patli kamar nazuk umar
are hat muhe mujhe lag jayegi najar
are hat muhe mujhe lag jayegi najar
patli kamar nazuk umar
are hat muhe mujhe lag jayegi najar
thandi thandi aahe na bhar
are hat muhe mujhe lag jayegi najar
are hat muhe mujhe lag jayegi najar

mai hu nanhi si kali mai hu nanhi si kali
mai hu nazo ki pali bhawre chale aaye sare meri gali
meri gali meri gali haye re chain mera kho gaya
nind meri ud gayi kabhi idhar mud gayi
kabhi udhar mud gayi aye mere khuda mai jau kaha
are hat muhe mujhe lag jayegi najar
patli kamar nazuk umar patli kamar nazuk umar
are hat muhe mujhe lag jayegi najar
are hat muhe mujhe lag jayegi najar

meri julfe hai ghani meri julfe hai ghani
mai hu heere ki tani
haye na tut jau mai hu shishe ki bani
shishe ki bani shishe ki bani
shishe ki bani shishe ki bani
haye re pas nahi aana dur se hi dekhna
naino ke teer chale or bache ek na
jane jaha jane jigar are hat na are hat na
are hat muhe mujhe lag jayegi najar
patli kamar nazuk umar patli kamar nazuk umar
are hat muhe mujhe lag jayegi najar
are hat muhe mujhe lag jayegi najar
thandi thandi aahe na bhar
are hat muhe mujhe lag jayegi najar
are hat muhe mujhe lag jayegi najar
are hat muhe mujhe lag jayegi najar
are hat muhe mujhe lag jayegi najar

Slender waist, tender years,
Beware, lest my gaze ensnare.
Beware, lest my gaze ensnare.
Slender waist, tender years,
Beware, lest my gaze ensnare.
Do not sigh, breath of chill,
Beware, lest my gaze ensnare.
Beware, lest my gaze ensnare.

I am a tender bud, a tender bud,
Nurtured in delicate grace,
Bees swarm to my street, to my place.
My place, my place, alas, my peace is lost,
Sleep has fled, now I turn,
This way and that, oh my God, where to turn?
Beware, lest my gaze ensnare.
Slender waist, tender years, slender waist, tender years,
Beware, lest my gaze ensnare.
Beware, lest my gaze ensnare.

My tresses, a dark, dense wood,
I am a gem, finely hewn,
Lest I shatter, made of glass, I am.
Made of glass, made of glass,
Made of glass, made of glass,
Alas, do not come near, observe from afar,
Arrows of the eyes fly, leaving none,
Beloved, my life, my soul, beware, do not,
Beware, lest my gaze ensnare.
Slender waist, tender years, slender waist, tender years,
Beware, lest my gaze ensnare.
Beware, lest my gaze ensnare.
Do not sigh, breath of chill,
Beware, lest my gaze ensnare.
Beware, lest my gaze ensnare.
Beware, lest my gaze ensnare.
Beware, lest my gaze ensnare.
