o babua yah mahua mahkane laga hai
o babua yah mahua mahkane laga hai
a mere sans jalate hain, badan me sanp chalate hain
tere bina, ta ra ra ta ra ra ta ra ra

sham sulagati hai jab bhi, tera khayal ata hai
suni si gori baho me, dhuna sa bhar jata hai
barfila rasta katata nahi, jahrila chand bhi hatata nahi
tere bina
o babua yah mahua mahkane laga hai
a mere sans jalate hain, badan me sanp chalate hain
tere bina, ta ra ra ta ra ra ta ra ra

khoyi huyi si ankho se, chadar utar jati hai
jhulasi huyi rah jati hu, rat gujar jati hai
aise me tum kabhi dekho agar
kata hai kis tarah, shab ka safar tere bina
tere bina
o babua yah mahua mahkane laga hai
a mere sans jalate hain, badan me sanp chalate hain
tere bina, ta ra ra ta ra ra ta ra ra

Oh, my love, the mahua blooms and scents the air,
Oh, my love, the mahua blooms and scents the air.
Come, my breaths ignite, in my flesh, serpents stir,
Without you, ta ra ra ta ra ra.

When evening smolders, your thought takes flight,
In empty arms, a smoke-like blight.
The icy path, it never ends, the poisoned moon won't fade,
Without you.
Oh, my love, the mahua blooms and scents the air,
Come, my breaths ignite, in my flesh, serpents stir,
Without you, ta ra ra ta ra ra.

From lost eyes, the veil descends,
I’m scorched and left behind, as the night transcends.
If in this state, you were to see,
How the night's journey wounds me,
Without you.
Oh, my love, the mahua blooms and scents the air,
Come, my breaths ignite, in my flesh, serpents stir,
Without you, ta ra ra ta ra ra.
