o mere sona re sona re sona re
de dungi jan juda mat hona re
maine tujhe jara der me jana
hua kusur khafa mat hona re
maine tujhe jara der me jana
hua kusur khafa mat hona re
o mere sona re sona re sona

o meree bahon se nikal ke
tu agar mere raste se hat jayega
to laharake ho balkhake
mera saya tere tan se lipat jayega
tum chhudaao lakh daaman
chhodte hai kab ye arma
ki main bhi sath rahuga rahoge jaha
o mere sona re sona re sona re

o miya hamse naa chipao
wo banavat kee saree adayen liye
kee tum ispe ho itharaten
kee mai pichhe hu sau iltijan liye
jee mai khush hu mere sona
jhuth hai kya sach kahon naa
kee mai bhee sath rahungee rahoge jahan
o mere sona re sona re sona re

o phir hamse naa ulajh
nahee lat aur uljhan me pad jayegee
o pachataogi kuchh aise
ki ye suraki labon kee utar jayegee
ye saja tum bhul na jana
pyar ko thokar mat lagana
ki chala jaunga phir mai najane kaha
o mere sona re sona re sona re

Oh, my golden one, golden, golden one,
I'd give my life, depart not, my sun.
I found you late, in the blink of an eye,
Forgive my fault, do not be undone.
I found you late, in the blink of an eye,
Forgive my fault, do not be undone.
Oh, my golden one, golden, golden one.

If, from my arms, you stray away,
And leave my path, to wander free,
My shadow, swirling, twisting in dismay,
Will cling to you, for all eternity.
Though you may strive, to break the hold,
These longings cling, as stories told,
That I will stay, where you unfold.
Oh, my golden one, golden, golden one.

Oh, my love, hide not from me,
With all your crafted, charming grace,
On which you so proudly preen and be,
While I, with a hundred pleas, embrace.
I am content, my golden one,
Is truth or lie, the words you've spun?
I'll stay with you, where you have begun.
Oh, my golden one, golden, golden one.

Oh, then, don't entangle with me,
Or you'll fall in the tangle and plight,
And you will regret, you will see,
The blush will fade from your lips' light.
This punishment, forget it never,
Do not kick at love, forever.
For I will depart, I know not where.
Oh, my golden one, golden, golden one.
