mera chaila babu aaya albela babu aaya
mera chaila babu aaya albela babu aaya
bijli si kali lahrai ek roshni dil ki lai
bijli si kali lahrai ek roshni dil ki lai
koi or samhj na paya mera chail babu aaya

gunje payal ke magme ke tane
bikhri sanso ki khusbu hawale
wo samne aaya jab aane wala
aa maine sarmake aachal sambhala
hui najro me bat chup gaye dil me
mera chaila babu aaya albela babu aaya
bijli si kali lahrai ek roshni dil ki lai
koi or samhj na paya mera chail babu aaya
albela babu aaya

rang chehre ka nikhra hua hai
husn mera dubaniya chala hai
bahke bahke hai andaz dil ke
ha khul na jaye raz dil ke ye nahi bas ki bat
unse najre chupau lakh mukhda chupau
mera chaila babu aaya albela babu aaya
bijli si kali lahrai ek roshni dil ki lai
koi or samhj na paya mera chail babu aaya
albela babu aaya

rate rangin din ho suhane jane kab aayenge wo jamane
ha phul se rasto me khilenge aaj hum mohabbat se dono milenge
hogi kitni hasi aane wali bahar muskurayega pyar
mera chaila babu aaya albela babu aaya
mera chaila babu aaya albela babu aaya
bijli si kali lahrai ek roshni dil ki lai
bijli si kali lahrai ek roshni dil ki lai
koi or samhj na paya mera chail babu aaya

My darling boy has come, my charming boy has come.
My darling boy has come, my charming boy has come.
Like lightning, a bud unfurls, a light ignites the soul.
Like lightning, a bud unfurls, a light ignites the soul.
None other understands, my darling boy has come.

The anklets’ melodies resound, their tunes unfold.
Scents of breath, a whispered tale, the story told.
He, the awaited one, has come to me at last,
I, shy, my veil did grasp.
Eyes met, secrets kept, the heart concealed,
My darling boy has come, my charming boy revealed.
Like lightning, a bud unfurls, a light ignites the soul.
None other understands, my darling boy has come.
My charming boy has come.

My face now blooms, a radiant hue,
My beauty, it now walks the world anew.
My heart’s ways, they now take flight,
Oh, lest my heart’s secret be brought to light,
It’s not so easy to hide.
From him, I try to hide my gaze, my face conceal,
My darling boy has come, my charming boy revealed.
Like lightning, a bud unfurls, a light ignites the soul.
None other understands, my darling boy has come.
My charming boy has come.

When will those days arrive, painted nights and bright,
When flowers bloom on paths, in vibrant light?
Today, with love, our souls will intertwine,
How joyous the dawn, when love will shine.
My darling boy has come, my charming boy has come.
My darling boy has come, my charming boy has come.
Like lightning, a bud unfurls, a light ignites the soul.
Like lightning, a bud unfurls, a light ignites the soul.
None other understands, my darling boy has come.
