pyasi machuriya se tadape jawani, tadape jawani
burasi ki aag wo chhapara ka pani, chhapara ka pani
kahi na kadam dagmagaye mere
kahi na kadam dagmagaye mere
aa godi mein mujhako uathaai le
aa dil ke, aa dil ke, aa dil ke
kua maa dubaki lagai le
kuaa ma, kua ma tu dubaki lagai le
aa dil ke kua maa dubaki lagai le
aa dil ke kua maa dubaki lagai le

chali baandh ke ghungaru ghar se kachehari
badan mein pade chhale mohe dupehari
chali bandh ke ghungaru ghar se kachehari
badan mein pade chhale mohe dupehari
aangutha se kaise daroga hatheli
chede hai mua samjhake aakeli
koyala se manjan bani jal ke rani bani jal ki rani
burasi ki aag wo chhapara ka pani, chhapara ka pani
kahi na kadam dag magaye mere
kahi na kadam dag magaye mere
aa godi mein mujhko uathai le
aa dil ke, aa dil ke, aa dil ke
kua maa dubaki lagai le
kua ma, kuaa ma tu dubaki lagai le
aa dil ke kua maa dubaki lagai le
aa dil ke kua maa dubaki lagai le

juban pe rakhe hai wo mujhko namak sa
kamar se uthe hai sharara chamka sa
juban pe rakhe hai wo mujhko namak sa
kamar se uthe hai sharara chamka sa
fuwara pe so ke kare wo chirori
jaga raat aadhi sune moh se lori
haay ukhari mein gehu main banake kutani
banake kutani
burasi ki aag wo chhapara ka pani, chhapara ka pani
kahi na kadam dag magaye mere
kahi na kadam dag magaye mere
aa godi mein mujhako uathai le
aa dil ke, aa dil ke, aa dil ke
kuaa maa dubaki lagaai le
kuaa ma, kuaa ma tu dubaki lagai le
aa dil ke kua maa dubaki lagai le
aa dil ke kua maa dubaki lagai le
dubaki lagaai le
aa dil ke, aa dil ke, aa dil ke
aa dil ke kuaa maa lagai le

The thirst of youth, a fish gasping, gasping
A fire of a burnt pyre, the waters of Chhapra, waters of Chhapra
Never let my feet falter
Never let my feet falter
Come, lift me in your lap
Come to the heart, to the heart, to the heart
Take a dive in the well
In the well, in the well, you take a dive
Come, dive in the heart's well
Come, dive in the heart's well

With anklets, I left home for the court
Blisters bloom on my body in the noon's heat
With anklets, I left home for the court
Blisters bloom on my body in the noon's heat
The thumb caresses the officer's palm
He teases, thinking me alone
Like coal, the paste, a queen of water, of water
A fire of a burnt pyre, the waters of Chhapra, waters of Chhapra
Never let my feet falter
Never let my feet falter
Come, lift me in your lap
Come to the heart, to the heart, to the heart
Take a dive in the well
In the well, in the well, you take a dive
Come, dive in the heart's well
Come, dive in the heart's well

He holds me on his tongue like salt
From my waist, a spark, a shimmer
He holds me on his tongue like salt
From my waist, a spark, a shimmer
He sleeps on the fountain, begs
Awake at midnight, listens to my lullaby
I am the wheat, ground in the mortar, ground
A fire of a burnt pyre, the waters of Chhapra, waters of Chhapra
Never let my feet falter
Never let my feet falter
Come, lift me in your lap
Come to the heart, to the heart, to the heart
Take a dive in the well
In the well, in the well, you take a dive
Come, dive in the heart's well
Come, dive in the heart's well
Take a dive
Come to the heart, to the heart, to the heart
Come, dive in the heart's well
