chhu ke iske gore tan ko
mausam bhi rang badlta hain

Mumbai's maiden, no, no,
Mumbai's maiden, no, no,
Delhi's darling, no, no,
You see this girl's form,
You know this girl's name.
Who is she, tell me, pray,
Do you know this face, this frame?
Russian, Japanese, no, no,
Mad, insane, no, no,
Mumbai's maiden, no, no,
Delhi's darling, no, no.

Like the cuckoo, she sings,
Like a deer, her body swings.
Melodies bloom and bloom,
As her anklets softly ring.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Garden's butterfly, no, no,
Oh, garden's butterfly, no, no,
Cloud's bright lightning, no, no,
You see this girl's form,
You know this girl's name.
Who is she, tell me, pray,
Do you know this face, this frame?
Russian, Japanese, no, no,
Mad, insane, no, no,
Mumbai's maiden, no, no,
Delhi's darling, no, no.

When her shawl slips from her head,
The heart of lovers is led.
Touching her fair, pale skin,
The very seasons are fed.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Silk's own tether, no, no,
Oh, silk's own tether, no, no,
Drunk moon-dove, no, no,
You see this girl's form,
You know this girl's name.
Who is she, tell me, pray,
Do you know this face, this frame?
Russian, Japanese, no, no,
Mad, insane, no, no,
Mumbai's maiden, no, no,
Delhi's darling, no, no.
