o
main hu rup ki rani
main hu rup ki rani
o sajni jadu hai meri jawani

main hu punam ki chandni
main hu deepak ki ragini
main hu punam ki chandni
main hu deepak ki ragini
jal jate mujh par parwane, aa
rahti rakh nishani
o sajni jadu hai meri jawani

aa ha
piya gaye bujhane pyas re
haye kaisi jhuthi aas re
chand chhod rijhe taare par, aa
ye kaisi nadani
ho sajni main hu rup ki rani

O,
I am the queen of beauty,
I am the queen of beauty,
O friend, my youth is magic.

I am the moon's silver glow,
I am the lamp's melody,
I am the moon's silver glow,
I am the lamp's melody,
The moths burn for me, ah,
Leaving only ash as memory.
O friend, my youth is magic.

Ah, ha!
Beloved went to quench thirst,
Alas, what a false hope!
The moon is forsaken for stars, ah,
What foolishness this be!
O friend, I am the queen of beauty.
