mujhe mushkil mein mujhe mushkil mein
daale meri payal
mujhe mushkil mein daale meri payal
mujhe mushkil mein daale meri payal
mujhe mushkil mein daale meri payal

ho naacho jab bhi mein ang ang dole
meri payaliya sang sang bole
naacho jab bhi mein ang ang dole
meri payaliya sang sang bole
jisne bhi jisne bhi suna wo ghayal
mujhe mushkil mein daale meri payal
mujhe mushkil mein daale meri payal
mujhe mushkil mein daale meri payal

fagun gaweye sawan nachaye
fagun gaweye sawan nachaye
nachu to payal halchal machaye halchal machaye
duniya mere duniya mere pichhe bane pagal
mujhe mushkil mein daale meri payal
mujhe mushkil mein daale meri payal
mujhe mushkil mein daale meri payal
mujhse jo puchho ghar kaha mera
??mera basera mera basera

My anklets, a torment, a trial,
My anklets, a hardship, a guile.
My anklets, a burden, a wail,
My anklets, my sorrow, my frail.

When I dance, each limb starts to sway,
My anklets sing in their own way.
When I dance, each limb starts to sway,
My anklets sing, come what may.
Whoever hears, they fall and they fail,
My anklets, a torment, a trail.
My anklets, a burden, a bale,
My anklets, my sorrow, a scale.

Spring sings, the monsoon's dance calls,
Spring sings, the monsoon enthralls.
If I dance, my anklets cause a stir, a sprawl,
The world, behind, begins to crawl.
My anklets, a torment, a call,
My anklets, a sorrow, a wall.
My anklets, a hardship, the thrall.

If you ask where my home resides,
My abode, my haven, it hides...
