odhani mein chhupi chandani chand naa chhup jaave
ho in rang rasili ankhiyan mein koi aur naa lut jaave
main chamak odhani daal chali
aur lachak morni chaal chali
main chamak odhani daal chali
aur lachak morni chaal chali mhare pichhe pichhe
mhare pichhe pichhe laage re bazariyaan re
uperwale ne yeh kaisi chaal chali
mhare pichhe pichhe laage re bazariyaan re
uperwale ne yeh kaisi chaal chali

koi to bole mhane gud ki dali hun
mane na jane koi manchali hun
koi to bole tujhe gud ki dali hai
mane na jane koi tu manchali hain
koi to bole mhane gud ki dali hun
mane na jane koi manchali hun
mhare charche se mhare charche se
goonje sari gali gali
uperwale ne yeh kaisi chaal chali
tere charche se goonje sari gali gali
uperwale ne yeh kaisi chaal chali

are mor papiha titar bole
mhari chaal par sab jag dole
are mor papiha titar bole
teri chaal par sab jag dole
are mor papiha titar bole
mhari chaal par sab jag dole
mhare hibde main mhare hibde main
laagi haye khalbali
uperwale ne yeh kaisi chaal chali
o mere dil mein bhi mach rahi khalbali
uperwale ne yeh kaisi chaal chali

Beneath the veil, moon's silver gleam, lest the moon hide away,
Lest these eyes, in colors steeped, be plundered by another's sway.
I draped the shimmer of the veil,
And with a peacock's graceful trail,
I draped the shimmer of the veil,
And with a peacock's graceful trail,
Behind me, behind me, the market's whispers chase,
The heavens played this curious game,
Behind me, the market's whispers chase,
The heavens played this curious game.

Some whisper I'm a sugar cube, so sweet,
Yet none perceive my heart's rebellious beat,
Some whisper you're a sugar cube, so sweet,
Yet none perceive your heart's rebellious beat,
Some whisper I'm a sugar cube, so sweet,
Yet none perceive my heart's rebellious beat,
My name, my name, echoes through every street,
The heavens played this curious game,
Your name echoes through every street,
The heavens played this curious game.

The peacock, cuckoo, partridge call,
My every move enthralls all,
The peacock, cuckoo, partridge call,
Your every move enthralls all,
The peacock, cuckoo, partridge call,
My every move enthralls all,
Within my heart, within my heart, a tempest starts to rise,
The heavens played this curious game,
Within my heart, a tempest starts to rise,
The heavens played this curious game.
