jhananan jhananan baje mori jhanan
jhananan jhananan baje mori jhanan
itni si baat haye samjhe na sajan
itni si baat haye samjhe na sajan
jhananan jhananan baje mori jhanan
jhananan jhananan baje mori jhanan

mast pawan mori chunari udaye
o chunari udaye mori chunari udaye mori
zulfo se khele kabhi muh chum jaaye
mera muh chum jaaye
dhak dhak more jee ki dhak dhak more jee ki
dhadkan more jee ki jaane na jaaye
jhananan jhananan baje mori jhanan
jhananan jhananan baje mori jhanan
itni si baat haye samjhe na sajan
itni si baat haye samjhe na sajan
jhananan jhananan baje mori jhanan
jhananan jhananan baje mori jhanan

jaise koi badali taire hawaoon me
udti firu mai aise sapno ke gaanw me
udti firu mai aise sapno ke gaanw me
dekh jawani haye ram haye ram
haye dekhe jawani kahi chup gaya bachpan
jhananan jhananan baje mori jhanan
jhananan jhananan baje mori jhanan
itni si baat haye samjhe na sajan
itni si baat haye samjhe na sajan
jhananan jhananan baje mori jhanan
jhananan jhananan baje mori jhanan

The anklets chime, a tinkling stream,
The anklets chime, a waking dream.
This simple truth, alas, unseen,
This simple truth, my love, between.
The anklets chime, a tinkling stream,
The anklets chime, a waking dream.

Wild wind, it steals my veil's embrace,
My veil it steals, in playful chase,
With my tresses, a whispered space,
A kiss it steals upon my face,
My heart beats fast, a frantic pace,
My heart's deep beat, it cannot trace.
The anklets chime, a tinkling stream,
The anklets chime, a waking dream.
This simple truth, alas, unseen,
This simple truth, my love, between.
The anklets chime, a tinkling stream,
The anklets chime, a waking dream.

As a cloud adrift in the air's sway,
I fly through dreams, where visions play,
Through dreams I fly, come what may,
Youth's dawn I see, alas, astray,
Youth's dawn I see, where childhood's day,
Has vanished now and slipped away.
The anklets chime, a tinkling stream,
The anklets chime, a waking dream.
This simple truth, alas, unseen,
This simple truth, my love, between.
The anklets chime, a tinkling stream,
The anklets chime, a waking dream.
