kesariyaa hai roop mharo
cham chamave re
paiya mein ghunghru nyaro
chham chhamave re
aakhin mein to prem tharo
jhilmilave re
o mhari banno na chhedo na

chhoda chhodo re mharo ye palla
chhoda chhodo re mharo ye palla
mhare se yun na maango re chhalla
sari dekhe nagariyan sunle sanwariyan
main na kholungi re ghunghta
kesariyaa hai roop mharo
cham chamave re
paiya mein ghunghru nyaro
chham chhamave re
aakhin mein to prem tharo
jhilmilave re
o mhari banno na chhedo na

kaahe panghat pe tu pichhe aave
kaahe panghat pe tu pichhe aave
kaahe matki nishana banave
na tu kar hoshiyari
de dungi gaari
hone deve tu kyun jhatka
kesariyaa hai roop mharo
cham chamave re
paiya mein ghunghru nyaro
chham chhamave re
aakhin mein to prem tharo
jhilmilave re
o mhari banno na chhedo na

bada chhal baliya re mharo rasiya
dekho pahan liyo jali wala kurta
to khub saja khid khid ke hansa
jhat tham liya phir hath mera
ghum ghum nachan laaga
kya khub josh mein jaga
gira long kidhar kahi bala gira
ang ang matwara bhya
hum bhaanp gayo man kaanp gayo
tu nachak nachak haanp gayo
jhat seene se phir liptaay liyo
aur apne aap mein samay liyo

o kahe aankhaa mein aankhaa tu daare nihare
na chhedo na
kesariyaa hai roop mharo
cham chamave re
paiya mein ghunghru nyaro
chham chhamave re
aakhin mein to prem tharo
jhilmilave re
o mhari banno na chhedo na

kesariyaa hai roop mharo
cham chamave re
paiya mein ghunghru nyaro
chham chhamave re
aakhin mein to prem tharo
jhilmilave re
o mhari banno na chhedo na
kesariyaa hai roop mharo
cham chamave re
paiya mein ghunghru nyaro
chham chhamave re
aakhin mein to prem tharo
jhilmilave re
o mhari banno na chhedo na
kesariyaa hai roop mharo
paiya mein ghunghru nyaro
aakhin mein to prem tharo
jhilmilave re
o mhari banno na chhedo na

My saffron guise, it gleams and glows,
My dancing feet, where music flows.
Within my eyes, your love does gleam,
Oh, do not tease me, do not dream.

Release my shawl, let it be,
Do not seek the ring from me.
All the town now watches, hear the call,
I will not lift my veil at all.
My saffron guise, it gleams and glows,
My dancing feet, where music flows,
Within my eyes, your love does gleam,
Oh, do not tease me, do not dream.

Why follow me to the waterside,
Why aim your gaze where secrets hide?
Do not try your clever games,
Or you'll hear my fiery flames.
My saffron guise, it gleams and glows,
My dancing feet, where music flows,
Within my eyes, your love does gleam,
Oh, do not tease me, do not dream.

A cunning rogue, my love's embrace,
See, he wears a veiled lace.
He smiled and laughed, with a joyful sound,
Then swiftly, my hand he bound.
Then, with a whirl, he made me spin,
In a frenzy, where we begin,
He dropped a clove, there on the ground.
My body trembled, my mind unbound.
You danced and danced, until out of breath,
He held me close, to conquer death,
And then, within himself, I found.

Oh, why your eyes meet mine with fire?
Do not tease me, do not desire.
My saffron guise, it gleams and glows,
My dancing feet, where music flows,
Within my eyes, your love does gleam,
Oh, do not tease me, do not dream.

My saffron guise, it gleams and glows,
My dancing feet, where music flows.
Within my eyes, your love does gleam,
Oh, do not tease me, do not dream.
My saffron guise, it gleams and glows,
My dancing feet, where music flows,
Within my eyes, your love does gleam,
Oh, do not tease me, do not dream.
My saffron guise,
My dancing feet,
Within my eyes, your love does gleam,
Oh, do not tease me, do not dream.
