patli patang hu main sajna
udaye ja, udaye ja, udaye
patli patang hu main sajna
udaye ja, udaye ja, udaye
tere hatho me hai dor nahi chale mera jor
hatho me hai dor nahi chale mera jor
jana na tunke pe tunka lagaye ja
lagaye ja, lagaye ja, lagaye ja
patli patang hu main sajna
udaye ja, udaye ja, udaye

nach kudiye ni nach nach kudiye
nach kudiye ni nach nach kudiye
dharti hila de tu besak kudiye
nach kudiye ni nach nach kudiye
nach kudiye ni nach nach kudiye
dharti hila de tu besak kudiye
mere seene se lipat meri baaho me simat
seene se lipat meri baaho me simat
na tu piche piche hat ho diwani
gora tera, ho gora tera
ho gora tera rang dekh ke
mere bas me rahi na jawani
gora tera rang dekhke hay

A fragile kite, I am, my love,
Unfurl me, soar me, lift me high above.
A fragile kite, I am, my love,
Unfurl me, soar me, lift me high above.
Your hands, the string, my fate entwined,
No will of mine, no force I find.
Don't let me fall, but piece by piece,
Attach me, mend me, find release.
A fragile kite, I am, my love,
Unfurl me, soar me, lift me high above.

Dance, maiden, dance, oh dance, my dear,
Dance, maiden, dance, let naught hold fear.
Shake the earth beneath your feet,
Dance, maiden, dance, your rhythm beat.
Dance, maiden, dance, oh dance, my dear,
Dance, maiden, dance, let naught hold fear.
Cling to my heart, within my arms,
Cling close to me, from all harms.
Do not retreat, my love, my prize,
Your radiant glow before my eyes.
Your fair complexion, oh so bright,
Steals the fire of my youthful light.
Your fair complexion, fills my soul,
My heart dances, taking control.
