main to hu malamal
maharani rani rani rani
main to hu malamal
maharani rani rani rani
main to hu malamal
dhul me lipti firti thi main
koyale me jaise heera
hawas ka sagar faila tha
sharam ka tha na koi janjira
nind se ek dum jag uthi main
dard se us pal bhag uthi main
sab ko nani yad dila di
mat puchho kaise
aa pahuchi nayi dunia me
jaha mila naya jiwan
ek sikhane wala mujhko bachane wala
kalam ka jadugar, main to hu malamal
maharani rani rani rani

khabro ki aakash pe aa
ek sitara dikhta hain
jis akhbar me main likh du
wo akhbar hi bikta hai
koi kahe photo chhapwa du
koi kahe mantri banwa du
kaiyo ki takdir bana di
lekh likhe aise
ho neta ya abhineta
sab ko line me bandha
chakkar chalane wale, mukti dilane wale
aashik mere beshumar, main to hu malamal
maharani rani rani rani

he he yaha waha ki sair bhi karli
dekhi hai dunia sari
desh videsh me chahne wale
london rome jaane waalo ki bari
dunia bhar ke raja seth
jate mere aage let
leke pound dollar french, or desi rupaiya
koi kahe i love you darling
koi hello my dear
main kahu na hona itne bekarar
main to hu malamal
maharani rani rani rani rani rani
main to hu malamal
maharani rani rani rani rani rani
rani rani rani rani rani
tum to ho malamal
tum to ho malamal

I am opulent, overflowing,
A queen, a queen, a queen.
I am opulent, overflowing,
A queen, a queen, a queen.
I am opulent, overflowing.

Once, I wandered, dust-enshrouded,
A diamond in a coal's dark keep.
Lust's ocean roared, unbounded,
Shame's chains I could not leap.
But from slumber, I awoke in haste,
From that pain, I fled the waste.
I brought a reckoning to all,
Do not ask how.
Into a new world I did fall,
Where life was born anew.
A teacher, savior, true,
A wordsmith's grace, I am opulent.
A queen, a queen, a queen.

Upon the newsprint skies I rise,
A star for all to see.
The paper where my words now lie,
It thrives, and all agree.
Some plead for photos, fame, and form,
Some would make me minister, transform.
I've shaped so many destinies,
With words that cut so deep.
Politicians, actors, too,
I bind them to my sway.
I spin the world, release the soul,
My lovers, oh, they multiply.
I am opulent, overflowing,
A queen, a queen, a queen.

I've journeyed far, and wide I've roamed,
The world's vast sights I've known.
Admirers gather, far from home,
London, Rome, my seeds are sown.
Kings and merchants bow to me,
Bearing pounds and dollars, too,
Francs and rupees, all I see.
Some whisper, "I love you, darling,"
Some, "Hello, my dear."
But I say, do not despair,
I am opulent, overflowing.
A queen, a queen, a queen, a queen, a queen.
I am opulent, overflowing.
A queen, a queen, a queen, a queen, a queen.
Queen, queen, queen, queen, queen.
You are opulent, overflowing.
You are opulent, overflowing.
