prem ki pyaari nishaani
jaag rahi sar pe baadal taaj
ruk musaafir aansu ki
ruk musaafir aansu ki
bhent chadha le aaj
sar pe baadal taaj

aahen, aahen tumhaari ae shah jahan
rakh gayi ye prem kaa nishaan
maut jeet ke tum hi bassaye
yahaan prem ka raaj
tajmahal mere taaj
tajmahal mere taaj

prem ki rani kaha mumtaz
piyaa ke abhimaan
tumhri yaad kare kare roye
tumhri yaad kare kare roye
pyara hindustan
aansu bahawe aage jamuna
jamuna, jamuna
chameli kusum roye apna
chameli, chameli, chameli
chameli kusum roye apna
bujh gayi shamaa mehfil ki
pade reh gaye saaz
tajmahal mere taaj
tajmahal mere taaj

A tender token of love's embrace,
A cloud-crowned king upon a head of grace.
Halt, traveler, of tears take heed,
Halt, traveler, of tears take heed,
Offer them now, a sacred deed,
Upon the cloud-crowned king.

Ah, Shah Jahan, your mournful sighs,
Have left this mark where love now lies.
You conquered death, a love's domain,
To build a kingdom here, where love would reign.
Taj Mahal, my Taj,
Taj Mahal, my Taj.

Where is Mumtaz, love's queen so fair,
Pride of her beloved's care?
Remembered, wept, a land's lament,
Remembered, wept, a land's lament,
India's heart, its love now spent.
Tears now flow, the Jamuna cries,
Jamuna, Jamuna.
Jasmine and blooms, their weeping sighs,
Jasmine, Jasmine, Jasmine.
Jasmine and blooms, their weeping sighs.
The lamp of the gathering now grows dim,
The instruments of music, they now lie.
Taj Mahal, my Taj,
Taj Mahal, my Taj.
