jag behta paani re
sab aani jaani re
kitni purani re
raja rani ki, sun lo kahani re

ek kashi ka tha raja
aur ek thi rani
din bhar ladte the dono
kehti mari nani
ek kashi ka tha raja
aur ek thi rani
din bhar ladte the dono
kehti mari nani
wo maadha sa dogra
thoda bangali
aayi woh durr des se
thi woh multani
yo sab hai thaari maaya
kya chokhaa khel rachaya
dono ka bhaag milaya
ram jee
chanda chakori si
haan aisi jodi thi
raja rani ki
raja rani ki
na koi hoyi thi
na koi honi thi
raja rani si
raja rani jee
ek din dono mein
jamke hui lardai
dono ne ek duje ko
aankhya dikhayi
rani ke mann mein jane
phir kya samayi
chhodha mahal chupke se
raat jo aayi
yo sab hai thaari maya
kya bhari khel rachaya
dar dar unko bhatkaya
ram jee
chanda chakori si
haan aisi jodi thi
raja rani ki
raja rani ki
kehve saare yahi
ladte hain kyun yuhi
raja rani jee
raja rani jee
pal bhar ko bichhdi jo rani
raja ki aankhyan khul gayi
bheja sandesa unko
hui bhool aaja
tu hi jo na rani sa
main kaisa raja
yo sab hai thaari maya
kya chokha khel rachaya
aur soya prem jagaya
ram jee

raja bolyo rani se
jitna bhi ladiyo
ab na bichadiyo rani jee
phir kya hua
yo sab hain thaari maya
sason ka sangh sajaya
aur prem ka raag banbaaya
ram jee
chanda chakori si
haan aisi jodi thi
raja rani ki
raja rani ki
phir na ladey kabhi
jeeve khushi khushi
raja rani jee
aja rani jee

chanda chakori si
haan aisi jodi thi
raja rani ki
raja rani ki
phir na ladey kabhi
jeeve khushi khushi
raja rani jee raja rani jee
raja rani jee raja rani jee
raja rani jee raja rani jee
raja rani jee raja rani jee
raja rani jee raja rani jee
bol kashi ki raja rani ke jai

The world, a flowing river, all comes and goes, you see,
A tale as old as time, of King and Queen, listen to me.

There was a King of Kashi, and a Queen so fair,
Fighting all day long, my grandmother did declare.
Yes, the King of Kashi, and the Queen, so bright,
They fought the whole day long, my grandmother's light.
He, a grumpy old soul, a touch of Bengali's grace,
She arrived from afar, from a distant, foreign place.
This is all Your Maya, a game You chose to weave,
Their fates entwined together, Ram, You believe.
Like moon and the chakori, a pairing so divine,
The King and the Queen, the King and Queen's design.
No fate was to be, no fate to be known,
The King and Queen, the King and Queen, alone.

One day, a great quarrel, a battle they did wage,
They glared at each other, upon life's stage.
What entered the Queen's heart, a sudden, swift change,
She left the palace silently, as night did arrange.
This is all Your Maya, such a heavy game to play,
Wandering, lost, You led them astray, Ram, come what may.
Like moon and the chakori, a pairing so divine,
The King and the Queen, the King and Queen's design.
All of them are asking, fighting for what reason?
King and Queen, King and Queen, in every season.

The Queen separated for a second from his sight,
The King's eyes opened with a brand new light
He sent a message to her, "I was a fool!"
"Without you, Queen, I am not King, my rule!"
This is all Your Maya, a game You chose to play,
And awakened sleeping love, Ram, come what may.

The King spoke to his Queen, "Though we have fought and fought,
Now we shall not be parted, Queen, as we ought."
Then what happened?
This is all Your Maya,
Adorned the song of breaths
And created the tune of love, Ram.
Like moon and the chakori,
A pairing so divine,
The King and the Queen,
The King and the Queen's design.
Never to fight again,
They lived in joy, again,
King and Queen,
Come Queen, come.

Like moon and the chakori,
A pairing so divine,
The King and the Queen,
The King and the Queen's design.
Never to fight again,
They lived in joy, again,
King and Queen, King and Queen,
King and Queen, King and Queen,
King and Queen, King and Queen,
King and Queen, King and Queen,
King and Queen, King and Queen.
The King and Queen of Kashi, Long Live!
