jalpari jalpari jalpari nili nili khili khili si duniya
thi mere khawabo ki aadhi khuli
ghuli ghuli si duniya thi mere khawabo ki

chandani beh chali tare seher pe nikle
aasaman beh raha tha kuch bhi na thehra tha
ghul gaye mil gaye dost bane gehre
pani ka ye jaha gehra tha nili nili khili khili si duniya
thi mere khawabo ki aadhi khuli
ghuli ghuli si duniya thi mere khawabo ki

pari hu sagar ko ambar se milaugi bahe sath mere
ujale andhere suraj aur chanda bhi dube to
bachaugi pyasi aankho me abhi gile re
gili gili gili gili si duniya hai mere khawabo ki aadhi khuli
ghuli ghuli si duniya hai mere khawabo ki

Mermaid, mermaid, mermaid, a world of azure blooms,
Half-unfurled, the dream-world of my soul.
Dissolved, diffused, a dream-world softly looms.

Moonlight flowed, dawn's stars began to gleam,
The heavens ebbed, nothing remained still.
Melted, mingled, friends of a deep dream,
This water-world, so deep, of azure bloom,
Half-unfurled, the dream-world of my soul.
Dissolved, diffused, a dream-world softly looms.

A fairy I, to bind the sky and sea,
With arms entwined, I’ll journey by your side,
Should light and dark, the sun and moon, all flee,
I'll save the thirsty eyes, the tears that glide.
Wet, wet, wet, wet, this world, a tender bloom,
Half-unfurled, the dream-world of my soul.
Dissolved, diffused, a dream-world softly looms.
