koi haseena jab rooth jaati hai
to to to aur bhi haseen ho jaati hai
koi haseena jab rooth jaati hai
to to to aur bhi haseen ho jaati hai
tesan se gaadi jab chhoot jaati hai
to ek do tin ho jaati hai
koi haseena jab rooth jaati hai
to to to aur bhi haseen ho jaati hai

hathon me chaabukh, honthon pe gaaliyan
hathon me chaabukh, honthon pe gaaliyan
badi nakhre waaliyaan hoti hai, tange waliyan
koi taange waali jab rooth jaati hai to
hai to, hai to aur namkeen ho jaati hai
koi haseena jab rooth jaati hai
to to to aur bhi haseen ho jaati hai

zulfon me chaiyya, mukhde pe dhoop hai
zulfon me chaiyya, mukhde pe dhoop hai
bada mazadar goriye yeh tera rang roop hai
dor se patang jab toot jaati hai to,
hai to, hai to rukh rangeen ho jaati hai
koi haseena jab rooth jaati hai
to to to aur bhi haseen ho jaati hai
tesan se gaadi jab chhoot jaati hai
to ek do tin ho jaati hai
to ek do tin ho jaati hai

When a beauty turns away,
Oh, then, then, lovelier she'll sway.
When a beauty turns away,
Oh, then, then, lovelier she'll sway.
When a train leaves the station's hold,
Then, one-two-three, the story's told.
When a beauty turns away,
Oh, then, then, lovelier she'll sway.

Whips in hand, curses on the tongue,
Whips in hand, curses on the tongue,
Those with tantrums, those who run,
When a carriage-girl turns away,
She is, she is, saltier that day.
When a beauty turns away,
Oh, then, then, lovelier she'll sway.

Shadows in her hair, sun on her face,
Shadows in her hair, sun on her face,
Oh, your form, my love, a delicious grace,
When the kite string breaks and flies,
Then, the season's color does arise.
When a beauty turns away,
Oh, then, then, lovelier she'll sway.
When a train leaves the station's hold,
Then, one-two-three, the story's told.
Then, one-two-three, the story's told.
