sajan sang kaahe nehaa lagaaye
nehaa lagaaye ke ham pachhtaaye
aur jahaan muskuraaye
jahaan muskuraaye
sajan sang kaahe neha lagaaye

nisdin sataaye saiya mujhko jalaaye saiya
bairi sautaniya ko garba lagaaye saiya
ho ji ho ho ho ho, dukhada naa jaane
dukhada na jaane naa jaane rasiya chhaliya ho
sajan sang kaahe nehaa lagaaye
nehaa lagaaye ke ham pachhtaaye
aur jahaan muskuraaye
jahaan muskuraaye
sajan sang kaahe neha lagaaye

natkhat rangeela aisaa
laage kanhaiya jaisa
batiyon se apna karle
man ko rijhaaye aisa
aji ho ho ho ho, kitna manaaya
kitna manaaya na maane batiyaan batiyaan ho
sajan sang kaahe neha lagaaye
neha lagaaye ki ham pachhtaaye
aur jahaan muskuraaye
jahaan muskuraaye
sajan sang kaahe nehaa lagaaye

Why did I seek love's embrace?
Embrace of love, a shadowed space.
And where he smiles,
Where he smiles,
Why did I seek love's embrace?

Night and day, he torments me, burns me, this love.
The rival’s laughter, a cruel dove.
Oh, he knows not my pain,
Knows not, this rogue, this trickster's game.
Why did I seek love's embrace?
Embrace of love, a shadowed space.
And where he smiles,
Where he smiles,
Why did I seek love's embrace?

Mischievous, vibrant, a sight,
Resembling a Krishna of light.
With words he captures,
Captures the heart's delight.
Oh, I have pleaded enough,
Pleading, he won't heed, not a word of love.
Why did I seek love's embrace?
Embrace of love, a shadowed space.
And where he smiles,
Where he smiles,
Why did I seek love's embrace?
