main bholi bhali, gori main ghunghat waali
balam kyu chhup chhup dekhe re
piya kyu ruk ruk dekhe re
hay re hay bholi bhaali, gori main ghunghat waali
ha re hay hay re

main gori mera sajan saanwala
baat kahi naa jaaye
kaali raat ki baahon me
maano chanda muskaaye
bol mere mithe mithe
nain mere tikhe tikhe
hay re hay bholi bhali, gori main ghunghat waali
ha hay re hay hay re
main bholi bhali gori main ghunghat waali
balam kyu chhup chhup dekhe re
piya kyu ruk ruk dekhe re
hay re hay bholi bhaali, gori main ghunghat waali
ha re hay hay re

ghar aane ke kare bahaane, mujhe dekhta jaaye
piya ki dil ki baat jaan
ghar aane ke kare bahaane, mujhe dekhta jaaye
piya ki dil ki baat jaan
jiya aur sharmaaye
pichhe main hat hat jaaun
laaj se kat kat jaaun
hay re hay bholi bhali, gori main ghunghat waali
ha hay re hay hay re
main bholi bhali gori main ghunghat waali
balam kyu chhup chhup dekhe re
piya kyu ruk ruk dekhe re
hay re hay bholi bhaali, gori main ghunghat waali
ha re hay hay re

I am simple, fair, veiled in grace,
Why does my love steal glances at my face?
Why does my love pause, then gaze with care?
Oh, I am simple, fair, veiled in air,
Yes, oh yes, oh, yes.

My fairness meets his darker hue,
Words unspoken, feelings true.
In the night's embrace, so deep,
Like the moon, a secret, to keep.
My words, like honey, softly flow,
My eyes, like arrows, softly go.
Oh, I am simple, fair, veiled in air,
Yes, oh yes, oh, yes.
I am simple, fair, veiled in grace,
Why does my love steal glances at my face?
Why does my love pause, then gaze with care?
Oh, I am simple, fair, veiled in air,
Yes, oh yes, oh, yes.

He seeks excuses to come near,
Just to gaze, and quell my fear.
Knowing his heart, what he desires,
My heart, with shyness, now transpires.
I retreat, my spirit shy,
From the blush that fills my eye.
Oh, I am simple, fair, veiled in air,
Yes, oh yes, oh, yes.
I am simple, fair, veiled in grace,
Why does my love steal glances at my face?
Why does my love pause, then gaze with care?
Oh, I am simple, fair, veiled in air,
Yes, oh yes, oh, yes.
