o dildar, bolo ik baar kya mera pyar pasand hai tumhe
o gori sukumar, hamari sarkar bada tera pyar pasand hai hame

ye uljhe uljhe bal ye masti bhari chal o ho
ye uljhe uljhe bal ye masti bhari chal
kya khayal hai, kya khayal hai
teri har chal-dhal gori jadu rahi dal
o kamal hai, o kamal hai
piya dekh lo, piya dekh lo javani ka suhana ikarar
o dildar, bolo ik baar kya mera pyar pasand hai tumhe
o gori sukumar, hamari sarkar bada tera pyar pasand hai hame

karoge ji kab mere dil me ghar bolo jadugar
ham to kabhi ke hue tere dilbar ab kahe ki fikar
karoge ji kab mere dil me ghar bolo jadugar
ham to kabhi ke hue tere dilbar ab kahe ki fikar
to phir aao ji
to phir aao ji mera dil bada hai beqarar
o dildar, bolo ik baar kya mera pyar pasand hai tumhe
o gori sukumar, hamari sarkar bada tera pyar pasand hai hame

aao jivan bita le piya mauj mana le
aao jivan bita le piya mauj mana le mil-jul ke, mil-jul ke
zara hamko bata de ab kya hai irade bulbul ke, bulbul ke
piya beech me
piya beech me na ho koi hamare diwar
o dildar, bolo ik baar kya mera pyar pasand hai tumhe
o gori sukumar, hamari sarkar bada tera pyar pasand hai hame

Beloved, tell me, just once, do you cherish my love?
Fair maiden, so tender, my sovereign, your love I adore.
These tangled tresses, this gait filled with glee, oh, ho!

Come, let us spend our lives, beloved, and find joy, united, united.
Tell me now of the bulbul's intentions,
Bulbul's intentions, Bulbul's intentions.
Beloved, let there be
Beloved, let there be no wall between us.
Beloved, tell me, just once, do you cherish my love?
