mera lal bane mahipal
parja ki shan jagat ka pyara
jiye jug jug raaj dulara
jiye jug jug raaj dulara
mera lal bane mahipal
parja ki shan jagat ka pyara
jiye jug jug raaj dulara
jiye jug jug raaj dulara

mere chand ko chand bana ke to dekho
dekhe aur sharmaye
kajal ka main tilak karu
parbhu kahi najar nahi lag jaye
ye madhur madhur muskaan
luta du paraan ye tan man wara
jiye jug jug raaj dulara
jiye jug jug raaj dulara

kal tak jo baho mein jhula
ab kandho pe jhule o ab kandho pe jhule
mamta ki chhaya mein
mera laal fale aur fule
parbhu mera laal fale aur fule
ye amar bel sa badhe
gagan par chadhe aankh ka tara
jiye jug jug raaj dulara
jiye jug jug raaj dulara

May my son, a king arise,
Pride of his people, loved by all,
May he live forever, a cherished prize,
May he live forever, heed his call.
May my son, a king arise,
Pride of his people, loved by all,
May he live forever, a cherished prize,
May he live forever, heed his call.

Look at my moon, make it a moon to see,
Let the world gaze and blush with grace,
I'll mark his brow with kohl, lovingly,
Lest any ill befall his face.
This sweet, sweet smile, so pure and bright,
I'd give my life, my heart, my all,
May he live forever, bathed in light,
May he live forever, heed his call.

He who, yesterday, in my arms did sway,
Now rides upon strong shoulders' hold,
Beneath the shelter of my love's array,
May my son flourish, brave and bold.
May my son flourish, brave and bold,
Like an immortal vine, he'll climb and soar,
The star within my gaze, to be told,
May he live forever, and forevermore.
