od chunariya taaro ki
od chunariya taaro ki
chanda ko lene raat chali
od chunariya taaro ki

kar solah sigaar baavari
kar solah sigaar baavari
mehandi se rang haath chali

badi badi ummide lekar
chali piyaa ko manaane
man hi man me darati hai
vo maane yaa na maane
haay ye divaane dil me ab
dilaki lekar baat chali

jab usane pi apane dekhe
aankh usaki bhar aa_i
ye thi apanaa jise samajhati
nikalaa vo harjaai
ye baavari prem ki dekho
aaj hai lekar ghaat chali

od chunariyaa taaro ki
chandaa ko lene raat chali
od chunariya taaro ki

Veiled in starlight's shimmering grace,
Veiled in starlight's shimmering grace,
The night descends to meet the moon's embrace,
Veiled in starlight's shimmering grace.

With sixteen adornments, wild and free,
With sixteen adornments, wild and free,
Her hands alight with henna, journeying she,
With sixteen adornments, wild and free.

Clutching hopes, a fragile, trembling thread,
To appease her love, where paths are led.
Within her heart, a fear unspoken lies,
Will he accept, or turn away her cries?
Oh, heart consumed, now whispers softly start,
She carries now the secrets of her heart.

When she beheld his gaze, a cruel surprise,
Her eyes overflowed with bitter, salted sighs.
The one she thought her own, a false disguise,
A betrayal born beneath deceiving skies.
Behold the love-struck, seeking love's dark art,
She walks the edge, to tear his world apart.

Veiled in starlight's shimmering grace,
The night descends to meet the moon's embrace,
Veiled in starlight's shimmering grace.
