jhan jhanan jhanan baje dil ka sitar
jhan jhanan jhanan baje dil ka sitar

ud ud kar mandarye bhawra
phulo ke gun gaye bhawra
ud ud kar mandarye bhawra
phulo ke gun gaye bhawra
ha ha ha kaisi chayi bahar
ha ha ha kaisi chayi bahar
jhan jhanan jhanan baje dil ka sitar
jhan jhanan jhanan baje dil ka sitar

mast hawa ke chalte jhoke
mast hawa ke chalte jhoke
kaliya hasti chupke chupke

choti si bindiya mathe pe chamke
choti si bindiya mathe pe chamke
gale me chandan har gale me chandan har
jhan jhanan jhanan baje dil ka sitar
jhan jhanan jhanan baje dil ka sitar

meri penge sabse nirali
meri penge sabse nirali
jhula jhulu dali dali chayi hai hariyali
jhula jhulu dali dali chayi hai hariyali

Heart's sitar rings, a shimmering sound,
Heart's sitar rings, a shimmering sound,
Dancing, dancing it is,
A butterfly in the wind, the world's sway, profound.
Heart's sitar rings, a shimmering sound,
Heart's sitar rings, a shimmering sound.

The bumblebee takes flight and circles near,
The bumblebee sings the flowers' cheer.
The bumblebee takes flight and circles near,
The bumblebee sings the flowers' cheer.
Oh, what a spring, its touch so clear,
Oh, what a spring, its touch so clear,
Heart's sitar rings, a shimmering sound,
Heart's sitar rings, a shimmering sound.

The wind's gusts, with their joyful stride,
The wind's gusts, with their joyful stride,
Buds are laughing, secrets they hide,
Buds are laughing, secrets they hide,
A tiny jewel on the brow, inside,
A tiny jewel on the brow, inside,
A sandalwood garland at the side,
Heart's sitar rings, a shimmering sound,
Heart's sitar rings, a shimmering sound.

My dance is the most unique, I claim,
