sajani god bharaye odh chunariya lali
fut rahi koi konpal ang ang ki dali

jam jam ke nach babuaa babuaa re
jam jam ke nach babuaa babuaa
sajan ji ke ghar me, dol rahi sajaniya
hath me khanke kangna, pair baje paijaniya
jhan jhan jhan jhanak babauaa babuaa re
jam jam ke nach babuaa babuaa
jam jam ke nach babuaa babuaa re
jam jam ke nach babuaa babuaa

saaval tori najuk najuk
dharke chali payiyan babuaa
dekho re pag me thes na lage
thame raho bahiya babuaa
niche unche aangan me
jab gori chale chham chham
dholak kahe najuk badan
bole manjira tham tham
chhute na sath babuaa babuaa re
jhan jhan jhan jhanak babauaa babuaa re
sajan ji ke gharme, dol rahi sajaniya
hath me khanke kangna, par baje paijaniya
jhan jhan jhan jhanak babauaa babuaa re
jam jam ke nach babuaa babuaa

mukh ke rang se laal hain ghunghta
laal bhayo anchra
o o o o mathe pe bindiya muskaye to
nain hanse kajara babuaa
aangan se palnga ke upar
albeli jab aye
rag tarane gaye sarangi, chhed rahi shahnai
thumri thamak babuaa babuaa re
jhan jhan jhan jhanak babauaa babuaa re
o sajan ji ke gharme, dol rahi sajaniya
hath me khanke kangna, par baje paijaniya
jhan jhan jhan jhanak babauaa babuaa re
jam jam ke nach babuaa babuaa

Beloved, her lap blooms, a crimson veil,
Each limb, a tender bud, begins to unveil.

Dance, dear child, dance with all your might,
Dance, dear child, dance into the light.
In the home of love, she gently sways,
Bracelets chime, anklets play,
Cling-clang-clang, dear child, dance along,
Dance, dear child, dance to the song.
Dance, dear child, dance with all your might,
Dance, dear child, dance into the light.

Her dark grace, so fragile, so fine,
Step softly, precious child of mine,
Lest a stumble bruise those tender feet,
Hold her close, for the world's bittersweet.
In the uneven courtyard's gleam,
As she dances, a whispering dream,
The drum murmurs, "A delicate frame,"
Cymbals sigh, "Hold, and yet, reclaim."
Never let go, dear child, of her embrace,
Cling-clang-clang, dear child, find your place.
In the home of love, she gently sways,
Bracelets chime, anklets play,
Cling-clang-clang, dear child, dance along,
Dance, dear child, dance to the song.

The face, a flush, a crimson disguise,
Her veil ablaze, a fiery sunrise.
O, o, o, on her brow, a smiling star,
Eyes that laugh, dark kohl afar,
From the courtyard to the bridal bed,
The maiden comes, her spirit led.
The Sarangi sings, the shehnai calls,
A love story, embracing all.
A joyous beat, dear child, find your glee,
Cling-clang-clang, dear child, eternally.
In the home of love, she gently sways,
Bracelets chime, anklets play,
Cling-clang-clang, dear child, dance along,
Dance, dear child, dance to the song.
