hasino mujhase math puchho
ke kyaa kyaa bechataa hun mai
chhupaakar chudiyo me
dil ki duniyaa bechataa hun mai

yaad rakhana pyaar ki nishani gori yaad rakhana
yaad rakhana pyaar ki nishani gori yaad rakhana
aabad rakhana dil paradesi ka abaad rakhana

kaisi gori gori reshami kalaai re
tere haath paradesiyaa aai re
nazar lalachaai re haan haan ji man bhaai re
nazar lalachaai re haan haan ji man bhaai re
leke haath ye chhod na denaa mukh mod na
ke dil meraa shaad rakhanaa
yaad rakhanaa pyaar ki nishaani gori rakhanaa

aabaad rakhanaa dil paradesi kaa abaad rakhanaa
mai to man kaa darapan tod ke
laayaa dil ke tukade jod ke
saare jag se hai dekho niraalaa
ragilaa chudivaalaa ragilaa chudivaalaa
o saare jag se hai dekho niralaa
ragilaa chudivaalaa todegaa dil kaa taalaa

Ask not, fair maiden, what I trade,
What offerings I humbly lay.
Concealed in bangles, subtly made,
I sell the world, the heart's own way.

Remember love's sweet, tender sign,
Remember, fair one, ever true.
Tend well this heart, a land of thine,
And cherish it, my love, for you.

How fair, how silken is your wrist,
Upon which a stranger's fate now lies.
My gaze is caught, my soul is kissed,
My very heart, before your eyes.
Embrace this hand, then do not stray,
Nor turn away from my despair.
Keep my heart glad in every way,
Remember love's sweet bond to share.

Tend well this heart, a land of thine,
And cherish it, my love, for you.
I shattered mirrors, once divine,
And pieced my broken heart anew.
From all the world, a sight so bright,
A colorful bangle-seller, I.
From all the world, a wondrous light,
To break the lock where sorrows lie.
