pani mein jale
pani mein jale mera
gora badan, pani mein
pani mein jale
pani mein jale mera
gora badan, pani mein
mere badan ki jwala se lahro mein
dekho kaisi laagi agan
laagi agan, pani mein

pani mein jale
pani mein jale mera
gora badan, pani mein

dekha o thandi thandi aag ye sataye
aaye aake koi aag ye bujhaye
jaanu main jaane re jaan jaa
aaye re

pani mein jale
pani mein jale mera
gora badan, pani mein

In water, I burn,
My fair form, in water, consumed.
In water, I burn,
My fair form, in water, consumed.
From the fire of my flesh, in the waves,
Behold the longing that takes hold,
That takes hold, in water.

In water, I burn,
My fair form, in water, consumed.

See how this cold, cold fire torments,
Let someone come, and quench this fire.
I know, I know, my soul departs,
It comes, it comes.

In water, I burn,
My fair form, in water, consumed.
