tu ladka hai londan ka mai ladki hindustani
tu ladka hai londan ka mai ladki hindustani
teri meri nahi banegi koi prem kahani ja
dilbar jani ja ja dilbar jani oye
ja dilbar jani haye rup ki rani
mai ladka hu londan ka oye tu sun ladki diwani haye
mai ladka hu londan ka tu sun ladki diwani
chir ke sina dekh le mera dil hai hindustani
rup ki rani haye rup ki rani
rup ki rani ja ja dilbar jani

dur desh se aaya hu pyar bhara dil laya hu
dur desh se aaya hu pyar bhara dil laya hu

rup ki rani ja ja dilbar jani
tu ladka hai londan ka mai ladki hindustani
teri meri nahi banegi koi prem kahani ja

tu chadata suraj hai babusham hui dhal jayega
tu chadata suraj hai babu sham huyi dhal jayega
phulo ka ras pike bhawara chupke se ud jayega
mujhe samjh na pyare mujhe samjh na pyare
bholi bhali mai hu sabki nani
ja dilbar jani ja dilbar jani arey ja ja ja ja jani

mai ladka hu londan ka tu sun ladki diwani
chir ke sina dekh le mera dil hai hindustani
rup ki rani haye rup ki rani

mere hath me ek rekha hai jis pe tera naam likha hai
mere hath me ek rekha hai jis pe tera naam likha hai
lekin mere dil pe to bas shyam ka naam likha hai
shyam ka naam likha hai radha shyam, radha shyam se badkar
hogi apni prem kahani rup ki rani haye rup ki rani
ja dilbar jani ja ja dilbar jani rup ki rani haye haye rup ki rani

You, a son of London's fog, I, a daughter of Hindustan's light,
Our paths, they weave no tale of love, no shared, sweet night.
Beloved, depart, depart, beloved, flee,
Oh, beauty's queen, depart from me.
I, a London lad, hear me, mad girl, heed,
I, a London lad, your heart's desire, indeed.
But rend my chest, and see my soul, Hindustan's core,
Beauty's queen, oh, beauty's queen, forevermore.
Beauty's queen, depart, depart, beloved, go.

From distant lands, I came, a heart brimming with love's art,
From distant lands, a yearning heart, with love's own start.
To make you, bride, my own, my wife,
A dream, a hope, in all my life.
Oh, moonlit face, refuse no more,
Beauty's queen, beauty's queen, explore.
Beauty's queen, depart, depart, beloved, go.
You, a son of London's fog, I, a daughter of Hindustan's light,
Our paths, they weave no tale of love, no shared, sweet night.
Beloved, depart, depart, beloved, flee.

You, the rising sun, my love, at dusk will fade away,
You, the rising sun, my love, as twilight steals the day.
The bee, its nectar drunk, will fly, unseen, alone,
The bee, its nectar drunk, will fly and then be gone.
Misunderstand me, dear, mistake me not, I plead,
The world calls me grandmother, for all I need,
Depart, beloved, depart, beloved, flee,
Oh, beauty's queen, depart from me.
I, a London lad, hear me, mad girl, heed,
But rend my chest, and see my soul, Hindustan's core,
Beauty's queen, oh, beauty's queen, forevermore.

In my hand, a line, your name, it does entwine,
In my hand, a line, your name, it does combine.
But on my heart, Krishna's name, divine,
But on my heart, Radha-Krishna, forever mine,
A love surpassing all, a love so grand,
Beauty's queen, oh, beauty's queen, across the land.
Depart, beloved, depart, beloved, flee,
Beauty's queen, oh, beauty's queen, eternally.
