khel mere sang kiya tune bada tang kiya
dori mere pas ho toh saiyya tohe khich lu
jane na du jane na du
aankho me basa ke aankhe mich lu

meri ye payaliya geet tere gaye
meri ye payaliya geet tere gaye
chalu tham tham ke ghunghru chanak jaye
meri ye payaliya geet tere gaye
chalu tham tham ke ghunghru chanak jaye
meri ye payaliya geet tere gaye
tann dole re dhitang dhitang
mann bole re dhitang dhitang

ambua ki dali pe jab koyal bole
haule haule birhan ka mann papi dole
ambua ki dali pe jab koyal bole
haule haule birhan ka mann papi dole
kise nind aaye kise chain aaye
piya yaad aaye jiya dhadak jaye
meri ye payaliya geet tere gaye
chalu tham tham ke ghunghru chanak jaye
meri ye payaliya geet tere gaye

ghar baithi sharmau gali me na aau
lat bikhre mann bhatke kahi kho na jau
ghar baithi sharmau gali me na aau
lat bikhre mann bhatke kahi kho na jau
dagar me hay nazar mil jaye
kamar balkhaye chunar sarak jaye
meri ye payaliya geet tere gaye
chalu tham tham ke ghunghru chanak jaye
meri ye payaliya geet tere gaye

hai mere bin tere jiya nahi lage
sari naina mere naina rahe jage jage
hai mere bin tere jiya nahi lage
sari naina mere naina rahe jage jage
agan si mann me lage sawan me
mere aangan me bijli chamak jaye
meri ye payaliya geet tere gaye
chalu tham tham ke ghunghru chanak jaye
meri ye payaliya geet tere gaye

You played with me, you plagued my heart,
If the thread were mine, my love, I'd pull you near.
I'd not let you go, never let you stray,
And with eyes closed, enshrine you in my gaze.

My anklets sing your songs, forever bound,
My anklets sing your songs, forever spun.
I walk with measured steps, the bells resound,
My anklets sing your songs, forever run.
My body sways, dithang dithang,
My soul calls out, dithang dithang.

Upon the mango branch, when the cuckoo calls,
Aching slowly, the lonely heart descends.
Upon the mango branch, when the cuckoo calls,
Aching slowly, the lonely heart transcends.
Who can sleep, and who can find peace?
Beloved's memory, my heart beats to appease.
My anklets sing your songs, forever bound,
I walk with measured steps, the bells resound,
My anklets sing your songs, forever spun.

I blush at home, I dare not face the street,
My unbound tresses, my wandering mind, I fear to lose.
I blush at home, I dare not face the street,
My unbound tresses, my wandering mind, I fear to choose.
If eyes should meet along the way,
My waist will sway, my veil will slip away.
My anklets sing your songs, forever bound,
I walk with measured steps, the bells resound,
My anklets sing your songs, forever spun.

Without me, your heart finds no ease,
All night long, my eyes remain awake, appease.
Without me, your heart finds no ease,
All night long, my eyes remain awake, seize.
A fire burns within, in the season's rain,
In my courtyard, lightning may flash again.
My anklets sing your songs, forever bound,
I walk with measured steps, the bells resound,
My anklets sing your songs, forever spun.
