ye mast samma ye vaadiya kuch der yaha ruk ja
do baatein kar le pyar ki o mere sone beparwah
o basanti dil ko mere tu hi pasand thi
o basanti dil ko mere tu hi pasand thi
o laila majnu ban ke aaye rangha heer ham kahlaye
teri meri rahi sadiyo se khanki
o basanti dil ko mere tu hi pasand thi

ye lambi choti nagin se dole
o dilwale kair mana le lahara ke bole
ye lambi choti nagin se dole
o dilwale kair mana le lahara ke bole
o lekin ham hai diwane jo na haar kisi se mane
apni jid hai kaise apne mann ki
o basanti dil ko mere tu hi pasand thi

kangana khanak uthe jhume re jhumke
chale jab itne raaho me mar ke thumke hoye
kangana khanak uthe jhume re jhumke
chale jab itne raaho me mar ke thumkr hoye
kaam ki baat kahun sun le
ek achha sa sathi chhun le
dushman rup ke hazaroon lajvanti
o basanti dil ko meretu hi pasand thi
o basanti dil ko mere tu hi pasand thi

This joyous vista, these valleys, linger a while,
Let us speak of love, a moment to beguile.
Oh, my golden, carefree one,
Oh, my Basanti, you were the heart's sun.
We became Majnu and Laila, Ranjha and Heer,
Your echo and mine, through ages, held dear.
Oh, my Basanti, you were the heart's sun.

Your long braid, a serpent, dances free,
Oh, heart-bearer, hope for peace, as it sways to me.
Your long braid, a serpent, dances free,
Oh, heart-bearer, hope for peace, as it sways to me.
But we are those mad ones, who yield to none,
Our will is the way of our own heart's run.
Oh, my Basanti, you were the heart's sun.

Your bangles chime, your earrings sway,
As you walk, your footsteps light the way.
Your bangles chime, your earrings sway,
As you walk, your footsteps light the way.
Speak now of what matters, listen with care,
Choose a good companion, beyond compare.
Thousands of foes in beauty's guise, a sight,
Oh, my Basanti, you were the heart's light.
Oh, my Basanti, you were the heart's sun.
