dekho re logo kitni ye jalim hai mardo ki chaale
jab koi dekhe naar parayi chhupkar dore daale
jab ho jarurat koi bhi surat ye to nikale hai
main to naina ladaike hui re badnam
main to naina ladaike hui re badnam
aise patthar se haye aise khaliya se
aise julmi se dil na lagaye koi ram
main to naina ladaike hui re badnam
main to naina ladaike hui re badnam

sola baras ki main jo hui to kehna
laga haye main mar gaya
leke jo aaya meri sotaniya ram hawale mujhe kar gaya
o mujhe kya tha pata, ke ye dega daga haye
o mujhe kya tha pata, ke ye dega daga
main to karungi na tujhse baya
main to naina ladaike hui re badnam
main to naina ladaike hui re badnam

chanda se gora mera hai mukhda
sharmaye poonam ki raat bhi
o daabe me jal jal jaise mori payaliya,
naache khushi se mere sath bhi
oye maine ye kya kiya haaye jise dil de diya haye
maine ye kya kiya jise dil de diya wo
jo na jaane mohabbat ka nam
main to naina ladaike hui re badnam
main to naina ladaike hui re badnam
shri ram kare tera nam badhe tera kaam badhe
tera maan badhe naadan suno ek bat bata dun sambhu
maine jan jan kar diya kam de dan dan meri man man le
hath tham tera byah kara dun bum bhole

main bhi koyaliya baago ki rani
munde mohalla mere naam se
marta tha mujh par saara jamana, tu jo mila gayi kaam se
kabhi ho na saka haye, tu mere pyar ka haye
kabhi ho na saka haye, tu mere pyar ka haye
hum kare durse salam
main to naina ladaike hui re badnam
main to naina ladaike hui re badnam
aise patthar se haye aise khaliya se
aise julmi se dil na lagaye koi ram
main to naina ladaike hui re badnam
main to naina ladaike hui re badnam

Behold, the cruelty men weave,
Their eyes, when they see a woman, deceive.
When need arises, they emerge,
My eyes, in love, brought forth a surge
Of shame, of ruin, a whispered name.
My eyes, in love, brought forth the flame.

From stone they came, from barren land,
From such a tyrant, no heart should expand.
My eyes, in love, brought forth the shame.
My eyes, in love, brought forth the flame.

Sixteen springs, when I arose,
A death knell, a heart that froze.
He came, took me, a rival's plight,
He gave me unto the night.
Did I know, he would betray?
Did I know, he would betray?
I'll utter not what I became.
My eyes, in love, brought forth the flame.
My eyes, in love, brought forth the flame.

My face, a moon, in silver's grace,
Even the full moon hides its face.
My anklets dance, a hidden fire,
With joy they move, a deep desire.
Oh, what have I done, my love undone?
Oh, what have I done, to love that one?
Who knows not love, its very name?
My eyes, in love, brought forth the flame.
My eyes, in love, brought forth the flame.
Sri Ram, may your name and works grow strong,
May your honor flourish, listen, a secret song,
I did it knowing, a gift I'll impart,
Take my heart, let your hand take my heart,
I will arrange your marriage, Oh Lord Shiva

I am a cuckoo, queen of the trees,
The world trembles at my name, if you please.
The world was mine, their hearts aflame,
You came, and killed the game.
It could never be, my love, you see,
It could never be, my love, for me,
We offer salutations from afar, the same.
My eyes, in love, brought forth the flame.
My eyes, in love, brought forth the flame.

From stone they came, from barren land,
From such a tyrant, no heart should expand.
My eyes, in love, brought forth the shame.
My eyes, in love, brought forth the flame.
