nath chehre ep saja le pag payal tu bandha le
nath chehre ep saja le pag payal tu bandha le
ho fir dekh tere piche ye jag kaise bhage
tu aage aage to sab piche nath chehre ep saja le
pag payal tu bandha le

jab tu akeli niklegi ghar se puchenge sab yahi tirchi
najar se
rup ye tune paya kidhar se rup ye tune paya kidhar se
lali galo pe lagale lat chehre pe gira le
ho fir dekh tere piche ye jag kaise bhage
tu aage aage to sab piche nath chehre ep saja le
pag payal tu bandha le

rup hai tera char dino ka dan tu karde hai yahi mauka
fir na milega koi anokha fir na milega koi anokha
ho jara kangna chanaak le jara ghunghru tu bandhale
nath chehre ep saja le pag payal tu bandha le

Adorn your face with a pearl, lace your feet with bells,
Adorn your face with a pearl, lace your feet with bells.
Watch the world then, chasing after you, compelled,
You in the fore, they in the rear, pearl-adorned,
Lace your feet with bells.

When you emerge, alone, from home, they’ll glare,
Their glances askance, their gazes unaware,
From where, oh where, did you seize such grace,
From where, oh where, did you find such a face?
Crimson stain your cheeks, let tresses fall free,
Watch the world then, chasing after thee,
You in the fore, they in the rear, pearl-adorned,
Lace your feet with bells.

This beauty of yours, a fleeting art,
Give of yourself, bestow your heart,
For this chance will never again restart,
For this chance will never impart.
Let your bangles chime, your anklets sing,
Adorn your face with a pearl, let the new day spring,
Adorn your face with a pearl, lace your feet with bells.
