindiya hanse

The bangles chime,
the bindi laughs,
bangles chime, bindi laughs,
my beloved will come to my courtyard.
Bangles chime, bindi laughs.

I came adorned, for him alone,
my earrings sway, for him alone.
I came adorned, for him alone,
my earrings sway, for him alone.
My anklets sing, they heed no command.
The bangles chime,
the bindi laughs,
my beloved will come to my courtyard.
Bangles chime, bindi laughs.

My love unveiled my veil,
I turned my face with a smile.
My love unveiled my veil,
I turned my face with a smile.
Awake, my eyes behold this dream.
The bangles chime,
the bindi laughs,
my beloved will come to my courtyard.
Bangles chime, bindi laughs.

When he holds my arm in his,
I will cast down eyes, kohl-filled.
When he holds my arm in his,
I will cast down eyes, kohl-filled.
I’ll say, my love, do not touch me.
The bangles chime,
the bindi laughs,
my beloved will come to my courtyard.
Bangles chime, bindi laughs.
