bijali chamki baadal garje
thar thar kaanpe dar se
pawan jhukaale hay manawaa
rimjhim saawan barse
maharaja kiwadiyaa khol ras ki bunde padengi
maharaja kiwadiyaa khol ras ki bunde padengi
maharaja kiwadiyaa khol ras ki bunde padengi

gahri barsaat hai aur chaand sitaare na rahe
raat kat jaati thi jinse vo najaare na rahe
aaj rakh do meri aankho se mohabbat jara
warna ye kah do ki ham ab se tumhaare na rahe
maharaja kiwadiyaa khol ras ki bunde padengi
maharaja kiwadiyaa khol ras ki bunde padengi
maharaja kiwadiyaa khol ras ki bunde padengi
maharaja

aap aaye mere ghar khul gayi kismat meri
fir bhi ghabraati hai kyu jaane tabiyat meri
maine duniyaa ki nigaahon se bachaaya hai ye dil
lut lena na kahi aaj ye daulat meri
maharaja kiwadiyaa khol ras ki bunde padengi
maharaja kiwadiyaa khol ras ki bunde padengi
maharaja kiwadiyaa khol ras ki bunde padengi
maharaja kiwadiyaa re maharaja kiwadiyaa re
maharaja kiwadiyaa re maharaja kiwadiyaa re
maharaja kiwadiyaa khol ras ki bunde padengi
maharaja kiwadiyaa khol ras ki bunde padengi
maharaja

Lightning flares, the thunder groans,
Tremors seize, fear moans.
The wind bows low, oh, my heart,
While summer's drizzle starts.
O King, unlock the doors, let nectar fall,
O King, unlock the doors, let nectar fall,
O King, unlock the doors, let nectar fall,
O King.

A tempest deep, moon and stars now gone,
The sights that once made the night withdrawn.
Now, hold my love back from my eyes a while,
Or say we're not yours now, in any style.
O King, unlock the doors, let nectar fall,
O King, unlock the doors, let nectar fall,
O King, unlock the doors, let nectar fall,
O King.

You came to my home, my fate unfurled,
Still, why does my spirit flee from the world?
I guarded this heart from the world's keen gaze,
Don't let my treasure be stolen in these days.
O King, unlock the doors, let nectar fall,
O King, unlock the doors, let nectar fall,
O King, unlock the doors, let nectar fall,
O King, open the doors, O King, open the doors,
O King, open the doors, O King, open the doors,
O King, unlock the doors, let nectar fall,
O King, unlock the doors, let nectar fall,
O King.
