o shola badan, o shola badan
o jane chaman, o jane chaman
chilman se nikal ke samne aai allah duhai
arey lut gaya miya juman
ho lut gaya miya juman
nautanki wala bhola bhala, haye
o shola badan, o shola badan
o jane chaman, o jane chaman
chilman se nikal ke samne aai allah duhai
arey lut gaya miya juman
nautanki wala bhola bhala, haye
haye haye haye haye
o shola badan, o shola badan
o jane chaman, o jane chaman

ab mehfil rang pe aai hai
dekho bijli si lahrai hai
jhumki bai ke jhumko se
matwali chaal ke thumko se
jhumki bai ke jhumko se
matwali chaal ke thumko se
har dil ko jhatke lagte hai
sab hawa me latke lagte hai
sahib ne bhi inam diya, inam diya
phir milne ka paigam diya, paigam diya
hum dil apna de jayenge
de jayenge, de jayenge
dilbar ko hum le jayenge
le jayenge, le jayenge
dekho to udhar, dekho to udhar
wo shokh nazar, wo shokh nazar
rang rup badal ke badal ke
samne aai allah duhai
arey lut gaya miya juman
o lut gaya miya juman
nautanki wala haye haye haye
o shola badan o jane chaman

jab kala jadu chalta hai
har gore ka dil jalta hai
kah do ye baat rakibo se
milta hai pyar nasibo se
milta hai pyar nasibo se
ye waqt nahi hai darne ka
ye waqt hai bas kuch karne ka
rakh lo rakh lo
rakh lo ab jaan hatheli par
sabki ki hai aankh akeli par
rakh lo ab jaan hatheli par
sabki ki hai aankh akeli par
dekh ek hazaro diwane
diwane bhai diwane
ye baat kisi ki na mane
na mane bhai na mane
dekho to zara, dekho to zara
ye janewafa, ye janewafa
kis naaz se chal ke, ho chal ke
samne aai allah duhai
arey lut gaya miya juman
nautanki wala bhola bhala haye
o shola badan, o shola badan
o jane chaman, o jane chaman
o shola badan, o shola badan
o jane chaman, o jane chaman

Oh, body of fire, oh, body of flame,
Oh, flower of the garden, oh, heart's cherished name.
From behind the veil, she emerged, a vision so bright,
By God, I cry out, Ju-man is lost to the light!
Alas, Ju-man is ruined, undone!
The simple, naive player, oh, the fun!
Oh, body of fire, oh, body of flame,
Oh, flower of the garden, oh, heart's cherished name.
From behind the veil, she emerged, a vision so bright,
By God, I cry out, Ju-man is lost to the light!
The simple, naive player, oh, the fun!
Oh, how, oh, how, oh, how!
Oh, body of fire, oh, body of flame,
Oh, flower of the garden, oh, heart's cherished name.

Now the gathering bursts into color,
See the lightning in her shimmer.
From the earrings of the dancer,
With the swaying steps of a prancer,
From the earrings of the dancer,
With the swaying steps of a prancer,
Every heart is struck with a tremor,
All seem to dangle, in that splendor.
The master has bestowed a reward, a prize,
And a promise of meeting, before our eyes.
We shall offer our hearts, surrender and give,
We shall take the beloved, and with her we'll live.
Look over there, look, to that place,
At that teasing glance, that alluring grace.
Changing form, again and again,
Appearing before us, by God, I cry amen!
Alas, Ju-man is ruined, undone!
Oh, Ju-man is ruined, undone!
The simple player, oh, the fun!
Oh, body of fire, oh, flower of the garden.

When the dark magic takes its hold,
Every pale heart grows cold.
Tell this to all the rivals,
Love comes to those with arrivals.
Love comes to those with arrivals,
This is not a time for fear,
This is the time, the moment, is here.
Put it, place it,
Place your life within your palm,
All eyes are fixed, and calm.
Put it, place it,
Place your life within your palm,
All eyes are fixed, and calm.
See, a thousand are enamored,
Enamored, yes, enamored,
And nothing matters, is not to be hampered.
No, not, no, not to be hampered.
Look at them, gaze at them, near and far,
This lover true, this shooting star,
With such pride, approaching, she's near,
Appearing before us, by God, I cry here!
Alas, Ju-man is ruined, undone!
The simple, naive player, oh, the fun!
Oh, body of fire, oh, body of flame,
Oh, flower of the garden, oh, heart's cherished name.
