neel kamal muskaye
ha neel kamal muskaye
bhanwara jhuthi kasame khaye
neel kamal muskaye

hu basari janki sanam jane
meet kahe adna pahe gane
meet kahe adna pahe gane
raghu to se udd haye
raghu to se udd haye
phul phul neel kamal muskaye
phul phul neel kamal muskaye
bhanwar jhuthi kasame khaye
neel kamal muskaye

dekh sakoge kaise chehare
jag jirale sukun dete hai
jaise banware kali kali muskuaye
jaise bhi geet sunaye jab tose jaye
sathi juthi kasme khaye jab tose jaye
sathi juthi kasme khaye
sun sun neel kamal muskaye
sun sun neel kamal muskaye
bhanwara jhuthi kasame khaye
neel kamal muskaye

Blue lotus laughs,
yes, blue lotus laughs.
The bumblebee swears false oaths,
blue lotus laughs.

My heart, Basari, knows,
my love, knows.
Friends say, sing humble songs,
Friends say, sing humble songs.
Raghus fly to you,
Raghus fly to you.
Flower by flower, blue lotus laughs,
flower by flower, blue lotus laughs.
The bumblebee swears false oaths,
blue lotus laughs.

How can you see my face?
The world's wounds find peace.
As the bumblebee smiles at each bud,
as they sing when they go to you.
Friends swear false oaths when they go to you,
friends swear false oaths.
Hearing this, blue lotus laughs,
hearing this, blue lotus laughs.
The bumblebee swears false oaths,
blue lotus laughs.
