panghat pe ho panghat pe panghat pe
aaye akele sajan albele balam albele
ho panghat pe panghat pe panghat pe
aaye akele sajan albele
balam albele ho panghat pe

main nayi nar sakhiyan ke sang sang
paniya bharan ko aai thi
sawan ki badariya chhai thi
bas ek gagar bhar payi thi
itane me naino par mere
hath kisi ka aaya
palat ke jisko dekha maine
saiya ji ko paya
main to siya ji se jal gyi
main to siya ji se jal gyi
ankhiya badal gayi dil me machal gayi
aur boli tu kya hai
wo bole chal maile wo bole chal maile
sajan albele balam albele
ho panghat pe panghat pe panghat pe
aaye akele sajan albele
balam albele ho panghat pe

main khushi ke mare uchhal padi
aur chal di sang piya ke
mat puchho rang jiya ke
main khushi ke mare uchhal padi
aur chal di sang piya ke
mat puchho rang jiya ke
jab sajan ne batlaya
tujhe to maine jana
maila thela kuch nahi
milne ka tha bahana
gori aankh jhapak gyi
gori aankh jhapak gyi
gagaro chhalk gyi chunri sark gyi
sakhiyo ne sharmai
aur tane sab jhele haye
aur tane sab jhele
sajan albele balam albele
ho panghat pe panghat pe panghat pe
aaye kakele sajan albele
balam albele ho panghat pe

At the well, at the well, at the well,
My beloved came, alone and charming, my love, so fair.
At the well, at the well, at the well,
My beloved came, alone and charming.
My love, at the well.

I, a new bride, with friends I went,
To fetch water, a maiden's task.
The monsoon clouds, they gathered and wept,
But a single pitcher I could manage to mask.
Then on my eyes, a hand descended,
And I turned to see,
My love was there, a vision splendid.
My heart, it burned, for his decree.
I was consumed, by his presence near,
My eyes, they shifted, my soul took flight,
And in my heart, a tremble, a fear.
And I asked, "Who are you?" in the fading light.
He answered, "Come with me, my dear," he said,
My beloved, my love, so fair.
At the well, at the well, at the well,
My beloved came, alone and charming.
My love, at the well.

With joy, I leaped, and danced along,
With my love, my heart taking wing.
Don't ask the color, where joy does throng,
With joy, I leaped, and took to singing.
And when my love revealed,
"I found you, my light."
No dirt, no grime, merely revealed,
A reason to meet, in the fading night.
My fair eyes blinked, a gentle sway,
My pitcher overflowed, my veil slipped down,
My friends, they blushed, and looked away,
And I bore their taunts, in the village town.
And I bore their taunts, and I felt so small
My beloved, my love, so fair.
At the well, at the well, at the well,
My beloved came, alone and charming.
My love, at the well.
