mera dil naach utha re
kangna baaj utha re
kyu ji kyu ye mujhse na puchho re
tera dil naach utha re
kangna baaj utha re
kyu ji kyu ye humse na puchho re

aisi najar se dekha kisi ne
haatho se dil mera jaane laga hai
dil me chhupa tha jo geet mere
hontho pe vo geet aane laga
aankhe jhukne lagi re saanse rukne lagi re
kyu ji kyu ye mujhse na puchho re
tera dil naach utha re
kangna baaj utha re
kyu ji kyu ye humse na puchho re

jaise lachakti hai paani me mauje
arama bhara dil achakta hai aise
raaho me padte hai mere kadam yun
diwaana koi dahakta hai jaise
mukhada damak utha re, tika chamak utha re
kyu ji kyu ye mujhse na puchho re
tera dil naach utha re
kangna baaj utha re
kyu ji kyu ye humse na puchho re

ek rang aaye ek rang jaaye
sholo ke jaisa badan ban gaya hai
hontho pe mere kaliyan si chatke
chehra to dekho chaman ban gaya
dhadkan badhne lagi re main to udne lagi re
kyu ji kyu ye mujhse na puchho re
tera dil naach utha re
kangna baaj utha re
kyu ji kyu ye humse na puchho re

My heart takes flight, it dances so,
The bangles chime, their rhythm flows,
Why, oh why, you cannot know,
Your heart takes flight, it dances so,
The bangles chime, their rhythm flows,
Why, oh why, you cannot know.

Such a glance, a piercing ray,
My heart, it melts and slips away,
The hidden song, within my core,
Now blossoms on my lips to pour,
My eyes descend, my breath subdued,
Why, oh why, you cannot brood,
Your heart takes flight, it dances so,
The bangles chime, their rhythm flows,
Why, oh why, you cannot know.

Like waves that surge on waters deep,
My heart, with longing, leaps to leap,
My footsteps trace a path unseen,
A madman's heart, a burning sheen,
My face now glows, my forehead bright,
Why, oh why, you ask the light,
Your heart takes flight, it dances so,
The bangles chime, their rhythm flows,
Why, oh why, you cannot know.

One color comes, another fades,
My body's now a flame that braids,
Like buds that burst upon my lips,
My face, a garden, softly slips,
My pulse now races, I take wing,
Why, oh why, the questions cling,
Your heart takes flight, it dances so,
The bangles chime, their rhythm flows,
Why, oh why, you cannot know.
