payal khul khul jaye ram
mori payal khul khul jaye ram mori
ched karat mose nand lal
mora ang ang balkhaaye raam
mori payal khul khul jaye ram
mori payal khul khul
payal khul khul jaye ram
mori payal khul khul

lakh jatan karu ek na mane
lakh jatan karu ek na mane
roop takat baiya dharat chhaliya
lakh jatan karu ek na mane
roop takat baiya dharat chhaliya
bar bar dhalkaye chunraiya
ka karu mai haye ram
mori payal khul khul jaye ram
mori payal khul khul jaye

My anklets, they loosen, Ram,
My anklets, they loosen, Ram, mine.
He teases me, Nand Lal,
Each limb of mine, it writhes, Ram.
My anklets, they loosen, Ram,
My anklets, they loosen.
My anklets, they loosen, Ram,
My anklets, they loosen.

A thousand efforts, none obey,
A thousand efforts, none obey.
He gazes at my form, embraces, deceitful,
A thousand efforts, none obey.
He gazes at my form, embraces, deceitful,
Again and again, he lets my veil fall,
What shall I do, alas, Ram?
My anklets, they loosen, Ram,
My anklets, they loosen, Ram,
