kaho kaho na kaho na aise batiya ho
kaho kaho na kaho na aise batiya
o re pardesi kalkatiya
kaho kaho na kaho na aise batiya
o re pardesi kalkatiya
o sun more raaja jara sa paas aaja
kaate kate na ratiya
atriya pe aa jaana, piritiya nibha jaana
atriya pe aa jaana, piritiya nibha jaana

ankh mori pharak rahi, ki chunariya sarak rahi
ankh mori pharak rahi, ki chunariya sarak rahi
jawaani ke chulhe pe umiriyan ubal rahi
jhalkiyaan dikha ja lagi ko tu bujha ja
kaate kate na ratiya
kamariya hila jaana, jobanva khila jaana
kamariya hila jaana, jobanva khila jaana

chandaniya chehak rahi ki nas nas lehak rahi
chandaniya chehak rahi ki nas nas lehak rahi
sejaniya dehak rahi, dagariya mehek rahi
anganava mein aaja jinekiya saja ja
kaate kate na ratiya
bajariya pe aa jaana, ke ? dila jaana
bajariya pe aa jaana, ke ? dila jaana

kaho kaho na kaho na aise batiya
o re pardesi kalkatiya
kaho kaho na kaho na aise batiya
o re pardesi kalkatiya
o sun more raaja jara sa paas aaja
kaate kate na ratiya
atriya pe aa jaana, piritiya nibha jaana
atriya pe aa jaana, piritiya nibha jaana

Whispers unspoken, the secrets we keep,
Whispers unspoken, the secrets we keep,
Oh, stranger from lands so far and deep,
Whispers unspoken, the secrets we keep,
Oh, stranger from lands so far and deep,
My king, draw near, let your presence sweep,
The lonely hours, where shadows creep.
Come to my balcony, a love to bestow,
Come to my balcony, a love to bestow.

My eyes now flutter, my veil starts to slide,
My eyes now flutter, my veil starts to slide,
Upon the furnace of youth, my years collide,
A glimpse, a spark, let passion subside,
The lonely hours, where shadows creep.
Twirl your waist, where blossoms reside,
Twirl your waist, where blossoms reside.

The moonbeams laugh, through veins they ignite,
The moonbeams laugh, through veins they ignite,
My beloved burns, the path takes flight,
Come to my courtyard, and life we write,
The lonely hours, where shadows creep.
Come to the market, and give your delight,
Come to the market, and give your delight.

Whispers unspoken, the secrets we keep,
Oh, stranger from lands so far and deep,
Whispers unspoken, the secrets we keep,
Oh, stranger from lands so far and deep,
My king, draw near, let your presence sweep,
The lonely hours, where shadows creep.
Come to my balcony, a love to bestow,
Come to my balcony, a love to bestow.
