koi kah de re koi kah de
kyu chhoti pad gayi baliya
koi kah de re koi kah de
kyu chhoti pad gayi baliya
ang ang me rang basanti
ang ang me rang basanti
par galo me laliya
koi kah de re koi kah de
kyu chhoti pad gayi baliya
koi kah de re koi kah de
kyu chhoti pad gayi baliya

mausam hai nirala phul naye
bhanwre bhi rasta bhul gaye
mausam hai nirala phul naye
bhanwre bhi rasta bhul gaye
mai bhi van van me ghumu to
kyu koyal deti gaaliyan
koi kah de re koi kah de
kyu chhoti pad gayi baliya
koi kah de re koi kah de
kyu chhoti pad gayi baliya

payal bajti rimjhim ri
udti far far meri chunri
payal bajti rimjhim ri
udti far far meri chunri
chalta hai pawan to patte patte
kyu dete hai gaaliyan
koi kah de re koi kah de
kyu chhoti pad gayi baliya
koi kah de re koi kah de
kyu chhoti pad gayi baliya

jo phul khilaye van van me
kya wahi basant mere tan me
jo phul khilaye van van me
kya wahi basant mere tan me
mai idhar jhukau nazar
udhar kyu jhuk jhuk aaye daliya
koi kah de re koi kah de
kyu chhoti pad gayi baliya
koi kah de re koi kah de
kyu chhoti pad gayi baliya

Whisper, someone, whisper it now,
Why are my earrings too small?
Whisper, someone, whisper it now,
Why are my earrings too small?
In every limb, the saffron hues reside,
In every limb, the saffron hues reside,
Yet on my cheeks, the crimson calls.
Whisper, someone, whisper it now,
Why are my earrings too small?
Whisper, someone, whisper it now,
Why are my earrings too small?

A season of wonder, blossoms unfurled,
Even the bees have lost their world.
A season of wonder, blossoms unfurled,
Even the bees have lost their world.
I wander, lost, through the forest's deep,
Why does the cuckoo's song chastise?
Whisper, someone, whisper it now,
Why are my earrings too small?
Whisper, someone, whisper it now,
Why are my earrings too small?

Anklets chime, a soft, falling rain,
My scarf dances, a fluttering lane.
Anklets chime, a soft, falling rain,
My scarf dances, a fluttering lane.
The wind moves, through leaves of green,
Why do the leaves offer their scorn?
Whisper, someone, whisper it now,
Why are my earrings too small?
Whisper, someone, whisper it now,
Why are my earrings too small?

The blooms that paint the forest's face,
Does spring reside in my embrace?
The blooms that paint the forest's face,
Does spring reside in my embrace?
I bow my gaze, in this direction's sway,
Why do the branches constantly bow?
Whisper, someone, whisper it now,
Why are my earrings too small?
Whisper, someone, whisper it now,
Why are my earrings too small?
