shire valeyan haye, shire valeyan haaye
lage khand se mithi mithi
sone se bhi soni soni teri boliya
shire valeyan haaye, sheere valeya
mahi ve mahi ve, mahi ve mahi ve

mehndi ka rag na chhute kabhi sajna
chahun mai tujhe hi subah-shaam
mehndi ka rag na chhute kabhi sajna
chahun mai tujhe hi subah-shaam
maahi ve maahi ve
har dhadakan me tu hai mere man me sanse japati hai teraa naam
mahi ve e, mahi ve e, mahi ve e, mahi ve e

ye bindiya tujhko pukaare har pal
ye kangana kahe mujhe thaam ke chal
ye bindiya tujhko pukaare har pal
ye kangana kahe mujhe thaam ke chal
teri-meri rahe judaa ek hogi na saari umar
tujh ko nahi kuchh bhi pata, mushqil bada mera safar
mahi ve e, mahi ve e, mahi ve e, mahi ve e

sanam ki baaho me bikhar jaaungi
qasam se tut ke mar jaaungi
sun bavari meraa vatan hai, mera dil hai meri jaan
is ke liye ab to mujhe, jina yahaan marana yahaan
baavari re, baavari re, baavari re
mehndi ka rag na chhute kabhi sajna
chahun mai tujhe hi subah-shaam
maahi ve maahi ve
har dhadakan me tu hai mere man me sanse japti hai teraa naam
mahi ve e, mahi ve e, mahi ve e, mahi ve e

Oh, Sweet Cream, Oh, Sweet Cream,
Sweeter than crystallized sugar,
Your words, more precious than gold.
Oh, Sweet Cream, Oh, Sweet Cream,
Beloved, my Beloved, Beloved, my Beloved.

May the henna's stain never fade, Beloved,
I desire only you, morning and evening.
May the henna's stain never fade, Beloved,
I desire only you, morning and evening.
Beloved, my Beloved,
In every heartbeat, you, within my heart, my breath chants your name.
Beloved, oh, Beloved, oh, Beloved, oh, Beloved.

This bindi calls to you, every moment,
These bangles whisper, hold my hand and walk.
This bindi calls to you, every moment,
These bangles whisper, hold my hand and walk.
Our paths, though separate, shall unite for all eternity.
You know nothing, my journey is fraught with hardship.
Beloved, oh, Beloved, oh, Beloved, oh, Beloved.

In my beloved's arms, I shall dissolve,
By oath, I shall break and die.
Listen, mad one, my homeland is you, my heart is you, my soul.
For this, now I must live here, die here.
Mad one, oh, mad one, oh, mad one.
May the henna's stain never fade, Beloved,
I desire only you, morning and evening.
Beloved, my Beloved,
In every heartbeat, you, within my heart, my breath chants your name.
Beloved, oh, Beloved, oh, Beloved, oh, Beloved.
