paijama tang hai kurta dhila gazab hai uspe dupatta
paijama tang hai kurta dhila gazab hai uspe dupatta neela
o reshma o neelma idhar to aa na dil tadpa gale lag ja

ye teri nau gaz ki salwar aur uspe pagdi
ye teri nau gaz ki salwar aur uspe pagdi furredar
ho baliya we pagla kabhi sheesha bhi hai dekha
pare hat ja

jara chal sambhal ke chalna
jara chal sambhal ke chalna
ho tere paaw tale mera dil hai
ho tere paaw tale mera dil hai
dekhe hai bahut dilwale dekhe hai bahut dilwale
ho bahkana hame muskil hai bahkana hame mushkil hai
ho goriye ho soniye ho baliye meri ja
paijama tang hai kurta dhila gazab hai uspe dupatta
paijama tang hai kurta dhila gazab hai uspe dupatta neela
o reshma o neelma idhar to aa na dil tadpa gale lag ja

tu saras hai mai bulbul tu saras hai mai bulbul
kya jodi hai teri meri kya jodi hai teri meri
ud jaunga lekar tujhko ud jaunga lekar tujhko
aane de raat andheri aane de raat andheri
o hiriya o makhna o hiriya o makhna
mujhe pahna nahi aata ye teri nau gaz ki salwar
aur uspe pagdi ye teri nau gaz ki salwar
aur uspe pagdi furredar ho baliya we pagla
kabhi sheesha bhi hai dekha pare hat ja

Tight pajamas, loose shirt, a marvel, the dupatta it bears,
Tight pajamas, loose shirt, a marvel, the sapphire scarf it wears.
Oh Reshma, Oh Neelma, come hither, my heart does yearn,
Embrace me close, and let the embers of passion burn.

Your nine-yard salwar, and atop, the turban's proud display,
Your nine-yard salwar, and atop, the turban in a flurry's sway.
Oh Balia, you fool, have you gazed in a looking glass?
Step aside, lest your reflection forever pass.

Walk with care, with measured tread,
Walk with care, with measured tread,
For beneath your feet, my heart is spread.
For beneath your feet, my heart is spread.
I've seen so many lovers, bold and brave,
I've seen so many lovers, bold and brave.
To beguile me now, a difficult maze,
To beguile me now, a difficult maze.
Oh Goria, Oh Soniye, my heart's delight,
Tight pajamas, loose shirt, a wonder takes flight,
Tight pajamas, loose shirt, a marvel, the sapphire scarf's bright.
Oh Reshma, Oh Neelma, come hither, my heart does yearn,
Embrace me close, and let the embers of passion burn.

You are the heron, I the nightingale's song,
You are the heron, I the nightingale's song.
What a pair, intertwined, where we belong,
What a pair, intertwined, where we belong.
I'll fly away, with you in the gloom,
I'll fly away, with you in the gloom.
Let the darkest night now bloom,
Let the darkest night now bloom.
Oh Heeriye, Oh Makhna, my love, my all,
I do not know how to wear your nine-yard shawl,
Your nine-yard salwar, and atop, the turban's proud call,
Your nine-yard salwar, and atop, the turban in a flurry's fall,
Oh Balia, you fool, have you gazed in a mirror's thrall?
Step aside, lest your reflection forever enthrall.
