mohe la de chunariya lal
ke aise nahi rup khilta
saiya aaj na kal pe tal
ke aise nahi rup khilta
ke aise nahi rup khilta
haye ke aise nahi rup khilta
mohe la de chunariya lal
ke aise nahi rup khilta

baho me kangana pahna de
baho me kangana pahna de
pawo ke khatir jhanjhar la de
pawo ke khatir jhanjhar la de
ho fir takna fir takna meri chal
ke aise nahi rup khilta
ke aise nahi rup khilta
haye ke aise nahi rup khilta
mohe la de chunariya lal
ke aise nahi rup khilta

kab tak sakhiyo se sharamau
kab tak sakhiyo se sharamau
tere hote kis ghar jau
tere hote kis ghar jau
ho kabhi rang sunhara
kabhi rang sunhara dal ke
ke aise nahi rup khilta
ke aise nahi rup khilta
haye ke aise nahi rup khilta
mohe la de chunariya lal
ke aise nahi rup khilta

Crimson veil, bestow on me,
For beauty's bloom, a fervent plea.
My love, delay no more the day,
For beauty fades in disarray.
No, not this way,
Oh, not this way,
Not this way.
Crimson veil, bestow on me,
For beauty's bloom, a fervent plea.

Adorn my arms with bangles bright,
My feet with anklets, pure delight.
Then watch, my love, my graceful stride,
For beauty's truth must not hide.
No, not this way,
Oh, not this way,
Not this way.
Crimson veil, bestow on me,
For beauty's bloom, a fervent plea.

How long shall I from friends retreat?
With you, my love, what home is sweet?
With hues of gold, a painter's grace,
Upon my soul, your love embrace.
No, not this way,
Oh, not this way,
Not this way.
Crimson veil, bestow on me,
For beauty's bloom, a fervent plea.
