hey tirchi najariya gore gaal aur julfe teri kaali kaali
o chori nakhrali hey tirchi najariya gore gaal
aur julfe teri kaali kaali o chori nakhrali
lahanga to ghotedar hai meri choli bhi jaipur wali
mai chori nakhrali

aa paas aa gori ghunghta utha ke
ankhiya lada haule haule
na baba na meri ankhiya nigodi
har bhed dil ka ye khole
o teri julf ki lat lat pe mera man dhole
ari mai to kaali ek dal ki tu hai panchi ude dali dali
chori nakhrali hey tirchi najariya gore gaal
aur julfe teri kaali kaali o chori nakhrali

chanda ki bindiya sitaro ki baali
aa tujhko pehna du mai haye rama tu chahta hai
ke tujhko is dil ka gehna du mai
aaja rang tere hotho ka chura lu mai
piche palat hat ja hata mat chehre se lat ghunghrali
o chori nakhrali haye tirchi najariya gore gaal
aur julfe teri kaali kaali o chori nakhrali
lahanga to ghotedar hai meri choli bhi jaipur wali
mai chori nakhrali

Your gaze, a slant of light, cheeks kissed by dawn,
And tresses, midnight, where the shadows spawn.
Oh, maiden, coy, your elegance defined,
A glance, fair cheeks, the dark hair intertwined.
Your skirt, of woven gold, my blouse, Jaipur's art,
A playful girl, a captivating heart.

Come closer, fair one, lift the veil with grace,
Let eyes converse, in time, within this space.
No, no, my eyes, those fickle, restless things,
Reveal the secrets that my spirit sings.
Upon each strand of hair, my soul takes flight,
I, a bud on one stem, you, a bird in light.
Oh, maiden coy, your elegance defined,
A glance, fair cheeks, the dark hair intertwined.

The moon's bright dot, the stars that softly gleam,
Let me adorn you, love, within my dream.
You wish to wear this heart, a jeweled prize,
Come, steal the color from your lips, your eyes.
Turn back, draw back, from these curls that softly play,
Oh, maiden coy, your elegance defined,
A glance, fair cheeks, the dark hair intertwined.
Your skirt, of woven gold, my blouse, Jaipur's art,
A playful girl, a captivating heart.
