mane gin gin mane gin gin baras bitaye
ke deep jalaye re mane gin gin baras bitaye
ke deep jalaye re koi mujhko apni banaye
ke pyar jagaye raha na ab jaye
kaha na kachu jaye
to koi more naino ki nindiya churaye
jiya lehar lehar lehraye

kab chamak chandani ratain hongi ratain
kab dil mil unse batain hongi batain
kab chamak chandani ratain hongi ratain
kab dil mil unse batain hongi batain
vo kahainge mujhse rani
badi meharbani idhar to aao tadap jiya jaye
kahungi tohe laj sharam nahi aye
jiya lehar lehar lehraye ke man lalchaye
geet koi gaye re
sapan mere jewan ke muskaye
jiya lehar lehar lehraye

I counted, I counted, the years I have known,
Lit lamps of longing, the seeds I have sown.
I counted the years, a life I have spent,
Lit lamps of longing, my spirit unbent.
Oh, if only someone would claim me as their own,
Awaken love's embers, now embers that moan.
I can't speak of the hurt, the ache that I bear,
No words can convey the depths of despair.
Oh, if only someone would steal sleep from my eyes,
My soul would then ripple, a beautiful prize.

When will the moon-kissed nights finally gleam?
When will my heart and their hearts softly dream?
When will the moon-kissed nights finally gleam?
When will my heart and their hearts softly dream?
They will say to me, "My queen, come near,
With such kindness, end this tormenting fear."
I will say, "Do you have no shame?"
My soul will then ripple, ignited by flame,
My heart will be tempted, my desires bloom,
Let a song then be sung, dispelling the gloom.
My life's dreams then bloom, smiling and bright,
My soul will then ripple, bathed in pure light.
