rani kahe ke gudiya kahe
aasha kahe ke sapna kahe
kya rakhe tera naam
o kya rakhe tera naam
pukare tujhe, pukare tujhe
kya kah ke
rani kahe ke gudiya kahe
asha kahe ke sapna kahe

zindagi ka har lamha
maut ki amaanat hai
yahi to sacchai hai
yahi to hakikat hai
kudrat ka hai khel azib
kudrat ka hai khel azib
rahne nahi deti apno ko karib
apno ko karib

babul ne tere rani abhi tak
dekha nahi tera mukhda
chanda ke jaisa babul hai tera
chanda ka tu hai tukda
chanda ka tu hai tukda
juhi kahe ke bela kahe
khushbu kahe ke phulwa kahe
kya rakhe tera naam
o kya rakhe tera naam
pukare tujhe, pukare tujhe
kya kah ke
rani kahe ki gudiya kahe
asha kahe ke sapna kahe

o sathiya, laut bhi aa
khushiya adhuri meri tere bina
tarse huo ko mukhda dikha
har koi dekhe yaha rasta tera
jism jal jata hai, rakh rah jati hai
bahte hue pani me wo bhi bah jati hai
mehakte rahte hai yado ke phul
mehakte rahte hai yado ke phul
jiwan kya hai mutthi bhar dhul
mutthi bhar dhul
kya rakhe tera naam
o kya rakhe tera naam
pukare tujhe, pukare tujhe
kya kah ke
rani kahe ki gudiya kahe
asha kahe ke sapna kahe

dharti pe jab tak bahti hai nadiya
ambar par jab tak sitaare
dharti pe jab tak bahti hai nadiya
ambar par jab tak sitaare
tab tak rahe tu beti suhagan
lab pe duaayen humari
lab pe duaayen humari
anmol mera moti hai tu
deepak sa hi jyoti hai tu
kya rakhe tera naam
o kya rakhe tera naam
pukare tujhe, pukare tujhe
kya kah ke
rani kahe ki gudiya kahe
asha kahe ke sapna kahe
kya rakhe tera naam
o kya rakhe tera naam
pukare tujhe, pukare tujhe
kya kah ke
rani kahe ki gudiya kahe
asha kahe ke sapna kahe

Queen they call you, or a doll so fair?
Hope they whisper, or a dream beyond compare?
What name shall we bestow,
Oh, what name shall we know?
To call to you, to call to you,
What words to share?
Queen they call you, or a doll so fair?
Hope they whisper, or a dream beyond compare?

Each fleeting breath of life,
A trust held by death's hand.
This, the truest truth,
This, the only land.
Nature's game, a curious play,
Keeps us from those we love, come what may,
Keeps us from our own, each day.

Your father, my Queen, has yet to see
Your face, a dawn so bright.
Like the moon, your father's grace,
And you, a moonbeam's light.
Jasmine they'd call you, or a fragrant bloom?
Perfume or flower, dispelling gloom?
What name shall we bestow,
Oh, what name shall we know?
To call to you, to call to you,
What words to share?
Queen they call you, or a doll so fair?
Hope they whisper, or a dream beyond compare?

Oh, beloved, return, I pray,
My joy, unfinished, fades away.
Show your face to those who yearn,
All here await your return.
The body burns, just ashes remain,
In flowing waters, they vanish again.
The flowers of memory, they still impart,
The flowers of memory, they still impart,
What is life? A handful of dust, apart,
A handful of dust, a breaking heart.
What name shall we bestow,
Oh, what name shall we know?
To call to you, to call to you,
What words to share?
Queen they call you, or a doll so fair?
Hope they whisper, or a dream beyond compare?

While rivers flow upon the earth,
And stars still grace the skies above,
May you, my daughter, find your worth,
With prayers of love.
You are my precious pearl,
A light, a burning swirl.
What name shall we bestow,
Oh, what name shall we know?
To call to you, to call to you,
What words to share?
Queen they call you, or a doll so fair?
Hope they whisper, or a dream beyond compare?
What name shall we bestow,
Oh, what name shall we know?
To call to you, to call to you,
What words to share?
Queen they call you, or a doll so fair?
Hope they whisper, or a dream beyond compare?
