khel tamaashe wali are aayi re aayi re aayi
kamaal mori bindiya, kamaal mora jhumka
kamaal mori bindiya, kamaal mora jhumka
bajaay ke chalu bichhuva, lagaaye ke chalu thumka
kamaal mori bindiya, kamaal mora jhumka
bajaay ke chalu bichhuva, lagaaye ke chalu thumka
kamaal mori bindiya, kamaal mora jhumka
kamaal mori bindiya ho

na karu koi gulami, na du kisi ko salaami
haath aau kisi ke to log kare badnaami
bade gulfaam mile, subah aur sham yaha
sabhi ko mujhse koi kaam yaha, kaam yaha
huzur main hu tohfa bahaar ke mausam ka
kamaal mori bindiya, kamaal mora jhumka
kamaal mori bindiya ho
ek diwane ne puchha, kya teri ho gayi shadi
tu jo kunwari hain aaja banke meri shehzaadi
mere sarkaar suno, sone chandi ke liye
yaha jo bechte dil main vo nahi, main vo nahi
maaf karo raja fareb na do hum ka
kamaal mori bindiya, kamaal mora jhumka
kamaal mori bindiya hay

mere hontho ki hasi, meri aankho ka nasha
mere aanchal ki hawa, mere julfo ki ghata
kisi ko maar gayi, kisi ko taar gayi
mera dil le ek magar, mere dildaar kayi
koi de chhalla, koi anguthi
wada bhi ye jhutha, nishani bhi ye jhuthi
ghunghru bajaati main to jaha jaau
ungli pe saare zamaane ko nachaau
ilaaz karu main to har dil ke har ek gam ka
kamaal mori bindiya, kamaal mora jhumka
kamaal mori bindiya, kamaal mora jhumka
bajaay ke chalu bichhuva, lagaaye ke chalu thumka
kamaal mori bindiya, kamaal mora jhumka
kamaal mori bindiya hoy

The show's arrived, oh, it's arrived, arrived, arrived!
My bindi's a marvel, my earrings, a marvel,
My bindi's a marvel, my earrings, a marvel.
As anklets chime, I dance with a sway,
My bindi's a marvel, my earrings, a marvel,
As anklets chime, I dance with a sway,
My bindi's a marvel, my earrings, a marvel,
My bindi, oh, a marvel!

I bow to no one, give no fleeting salute,
Elude all grasp, lest whispers pollute.
Grand blossoms bloom, both morn and eve,
All seek a purpose, from me they conceive.
I am the gift, the season's sweet prize,
My bindi's a marvel, my earrings, a marvel,
My bindi, oh, a marvel!

A madman inquired, "Have you wed, my dear?"
"Still unwed, then, be my princess here."
My Lord, I say, for gold and silver bright,
They trade in hearts, but I don't, no, I don't, in their light.
Forgive me, my King, no deceit do I crave,
My bindi's a marvel, my earrings, a marvel,
My bindi, oh, a marvel!

My lips' sweet laughter, my eyes' mystic wine,
My veil's soft whisper, my tresses' design.
Some I slay, some I lift to the stars,
My heart I give to one, yet my loved ones are far.
Some offer rings, pledges that turn to dust,
Promises broken, a hollow trust.
As anklets chime, wherever I tread,
I dance and sway, the whole world misled,
I ease the pain, the wounds of every heart's drum.
My bindi's a marvel, my earrings, a marvel,
My bindi's a marvel, my earrings, a marvel,
As anklets chime, I dance with a sway,
My bindi's a marvel, my earrings, a marvel,
My bindi, oh, a marvel!
