chandan ki naiyyaa pe ho ke savaar gori
karke singar dekho chali us paar
dekho chali us paar
chandan ki naiyyaa pe ho ke savaar gori
karke singar dekho chali us paar
dekho chali us paar chandan ki naiyyaa pe

dil me umang liye, ankhiyo me rang liye
nainaa jhukaaye chali hai kahaan
haatho me haar le ke, naino me pyaar le ke
gori ke saajan khade hai jahaan
gori ke saajan khade hai jahaan
apane balamvaa ki sun ke pukaar gori
karke singar dekho chali us paar
dekho chali us paar chandan ki naiyyaa pe
ho ke savaar gori
karke singar dekho chali us paar
dekho chali us paar chandan ki naiyyaa pe

sapano me khoyi khoyi, din ko bhi soyi soyi
raaz na dil kaa bataae sakhi
jiyaa majbur huaa, kuchh to zarur huaa
kaahe ko ham se chhupaae sakhi
kaahe ko ham se chhupaae sakhi
nainaa bhi dur kahi ho gaye chaar gori
karke singar dekho chali us paar
dekho chali us paar chandan ki naiyyaa pe
ho ke savaar gori
karke singar dekho chali us paar
dekho chali us paar chandan ki naiyyaa pe

dur nagar pi kaa, haal buraa ji kaa
rah-rah ke shor machaaye jiyaa
dur nagar pi kaa, haal buraa ji kaa
rah-rah ke shor machaaye jiyaa
khel nirala khelaa, dil me lagaayaa melaa
pachhatae ab gori yah kyaa kiyaa
pachhatae ab gori yah kyaa kiyaa
hansi-hansi me kaisi ho gayi haar gori
karke singar dekho chali us paar
dekho chali us paar chandan ki naiyyaa pe
ho ke savaar gori
karke singar dekho chali us paar
dekho chali us paar chandan ki naiyyaa pe

Upon a sandalwood barge, she did embark, fair maid,
Adorned and made lovely, to yonder shore she swayed.
To yonder shore she swayed.
Upon a sandalwood barge, she did embark, fair maid,
Adorned and made lovely, to yonder shore she swayed.
To yonder shore she swayed, upon the barge of sandalwood.

With joy in her heart, hues dancing in her gaze,
Her eyes demurely cast, where does she now make her ways?
With garlands in hand, and love within her eyes,
Her beloved awaits, where his presence now lies.
Her beloved awaits, where his presence now lies.
Heeding her lover's call, fair maid,
Adorned and made lovely, to yonder shore she swayed.
To yonder shore she swayed, upon the barge of sandalwood.
Embarking, fair maid,
Adorned and made lovely, to yonder shore she swayed.
To yonder shore she swayed, upon the barge of sandalwood.

Lost in dreams she wandered, sleeping through the day,
Secrets of her heart, to her friend she'd not convey.
Her heart compelled, something surely had begun,
Why hide from us, dear friend, what has been spun?
Why hide from us, dear friend, what has been spun?
Four eyes now distant, fair maid,
Adorned and made lovely, to yonder shore she swayed.
To yonder shore she swayed, upon the barge of sandalwood.
Embarking, fair maid,
Adorned and made lovely, to yonder shore she swayed.
To yonder shore she swayed, upon the barge of sandalwood.

Far is her lover's town, and her heart is sore,
Her spirit cries aloud, forevermore.
Far is her lover's town, and her heart is sore,
Her spirit cries aloud, forevermore.
A game was played, a fair was set within her breast,
Regrets now flow, fair maid, this act, now what's the test?
Regrets now flow, fair maid, this act, now what's the test?
In laughter, a loss she met, fair maid,
Adorned and made lovely, to yonder shore she swayed.
To yonder shore she swayed, upon the barge of sandalwood.
Embarking, fair maid,
Adorned and made lovely, to yonder shore she swayed.
To yonder shore she swayed, upon the barge of sandalwood.
