nathani meri dole re nathani meri dole re
o koi thame to bada maja hoye
nathani meri dole re o koi thame to bada maja hoye
thame to bada maja hoye o thame to bada maja hoye
sajna tu hi laga ye mera kaha nahi mane

ki mera jane jigar tu iske kayi hai diwane
yu to nahi tum
chadati umar meri rasiya patli kamar meri
dekhu to ajab nasha hoye
nathani meri dole re o koi thame to bada maja hoye
o thame to bada maja hoye

mujhe kya mili jawani aafat mere liye layi
chhunari masak masak jaye
jab jab lu mai angdayi mai to apne bas me nahi
balam jukti rasiya rukh ja
mere sanam ruk ja to bada maja aaye
nathani meri dole re o koi thame to bada maja hoye
thame to bada maja o thame to bada maja hoye

My nose-ring sways, it sways and it sighs,
Oh, if someone would hold, what sweet joy would arise!
My nose-ring sways, oh, if someone would hold,
Such joy to be found, a story untold.
To hold it, such joy, oh, to hold it so near!
Beloved, you alone, my heart holds you dear.

For you are the one, the soul of my soul,
And many are smitten, beyond all control.
It's not that way, you see...
My youth it ascends, a vine slender, so free,
And when I behold, such madness takes hold.
My nose-ring sways, oh, if someone would hold,
Such joy to be found...

What fortune has brought, this youth, this despair?
My veil, it now rustles, with a breath of the air.
With each stretch I make, I am lost to myself,
My love, my sweet love, I can't resist your wealth.
My darling, my love, let it cease for a while,
If you would but pause, what joy would then smile!
My nose-ring sways, oh, if someone would hold,
Such joy to be found, a story untold.
